How to consume Homemade - Idly without glucose spikes
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers when consuming idly to slow down the absorption of glucose.
Include Protein-Rich Foods
Pair idly with protein sources such as eggs, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Use Whole Grains
Substitute a portion of the rice in the idly batter with whole grains like quinoa or barley to help moderate glucose spikes.
Add Healthy Fats
Include a small amount of healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or flaxseeds in your meal to improve insulin sensitivity and slow glucose absorption.
Control Portion Sizes
Limit the number of idlies consumed in one sitting to prevent excessive glucose intake.
Hydrate Adequately
Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and moderate blood sugar levels.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process and regulate blood sugar levels.
Include a Vinegar-Based Salad
A small salad with a vinegar dressing can help to slow down the rise of blood sugar levels after eating.
Opt for Fermented Foods
Include a small portion of fermented foods like yogurt or kimchi with your meal to aid digestion and reduce glucose spikes.
Consider Cinnamon
Sprinkle a little cinnamon on your meal, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.
