A Simple, Blood-Sugar-Friendly Meal Idea
Putting this advice into practice doesn’t have to be complicated. Here is an example of a simple, delicious, and balanced lunch that supports stable blood sugar:
The Savvy Senior’s Salmon Salad Plate
Start with a generous bed of leafy greens like spinach or romaine lettuce. Top it with a scoop of canned salmon or tuna (packed in water), which is rich in protein and healthy omega-3 fats. Instead of mayonnaise, mix the fish with a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add some crunchy, non-starchy vegetables like sliced cucumber, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes. For a bit of healthy fat and extra crunch, sprinkle a few chopped walnuts or sunflower seeds on top. This meal provides a perfect balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, all of which work together to keep you full and your blood sugar steady.
