How to consume Medjool Dates, Walnuts without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the number of Medjool dates you consume in one sitting. Consider having just one or two dates paired with walnuts to keep the glucose spike minimal.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein in your snack. Foods like Greek yogurt or a small piece of cheese can help slow down the absorption of sugar, minimizing the spike.

Fiber Addition

Add high-fiber foods such as chia seeds or flaxseeds to your snack. These can be mixed with yogurt or sprinkled over the dates and walnuts to aid in slowing digestion.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before eating your snack. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve digestion.

Eat Slowly

Take your time when eating. Chewing thoroughly and slowing down the pace of eating can aid digestion and reduce the speed of sugar absorption.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming your snack. This can help your body use up some of the glucose more effectively.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on your dates or walnuts. Cinnamon is known to help in managing blood sugar levels.

Balanced Meal

If possible, integrate the snack into a balanced meal that includes lean proteins, healthy fats, and vegetables to minimize the glucose impact.

Snack Timing

Consume the snack as part of a meal rather than on its own. Eating it with other foods can help mitigate the glucose spike.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to these changes and adjust the portion sizes or combinations based on your personal glucose response.
