Diabetes Alert: 3 'Superfoods' That Spike Blood Sugar Levels

• Ayurvedic physician Diksha Bhavsar Savaliya identifies three seemingly healthy foods that diabetic patients should limit or avoid.
• Curd, despite common belief, is hot in nature, heavy to digest, and increases Kapha dosha, potentially worsening insulin sensitivity and cholesterol.
• Jaggery, while healthier than refined sugar due to its natural processing and nutrients, can still cause significant blood sugar spikes if consumed in large quantities.
• White salt, though not directly affecting blood sugar, contributes to high blood pressure, increasing risks of heart disease, stroke, and kidney issues for diabetics.
• Patients are advised to consult experts and consider alternatives like buttermilk (instead of curd) and rock salt/Himalayan pink salt (instead of white salt).

Why It Matters: Diabetics should be cautious with curd, jaggery, and white salt, as they can negatively impact blood sugar and overall health.
