How to consume english dal, quinoa without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of both English dal and quinoa. Smaller servings can help in moderating glucose spikes.

Protein Addition

Incorporate a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes like chickpeas or black beans. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds (such as chia or flaxseeds) to your meal. Fats can slow the digestion process, leading to a steadier glucose response.

Vegetable Inclusion

Serve your meal with non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. The fiber in these vegetables can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Meal Timing

Ensure that you are eating your meals at regular intervals to avoid large spikes. Consistency in meal timing can help regulate your body’s insulin response.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Adequate hydration can aid in the proper metabolism of glucose.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals. This can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to enhance digestion and absorption, which can help in managing glucose levels effectively.

Vinegar Use

Consider adding a splash of vinegar to your quinoa or salad. Vinegar has been shown to help with glucose control.

Spices

Incorporate spices like cinnamon or turmeric into your dishes. They have properties that may help in moderating blood sugar levels.
