How to consume candy sweets without glucose spikes

Eat a Balanced Meal First

Before indulging in candy, consume a meal that includes lean protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich vegetables. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Opt for Dark Chocolate

If you’re craving sweets, choose dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content. It generally has less sugar than regular candy.

Pair Sweets with Nuts

Eating candy with a handful of nuts can help moderate blood sugar levels. The protein and fats in nuts slow down the digestion of sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before enjoying candy. Sometimes dehydration can exacerbate the feeling of a sugar rush.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Go for a walk after eating sweets. Light exercise can help your muscles use up some of the excess glucose in your bloodstream.

Limit Portion Size

Be mindful of how much candy you consume. Opt for a small serving size to avoid a large spike in blood sugar.

Choose Sweets with Natural Sweeteners

Look for candy made with natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit, which can have a lesser impact on blood sugar.

Space Out Consumption

Instead of eating all your candy at once, space it out over the day to help manage blood sugar levels.

Include Vinegar in Your Meal

Adding a bit of vinegar, such as in salad dressing, can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Read Labels Carefully

Pay attention to the nutritional information on candy packaging to make more informed choices about sugar content and serving size.
