How to consume rice and rajma without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of rice and rajma in your meal to help manage glucose levels effectively.

Whole Grains

Replace white rice with brown rice or quinoa, which are less likely to cause a large spike in glucose levels.

Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add a generous serving of vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your meal to slow down digestion and absorption.

Protein Addition

Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, which can aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or nuts into your meal, which can help moderate the rise in glucose levels.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a vinegar-based dressing on your salad, as the acetic acid can improve your body’s response to carbohydrates.

Pre-Meal Snack

Consider having a small, balanced snack like almonds or a piece of cheese before your meal to prepare your body for a more balanced glucose response.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use up the glucose more effectively.

Hydration

Drink water throughout the day and with your meal, which can help with digestion and the efficient use of glucose.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to promote better digestion and absorption, leading to a more controlled glucose response.
