How to consume Homemade - Rava Idli without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of Rava Idli you consume. Smaller portions can help in managing the glucose response.
Incorporate Fiber
Add vegetables like grated carrots, peas, or spinach to the Rava Idli batter. Fiber-rich foods help slow down the absorption of sugar.
Pair with Protein
Include a side of protein-rich foods like boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after your meal. Hydration can aid in digestion and help maintain stable glucose levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Consider incorporating healthy fats such as avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil into your meal. Fats can slow down carbohydrate absorption.
Engage in Light Activity
Take a short walk after your meal. Physical activity can help in lowering blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake in the muscles.
Include a Leafy Salad
Accompany your meal with a salad made of leafy greens like spinach or kale. The fiber and nutrients in greens contribute to better blood sugar management.
Monitor Meal Timing
Avoid having Rava Idli as your first meal of the day. Instead, consume it later in the day when your body is better prepared to handle carbohydrates after other nutrient-rich meals.
Chew Thoroughly
Take your time to chew your food well. This aids digestion and can prevent rapid blood sugar spikes.
Experiment with Alternatives
Try using whole grain or millet-based semolina instead of refined semolina for making Rava Idli, as they have a more gradual effect on blood sugar levels.
