How to consume english indian pongal rice, sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the quantity of pongal rice consumed. Smaller portions can help in managing the rise in glucose levels.

Balanced Plate

Include a variety of vegetables in your meal. Adding fiber-rich vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Protein Addition

Incorporate a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like a small amount of avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. Fats can also slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Hydration

Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help in better digestion and often assists in controlling hunger and portion sizes.

Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your meal. These acidic components can help lower the rate at which your body absorbs carbohydrates.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by using glucose for energy.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. Mindful eating can help with digestion and may prevent overeating.

Regular Meal Timing

Ensure you have regular meals and avoid long gaps between meals to maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust
