How to consume english medu vada, idli without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the number of medu vadas and idlis you consume in one sitting to prevent a large spike. Consider having just one or two instead of more.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein such as a boiled egg, paneer, or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your meal. You can add them as a side or mix them into the batter for idli or medu vada.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, to your meal. This can help slow digestion and the absorption of sugars.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, choose whole grain versions of idli or medu vada. They are digested more slowly, which can moderate blood sugar spikes.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. This can help your muscles use some of the excess glucose in your bloodstream.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels and note how different meals affect you. Make adjustments to your portion sizes and food combinations as needed.

Consider Fermentation

Allow your idli batter to ferment properly. Fermentation can lower the impact of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, chewing thoroughly. This can aid digestion and help your body better manage blood sugar levels.
