How to consume Arabic sweets without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of the sweets you consume. Smaller portions mean less sugar, which can help manage blood sugar levels.

Balance with Protein

Pair sweets with a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts, a piece of cheese, or yogurt. Protein can slow down the absorption of sugar.

Eat Fiber-Rich Foods

Consume foods high in fiber before or with your sweets to help slow the absorption of sugar. Options include vegetables, legumes, or whole grains.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after consuming sweets. Staying hydrated can help your body process sugar more efficiently.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after eating. This can help your muscles use up some of the sugar, reducing its level in the bloodstream.

Choose Complex Carbohydrates

Include complex carbohydrates like quinoa, barley, or oats in your diet, which are absorbed more slowly.

Monitor Timing

Try to consume sweets after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to help slow sugar absorption.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil in your meals. These can help slow digestion and sugar absorption.

Herbal Teas

Consider drinking herbal teas, such as cinnamon or ginger tea, which are believed to help in managing blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite slowly. This can help you enjoy your sweets more and possibly reduce the quantity you consume.
