How to consume english vada, idli without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the English vada and idli you consume. Smaller portions can help minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Balanced Plate

Pair the vada and idli with foods high in fiber and protein. Consider adding leafy greens, grilled chicken, or chickpeas to your meal to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. Adding a small portion of almonds or walnuts can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, replace regular idli with whole grain or multi-grain options. These options are often absorbed more slowly.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Incorporate Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal or consume it with a salad. Vinegar can help to lower blood sugar spikes.

Timing of Meals

Avoid consuming English vada and idli as a late-night meal. Instead, eat them earlier in the day when your body is more active.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity after eating. A short walk or some gentle stretching can aid in reducing post-meal glucose spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food. Chewing thoroughly and taking time to eat can help your body better manage blood sugar levels.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating to understand how different foods affect you and make adjustments as necessary.
