How to consume Rice and daal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of rice and daal to manage the glucose response. Smaller portions can help moderate the spike in blood sugar levels.

Mix with Vegetables

Include high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers in your meal. These can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and reduce glucose spikes.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole grain versions of rice such as brown rice or quinoa, as they are digested more slowly compared to white rice.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes alongside your rice and daal. Proteins can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, or seeds to your meal. These fats can help slow the digestion process and minimize blood sugar spikes.

Pre-Meal Hydration

Drink a glass of water 20-30 minutes before eating to help with digestion and better manage glucose levels.

Balanced Meal

Ensure your meal contains a balanced mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, which can help prevent rapid increases in blood sugar.

Eat Slowly

Take your time during meals and chew thoroughly, as eating slowly can lead to better digestion and lesser spikes in glucose levels.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a 10-15 minute walk after meals, to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after meals and adjust your food choices and portions accordingly to find what works best for you.
