MANAGING SUGAR SPIKES

When you eat something high in sugar (or fast-digesting carbs), your blood sugar rises quickly — this is called a sugar spike.

Role of Insulin: Insulin is like a key that helps move sugar from your blood into your body’s cells. Your cells then use this sugar for energy.

Why sugar spikes are bad:
- Stress on the body: Big spikes mean your body suddenly has too much sugar to deal with. Insulin has to work extra hard to bring it down.
- Crash afterwards: After a spike, sugar levels often drop quickly, making you feel tired, hungry, or craving more sugar.
- More fat storage: If your cells already have enough energy, the extra sugar gets stored as fat (especially belly fat).
- Over time: Frequent spikes can make your cells stop responding well to insulin (insulin resistance) — this increases the risk of diabetes, weight gain, and heart problems.

👉 In short: Sugar spikes push insulin to work overtime. While some sugar is stored for energy, repeated high spikes make your body store more fat and raise long-term health risks.

BUT WAIT!! IT CAN BE MANAGED.
1. Pair carbs with protein or healthy fat to slow down sugar release into the blood.
Example: Instead of plain white bread → have whole-grain toast with peanut butter or avocado.

2. Choose slow carbs (low GI foods)
Better: Brown rice, oats, quinoa, whole fruits, beans, lentils.
Avoid often: White rice, white bread, pastries, sweetened cereals.

3. Add fiber in the form of Veggies, nuts, seeds, and whole fruits (instead of juice).
Fiber acts like a “shield,” slowing sugar absorption.

4. Eat in the right order. Start meals with veggies or protein, then carbs.
This simple trick lowers the sugar spike from the meal.

5. Watch liquid sugar
Soda, fruit juice, energy drinks, even sweetened coffee cause sharp spikes.
Swap for water, sparkling water, unsweetened tea, or coffee with little/no sugar.

6. Move a little after meals
A 10–15 min walk after eating helps muscles soak up sugar, lowering spikes.

🍎 Tracking Calories: The Real Story! ⚖️

Ever tried tracking your calories and felt confused? You’re not alone! Here’s what you need to know:

Counting calories means adding up everything you eat and comparing it to what you burn through activity. Simple, right? If you eat more than you burn, your body stores the extra as weight. Eat less than you burn, and you’ll lose weight. Balance them, and you maintain your weight.

BUT—it’s not quite that simple!

What Most People Miss:

Your body uses energy for more than just exercise. Breathing, your heartbeat, blood flow, and all those behind-the-scenes processes burn calories too!
Plus, the calories listed on food labels are just estimates—they don’t always match what your body actually absorbs. Factors like age, height, weight, hormones, stress, sleep, and even the weather can change how your body uses energy.

So, Is Tracking Worth It?

Absolutely! While it’s impossible to be 100% accurate, tracking your calories gives you a good estimate and helps you make healthier choices. It’s a fantastic tool for building awareness and staying motivated on your health journey.

We offer online counselling, video calls, and phone support to help you achieve your goals and find balance again!

INDIAN SPICES AND HEALTH
Indian culinary tradition promotes health through its rich use of spices and ingredients, each offering unique benefits that go far beyond flavor. Spices like turmeric, cumin, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and black pepper are foundational in Indian cooking and are packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and essential vitamins and minerals.

Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent that helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases, supports immunity, and aids digestion.

Cumin and coriander aid digestion, boost immunity, and help regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Ginger and garlic are known for their anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits, as well as their ability to boost immunity and heart health.

Cardamom and cinnamon help regulate blood pressure, improve digestion, and have antimicrobial properties.

Black pepper enhances nutrient absorption and supports metabolism and gut health.

These spices not only make meals flavorful but also support digestion, boost immunity, regulate blood sugar, promote heart health, and help prevent inflammation and infections. This holistic approach, rooted in both culinary tradition and Ayurveda, makes Indian cuisine a powerful ally for long-term wellness.

TRADITIONAL INDIAN FOOD:
Indian food traditionally naturally align with healthy lifestyle choices through their emphasis on balanced, nutrient-rich meals, mindful eating, and the use of health-promoting ingredients.

Balanced Nutrition:
Traditional Indian meals are built around a variety of vegetables, whole grains and legumes which provide essential vitamins, minerals, fiber and plant-based protein. This balance supports digestion, sustained energy, and muscle development, while helping maintain a healthy weight and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

Health-Boosting Spices and Herbs:
Indian cuisine makes extensive use of spices such as turmeric, ginger, garlic and cumin, known for their anti-inflammatory, digestive, and immune-boosting properties. These ingredients not only add flavor but also contribute to heart health, improved gut function, and overall wellness.

Vegetarian-Friendly and Plant-Based:
A significant portion of Indian cuisine is vegetarian, offering a wide range of dishes that are both satisfying and rich in nutrients. Meals with different dals, lentils and various vegetable curries are staples that support a plant-based, healthy lifestyle.

Ayurvedic Principles and Mindful Eating:
Indian food traditions are deeply influenced by Ayurveda, which promotes mindful eating and balance in the diet. This approach encourages eating fresh, home-cooked meals, savoring each bite, and choosing foods that support both physical and mental well-being.

Digestive Health and Immunity:
Fermented foods (like yogurt, kanji and dosa), fiber-rich grains, and probiotic ingredients are common in Indian diets, supporting gut health and boosting immunity. Herbs and spices like amla (Indian gooseberry) and tulsi (holy basil) are also valued for their immune-strengthening properties.

Home Cooking and Customization:
Indian food traditions favor home-cooked meals using fresh ingredients, less oil, and minimal preservatives, making it easier to control nutrition and adapt dishes to individual health needs.

By integrating these time-tested traditions, Indian cuisine offers a delicious and holistic path to a healthier lifestyle—proving that taste and wellness can go hand in hand.
