How to consume english arhar dal, steamed rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of rice while increasing the dal proportion to ensure a balanced meal with more protein and fiber.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your meal. They are high in fiber and can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, such as a small amount of olive oil, avocado, or a handful of nuts, to your meal to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Opt for Brown Rice

When possible, replace white rice with brown rice, which has a slower impact on blood sugar.

Cook Rice Al Dente

Cook rice until it's just al dente, as overcooked rice can increase its effect on blood sugar.

Add Herbs and Spices

Use herbs and spices like turmeric, cumin, and fenugreek, which may help in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout your meal to aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to improve digestion and give your body time to process the carbohydrates more gradually.

Include a Protein Source

Add a protein-rich food like grilled chicken, tofu, or boiled eggs to your meal to further slow digestion and glucose absorption.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.
