How to consume Chai, Namkeen without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of Namkeen you consume in a single sitting to reduce the overall carbohydrate load.

Protein Pairing

Include a source of protein like a handful of nuts or a boiled egg with your Chai and Namkeen to slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Fiber Addition

Add high-fiber foods such as a small serving of raw vegetables (like cucumber or carrot sticks) alongside your Namkeen to help moderate sugar absorption.

Hydration Balance

Drink water or herbal teas without added sugars before or after consuming Chai to aid digestion and prevent dehydration, which can exacerbate blood sugar fluctuations.

Chai Modification

Opt for Chai made with unsweetened almond milk or low-fat milk and use a natural, no-sugar sweetener, or reduce the amount of sugar you typically add.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, like a 10-15 minute walk after consuming Chai and Namkeen, to help utilize excess glucose.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your Chai and Namkeen, allowing your body time to process and respond to the food intake more effectively.

Regular Meal Timing

Ensure you are eating Chai and Namkeen as part of a regular meal schedule to prevent extreme hunger, which can lead to overconsumption and spikes.
