How to consume Arabic coffee, Date without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the number of dates consumed in one sitting. Even though dates are nutrient-rich, they can still cause a glucose spike when eaten in large quantities.

Pair with Protein

Consume dates with a source of protein like almonds or walnuts. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats such as avocado or a handful of nuts. These can help modulate the impact of sugar on your blood glucose levels.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair dates with foods high in fiber such as chia seeds or oats. Fiber can slow digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help manage blood sugar levels and prevent spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise such as a brisk walk after consuming dates. Physical activity can help your muscles use glucose more effectively.

Timing of Consumption

Have dates earlier in the day when your metabolism is more active, rather than close to bedtime.

Mindful Eating

Pay attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues. Eating mindfully can prevent overconsumption and help manage glucose spikes.

Balanced Meals

Ensure that your meals are well-balanced with a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Alternative Sweeteners

Experiment with using smaller amounts of dates as a sweetener in combination with other lower-sugar options such as berries.
