The Smart Plate: Managing Blood Sugar with Balance
A healthy plate can make all the difference in managing blood sugar, especially for seniors.
Here’s how to build a Smart Plate that supports energy, stability, and better health:
1. Fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables.
Think spinach, broccoli, peppers, or green beans; these are low in carbs and rich in fiber.
2. Add lean protein.
Include chicken, fish, eggs, or tofu; they help maintain muscle and keep you full longer.
3. Choose healthy carbs in small portions.
Opt for whole grains like brown rice or quinoa instead of refined ones, which release energy slowly.
Don’t forget hydration!
Water or herbal teas help keep blood sugar levels balanced throughout the day.
