How to consume english besan chilla, mung beans (mature seeds, sprouted) without glucose spikes

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add more non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, bell peppers, or broccoli to your meal to increase its fiber content, which can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal. These fats can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Combine with Protein

Pair the meal with a lean protein source like grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Practice Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of besan chilla and mung beans to limit the amount of carbohydrates you consume at one time.

Include a Vinegar-Based Dressing

If you're eating a salad on the side, use a vinegar-based dressing. The acetic acid in vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process carbohydrates more effectively.

Choose Whole Grains

If you’re adding grains to the meal, opt for quinoa or barley, which have a slower impact on blood glucose levels.

Time Your Meals

Space out your meals and snacks evenly throughout the day to avoid large spikes in glucose levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try consuming your meal in the morning or early afternoon when insulin sensitivity tends to be higher, rather than in the evening.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Consider going for a short walk after your meal to help improve glucose uptake into your muscles.
