How to consume Idli, Poha, Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion sizes of Idli, Poha, and Sambar. Smaller portions can lead to a smaller glucose response.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein with your meal, such as a side of cottage cheese (paneer) or a small serving of lentils (dal). Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate vegetables like spinach or broccoli into your meal. Fiber slows digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar.

Include Healthy Fats

Adding a small amount of healthy fats, such as a spoon of flaxseeds or a few almonds, can help modulate blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before, during, and after meals. Proper hydration can help your body regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Be Active Post-Meal

Engage in a light activity, such as a short walk, after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Try Fermented Sides

Include probiotic-rich foods like a small serving of yogurt with your meal. Fermented foods can have a beneficial effect on blood sugar control.

Chew Slowly

Eating slowly and chewing thoroughly can help improve digestion and reduce the speed at which glucose enters your bloodstream.
