How to consume Arabic sweets without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit your intake of Arabic sweets by enjoying smaller portions. This will help reduce the overall sugar intake and minimize glucose spikes.

Pair with Protein

Eat a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt, nuts, or cheese, alongside your sweets. Protein can slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Include Healthy Fats

Add foods like avocados, nuts, or seeds to your meal. Healthy fats can help slow the digestion process and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're consuming sweets as part of a meal, ensure the rest of your meal includes whole grains like quinoa, barley, or oats to help balance your blood sugar.

Add Fiber

Include high-fiber foods like vegetables, legumes, or fruits such as apples or berries in your meals to slow sugar absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after consuming sweets to help with digestion and maintain optimal blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after consuming sweets to help your muscles use up some of the sugar.

Mindful Eating

Slow down and savor each bite of the sweet treat. Eating mindfully can prevent overconsumption and give your body time to process the sugar.

Monitor Other Carbs

Balance your daily carb intake by reducing other high-carb foods on days when you consume sweets.

Experiment with Ingredients

If you're preparing sweets, try using lower-sugar ingredients or substitutes like stevia or monk fruit.
