How to consume Idli, Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of idli and sambar you consume in one sitting. Smaller quantities can help manage glucose spikes.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Add vegetables like spinach or greens to your sambar, and pair your meal with a small salad or steamed vegetables like broccoli or zucchini to slow down digestion.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, make idlis using whole grains or mixed grains instead of refined rice. Options like oats or ragi can help in slowing glucose absorption.

Add Protein

Include a side of protein such as boiled eggs, grilled chicken, or tofu. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats such as a few nuts or a teaspoon of olive oil in your meal to aid in slower digestion.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal. This can help you feel fuller and may reduce the amount you eat.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and focus on chewing your food thoroughly, which can help in better digestion and absorption.

Balanced Meal Composition

Ensure your meal is balanced with a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to avoid sudden spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light physical activity after your meal to help your body use glucose effectively.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels regularly to understand how different foods affect you and make adjustments accordingly.
