However, yellow dal and roti consumption can impact glucose metabolism, as both foods contain carbohydrates broken down into glucose during digestion.<\/p>\n<p>Optimise your Dal and Roti for better Glucose Management<br \/>\n\u2022 Add some fibre to the duo in the form of vegetable salad.<br \/>\n\u2022 Add some ghee to yellow dal for fat.<br \/>\n\u2022 Add a rich source of protein such as tofu\/soy chunks or granules\/tempeh\/cottage cheese\/beans\/eggs\/lean meat, etc.<br \/>\n\u2022 Ensure the roti portion is less than vegetables and protein in the meal.<br \/>\n\u2022 Follow the food flow &#8211; fibre(Salad)> protein(yellow dal) > complex carbohydrates(roti).<\/p>\n<p>While yellow dal and roti are sources of carbohydrates and can cause a spike in blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia), their relatively low glycemic index and high fibre content make them a healthier option than other carbohydrate-rich foods. It is important to consider portion size and optimise the meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.3) -
