00:14As we age, our metabolism slows.
00:17Cells become sensitive to sugar.
00:19Small food changes make a significant difference without strict diets.
00:24Choose slow-carb foods for balanced energy.
00:27Slow carbs break down gently, avoiding sugar spikes.
00:31Swap white rice for brown and sugary cereals for oatmeal.
00:35One small swap daily can help.
00:37Add protein to every meal.
00:39It stabilizes energy and keeps you full longer.
00:42Just an egg, some beans, or yogurt helps balance sugar effectively.
00:47Fill half your plate with fiber-rich vegetables.
00:49Fiber slows digestion and supports heart health.
00:52The colorful vegetables help protect blood sugar like a shield.
00:57Eat more healthy fat.

01:22Dessert isn't off-limits.
01:24Time it right.
01:26Enjoy desserts after meals, not on an empty stomach.
01:29This method delays sugar spikes and keeps you satisfied.
01:33Take a 10-minute after-meal walk.
01:35A short walk lowers blood sugar effectively.
01:38It's gentle on joints and easy, even in your living room.
01:42Try simple brain exercises to support healthy eating.
01:46Stress impacts diabetes, too.
