How to consume english masoor dal without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of masoor dal you consume. Smaller servings will naturally lead to a smaller spike in glucose levels.
Combine with High-Fiber Foods
Pair your masoor dal with vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. These foods help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate sources of healthy fats like avocados, nuts, or seeds into your meal. These can help moderate the impact on your blood sugar levels.
Include Protein
Add a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, alongside your dal. Protein also aids in stabilizing blood sugar.
Opt for Whole Grains
Instead of having dal with white rice, choose whole grains like quinoa or pearl barley, which have a slower effect on blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water during your meal. Proper hydration can aid in digestion and regulate blood sugar spikes.
Cook with Vinegar
Use a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, in your dal. Vinegar can help in lowering post-meal glucose spikes.
Mind Your Meal Timing
Have your meal at a consistent time each day to help your body maintain a stable blood sugar rhythm.
Exercise Regularly
Engage in light physical activity after meals, like a short walk, to help your muscles use up glucose and reduce spikes.
Monitor Your Response
Keep track of how your body responds to different food combinations and adjustments, and modify your choices accordingly.
