00:00White rice and white bread taste comforting, but for seniors over 60, too much can cause blood sugar to spike in ways that quietly drain your health.
00:08These foods are made from refined grains. That means your body turns them into sugar fast, causing quick highs and sudden crashes in energy.
00:17Maybe you've felt it before, energized after eating, then suddenly sluggish and drained. That's your blood sugar spiking and dropping.
00:24Over time, these spikes can strain your body, weakening bones, affecting memory, and making it harder to keep steady energy throughout the day.
00:33The good news is, you don't need to give up rice or bread completely. It's about adding balance and choosing smarter options.
00:41Try brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice. Swap white bread for whole grains.
00:47And remember, smaller portions with more vegetables help keep blood sugar steady.
00:51Every small change protects your health. By limiting white rice and bread and adding more whole grains, you'll feel steadier, stronger, and more in control.
