Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or nuts to help moderate blood sugar spikes by delaying gastric emptying.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support overall metabolism and help manage blood glucose levels effectively.

Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking or cycling, which can help improve insulin sensitivity and better manage blood sugar levels.
