Therefore, it is recommended to have breakfast between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m., lunch 4-6 hours after breakfast, and dinner before 7 p.m. These timings are optimal for maintaining stable blood sugar levels. In conclusion, staple foods play a crucial role in providing necessary carbohydrates to the body.

It is essential to consume them in a healthy and balanced manner, while also paying attention to meal timings for better blood sugar management.
