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

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the English rajma and quinoa. Eating smaller quantities can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli into your meal. These vegetables can help slow down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. Fats can slow digestion and the release of glucose, leading to more stable blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Protein

Pair your meal with a protein source like grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils. Protein can help balance blood sugar levels by slowing carbohydrate absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

If you are using any additional grains, opt for whole grains such as barley or farro, which have similar benefits in terms of slowing glucose release.

Hydration

Ensure you stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before and during your meal, as this can aid in digestion and help manage glucose levels.

Acidic Additions

Add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to your meal. Acidic foods can help reduce the blood sugar response to carbohydrates.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by chewing your food slowly and thoroughly. This can aid in digestion and help regulate your blood sugar response.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk after eating. This can assist in lowering blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Your Responses

Keep track of how your body responds to different meals and adjust your dietary choices accordingly to minimize glucose spikes.
