October is Cancer Awareness Month — a timely reminder to nourish our bodies with foods that support healing rather than feed cancerous cells. One of the simplest yet most powerful ways to reduce cancer risk is to consciously regulate our sugar intake.
When we say “sugar,” we don’t just mean the white crystals we stir into our tea. Sugar hides in many everyday foods — from flours and rice to fruits and processed items. Even the grains we consider staples, like wheat and rice, can spike our blood sugar when consumed in excess.
Why Regulating Sugar Matters
If you’re a roti lover and eat it with every meal, your daily sugar intake is higher than you think. The same goes for rice. When these form the bulk of your plate without balancing them with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, your body experiences spikes in glucose, creating an environment that may encourage unhealthy cell growth.
This doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite foods. It’s about balance and moderation. Pairing your grains with vegetables, lentils, and good fats (like A2 ghee) helps neutralize the sugar effect and keeps your meals wholesome.
The Power of Giving Your Body a Break
Another powerful step is to take short breaks from certain foods — especially gluten. Try cutting off gluten for two to three weeks and notice how your body feels. Many people experience improved energy levels, better digestion, and reduced inflammation.
If you’re wondering what to eat during your gluten-free phase, I’ve got a simple, delicious, and gut-friendly recipe for you — one that’s been a favorite in my home.
