Almonds are known for their low glycemic index, slowly releasing glucose into the bloodstream. However, they lack glucose properties causing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels). On the other hand, milk contains lactose, a type of sugar that can cause hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels) in some people. Therefore, monitoring your blood sugar levels is essential if you consume almonds with milk.
Combos for optimal health
• Almonds and black coffee- Black coffee contains caffeine that can stimulate the central nervous system and increase metabolism. Combined with almonds, it can provide a sustained release of energy without causing significant fluctuations in blood sugar levels.
• Almonds and coffee without milk and sugar- If you prefer a milder taste than black coffee, add roasted almond powder instead of milk and sugar. This combination will provide the same benefits as the first without compromising taste.
Almonds can reduce and stabilise blood sugar levels among individuals. However, you may consult your doctor before trying new food combinations if you suffer from hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
