How to consume Homemade - Chana Dal + Ghiya / Lauki (Split Chick Pea + Bottle Gourd Curry) Cooked In Salt, Roti without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of your meal to help manage the glucose response. Smaller portions can lead to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Balanced Plate

Ensure your meal includes a balance of macronutrients. Pair your curry and roti with a side of protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, and healthy fats like avocado or nuts.

Fiber Addition

Add a high-fiber side like a mixed green salad or steamed non-starchy vegetables. Fiber can help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Whole Grain Roti

Consider making your roti with whole grain or multigrain flour, which can be more slowly digested and result in a steadier blood sugar level.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal. Staying hydrated can support your body’s ability to regulate blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to signal when it's full, which can prevent overeating and help manage blood sugar spikes.

Meal Timing

Try to eat at regular intervals throughout the day. Avoid skipping meals, which can lead to larger spikes when you do eat.

Physical Activity

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.

Spice it Up

Include spices like cinnamon or turmeric in your meals. These spices have been shown to have beneficial effects on blood sugar regulation.

Monitor Ingredients

Be cautious with the amount of salt and any added sugars in your curry. Opt for fresh ingredients and minimal processing to ensure your meal is as healthy as possible.
