How to Optimize Your Meal

Pairing egg rolls with vegetables and water slows glucose absorption:

  • 🥬 Leafy greens - Adds fiber, slows carb absorption, minimal calories
  • 🥒 Pickled vegetables - Vinegar reduces glycemic impact
  • 🍵 Green tea - Polyphenols improve glucose handling
  • 🚶 Light activity - 10-minute walk after eating flattens glucose curve

This approach extends energy release and prevents post-meal crashes.
