Cardiovascular events are driven by four primary modifiable factors: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, elevated blood sugar/diabetes, and tobacco use. To manage glucose, experts recommend pairing carbohydrates with fiber, protein, or healthy fats, and utilizing specific eating sequences. A study by Ewha Womans University found that following a ‘vegetable-protein-carbohydrate’ sequence can significantly reduce postprandial glucose levels, resulting in a 74.1% lower glucose area under the curve compared to eating carbohydrates first. Complementing this, light movement—such as walking or household chores—within 30 minutes of finishing a meal can help mitigate blood sugar rises and improve insulin sensitivity. ~~Medical experts~~ Recent discussions have ~~issued warnings regarding~~ addressed social media advice suggesting fruit should never be eaten alone to prevent spikes.
