How to consume Arabic coffee, Date without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the number of dates you consume in one sitting to manage the glucose spike. Start with one or two dates and adjust based on your body's response.

Pair with Protein

Combine dates with a protein source, such as a handful of almonds or walnuts, to slow down sugar absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

If consuming dates with a meal, include whole grains like quinoa or brown rice that digest more slowly.

Include Fiber

Add high-fiber foods such as vegetables or legumes to your meal. Options like lentils or chickpeas can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body regulate glucose levels more effectively.

Timing Matters

Consume dates earlier in the day or as part of a meal rather than on an empty stomach to minimize spikes.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming dates to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how different quantities of dates affect you personally.

Balanced Meals

Ensure your meals are balanced with healthy fats, protein, and fiber to create a more gradual glucose response.

Mindful Eating

Pay attention to how your body feels after consuming dates and adjust your intake accordingly to avoid excessive spikes.
