How to consume South Indian meals without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consider reducing the portion size of high-carbohydrate components such as rice and dosa. Smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels.

Balanced Meals

Pair your meals with protein and fiber-rich foods. Include lentils, chickpeas, or moong dal, which help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Vegetable Addition

Include non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower. These can be added to dishes or served as a side to provide fiber and nutrients.

Whole Grains

Opt for whole grains instead of refined ones. Use brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice to keep your meals nutritious and filling.

Fermented Foods

Incorporate fermented foods like idli, which have a lower impact on blood sugar levels compared to non-fermented options.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats to your meals, such as avocado, nuts, or seeds, to slow digestion and maintain stable glucose levels.

Cooking Methods

Choose cooking methods like steaming, boiling, or grilling over frying to retain the nutritional value of the foods.

Eat Slowly

Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to give your body time to process and regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during meals to help with digestion and glucose management.

Regular Activity

Engage in light physical activity like walking after meals to help lower blood sugar levels naturally.
