How to consume Roti, Spinach without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the roti. Smaller portions will have a lesser effect on your blood sugar levels.

Whole Grain Roti

Opt for whole grain or multigrain rotis. They are digested more slowly, causing a gradual rise in blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils alongside your meal. Protein slows down the digestion of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like a small amount of olive oil, avocado, or nuts to your meal. Fats can help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Increase Spinach

Increase the portion of spinach in your meal, as it is low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, which helps in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add other fiber-rich vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower to the meal to slow down the digestion process.

Vinegar

Consider having a small amount of vinegar or a salad with vinaigrette dressing before your meal. Some studies suggest vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to stay hydrated, as this can aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food and avoid overeating.
