How to consume english indian pongal rice | tea with milk and sugar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the quantity of pongal rice consumed in one sitting. Smaller portions will help in minimizing the spike.

Add Protein and Fiber

Incorporate sources of protein and fiber such as boiled eggs, lentils, or chickpeas alongside your meal. These can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Vegetable Intake

Add non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to your meal. These can help balance blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal to help slow down digestion and absorption of sugars.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, substitute pongal rice with whole grains like quinoa or barley, which are digested more slowly.

Drink Water

Instead of tea with milk and sugar, choose water or unsweetened herbal tea. Hydration without added sugars is beneficial.

Use Spices

Incorporate spices such as cinnamon, turmeric, and fenugreek in your cooking. These spices have properties that can help in managing blood sugar levels.

Limit Sugar

If you must have tea, use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit instead of regular sugar. Alternatively, reduce the amount of sugar you add.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after meals. This can help in utilizing the glucose in your bloodstream more efficiently.

Frequent, Smaller Meals

Consider eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day instead of large meals. This can help in maintaining more stable blood sugar levels.
