How to consume english rajma, quinoa (cooked) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of both English rajma and quinoa to help manage the glucose spike while still enjoying the meal.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to add more fiber, which can slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts to your meal. These fats can help slow digestion and the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce spikes.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and prevent overeating, which can contribute to higher glucose levels.

Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew food thoroughly and eat slowly. This can enhance digestion and prevent large glucose spikes.

Use Vinegar

Consider adding a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal or as a dressing. It may help lower the blood sugar response.

Monitor Timing of Meals

Avoid eating large meals late at night. Try to have your meals at least 3 hours before bedtime to allow your body to process the carbohydrates effectively.

Experiment with Spices

Use spices like cinnamon or turmeric, which may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating to help your muscles use some of the glucose from your meal.
