How to consume Ajwa - Dates without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume Ajwa dates with a source of protein, like a handful of almonds or a piece of cheese, to slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of healthy fats such as avocado or a spoonful of natural peanut butter alongside your dates to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat with Fiber

Combine dates with fiber-rich foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of whole oats to moderate the release of glucose.

Hydration

Drink water before and after eating Ajwa dates to aid digestion and help your body process sugars more efficiently.

Smaller Portions

Limit the quantity of dates you consume in one sitting to avoid overwhelming your body's ability to manage the sugar content.

Time Your Intake

Consume Ajwa dates as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to help mitigate spikes.

Practice Mindful Eating

Chew dates slowly and savor each bite to improve digestion and provide your body with more time to handle the sugar intake.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after consuming dates to help your muscles use up more glucose and reduce spikes.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after consuming dates to understand how they affect you personally and adjust your intake accordingly.

Consult a Healthcare Professional

Speak with a nutritionist or healthcare provider to tailor specific dietary recommendations to your individual health needs and goals.
