English Jaggery (100 G)

Reduce the jaggery portion and avoid eating it by itself; use a small amount only after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair jaggery with protein and healthy fats, such as plain Greek yogurt, a small handful of almonds or walnuts, or paneer.

Add high-fiber foods alongside it, such as chia seeds, ground flaxseed, lentils, chickpeas, or non-starchy vegetables.

Choose a lower-sugar alternative for sweetness when possible, such as berries, an apple, pear, orange, or a small serving of dark chocolate (70%+ cacao).

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating jaggery to help your muscles use circulating glucose.

Avoid combining jaggery with other rapidly absorbed carbohydrates, including sweet drinks, refined-flour snacks, white rice, or large portions of bread.
