How to consume Idli, Sambhar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of idlis you consume. Eating smaller amounts can help moderate the spike in blood glucose levels.

Protein Addition

Pair your meal with a source of protein, such as a serving of yogurt or a boiled egg. Protein can help slow down the digestion process and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Fiber-Rich Additions

Include a side of vegetables, such as a salad or sautéed greens. The fiber content helps in slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like a small amount of nuts or seeds. This addition can help moderate the rise in blood sugar levels after your meal.

Hydration

Drink water or herbal tea before and after your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in better digestion and glucose management.

Activity Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This practice can aid in better digestion and help avoid overeating.

Timing of Meals

Try to maintain regular meal times and avoid eating idli sambhar on an empty stomach. Balancing it with other meals throughout the day can prevent large spikes.

Whole Grains Incorporation

If possible, opt for idlis made with whole grains or mixed grains, which can have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to the meal and adjust portion sizes or combinations as needed for better glucose control.
