Arabic Sweets (1 piece)

Have a smaller portion—such as one small piece—and avoid going back for seconds.

Eat Arabic sweets after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair the sweet with a small handful of almonds, walnuts, or pistachios to slow absorption.

Choose sweets made with nuts and less syrup when possible, and limit syrup-heavy options such as extra-soaked baklava.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating.

Avoid sweet drinks, fruit juice, or additional desserts alongside the sweets; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.
