October marks Cancer Awareness Month — a gentle reminder to fuel our bodies with foods that support healing instead of feeding harmful cells. One of the simplest yet most effective ways to lower cancer risk is by keeping a mindful eye on sugar intake.
And when we talk about “sugar,” it’s not just the white crystals we add to our tea. Sugar is often hidden in everyday foods — from flours and rice to fruits and processed snacks. Even staple grains like wheat and rice can cause blood sugar spikes if eaten in large amounts.
Why Regulating Sugar Matters
If you love your daily rotis or rice, your sugar intake may be higher than you realize. When these staples make up most of your plate without being balanced with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, they can cause blood sugar spikes — creating conditions that may encourage unhealthy cell growth.
But this doesn’t mean you need to give up your favorite foods. It’s all about balance and moderation. Pairing grains with vegetables, lentils, and healthy fats like A2 ghee can help stabilize blood sugar, making your meals more nourishing and wholesome.
The Power of Giving Your Body a Break
Another powerful way to support your body is by taking short breaks from certain foods — especially gluten. Try going gluten-free for two to three weeks and observe how your body responds. Many people notice higher energy, better digestion, and a visible reduction in inflammation.
If you’re wondering what to enjoy during this gluten free phase, here’s a simple, nourishing, and gut-friendly recipe — one that’s become a comforting favorite in my own home.
