How to consume Tea rusk without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a boiled egg, a handful of nuts, or a piece of cheese, to slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the tea rusk.

Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods

Add fiber-rich foods like a small apple, a pear, or a few carrot sticks to your snack. Fiber can help moderate the spike in blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of sugars.

Control Portion Size

Limit the portion size of the tea rusk you consume. Breaking it into smaller pieces or having just one can help manage the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water or herbal tea alongside your snack. Staying hydrated helps your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Choose Whole Grain or Multigrain Rusk

If available, opt for whole grain or multigrain tea rusk as an alternative. The additional fiber content can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to savor each bite. Eating slowly can enhance digestion and help prevent rapid increases in blood sugar.

Balance with a Light Physical Activity

Consider a short, light walk or some gentle stretching after eating to help your body use up some of the glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how your body reacts to different foods and adjust your intake accordingly.

Avoid Sugary Additions

Skip adding sugar or honey to your tea when having it with rusk, as it can contribute to a higher glucose spike.

Eat in Moderation and Balance Meals Throughout the Day

Ensure that your overall diet includes balanced meals with appropriate portions of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats throughout the day.
