Not all sugars affect your body the same way! High-GI foods cause blood sugar to spike quickly—like a roller coaster—leading to an energy crash and hunger soon after.
But with low-GI foods like lontar sugar, blood sugar rises gradually and stays stable, giving you longer-lasting energy without sudden crashes.

Choosing low-GI foods helps maintain steady energy levels and overall well-being.
