She shared several practical and culturally relevant nutrition recommendations, including cooking rice a day in advance and cooling it overnight to convert starch into resistant starch, which supports gut health and helps lower the glycemic index. Additional guidance included incorporating chia seeds into roti dough to promote satiety with smaller portions, choosing protein-rich alternatives such as quinoa and edamame, and adopting simple lifestyle habits like eating cucumber slices before meals and engaging in light physical activity or household chores after lunch to boost metabolism.

The session was informative and well received by participants.
