Meghna Dasgupta at The Hindu’s Business Line gives tips on food for breakfast that helps to keep the blood sugar level in check. In short, eat complex carbohydrates (whole grain items) with protein (soy milk, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, lentils, and legumes) as it helps to slow sugar absorption. Some key takeaways for me are:

• Drink a large glass of hot water as soon as you get up to get the bowels moving and keep you hydrated.
• Drink herbal/fruit teas instead of regular/green tea or coffee as they are stimulants and raise sugar levels.
• Eat raw fruit instead of fruit juices as they lack fiber and raise sugar levels quickly.
• Eat plain unsweetened yogurt
• Drink soy milk
