The 10 minutes after you eat matter more than most workouts
Not because of calories
Not because of weight

You donโt feel glucose spikes
But they quietly accumulate damage for decades
Repeated spikes:
โณ Create a more inflammatory, โstickierโ vessel wall
โณ Stress the inner lining of blood vessels
โณ Trigger repeated injury and repair
