ADVICE

Vinegar for Blood Sugar Control

  • Consume vinegar, especially apple cider vinegar, with meals to reduce blood sugar spikes.
  • Aim for 1-2 tablespoons; it lowers glycemic impact by 30-40% and insulin by 20%.
ADVICE

Optimal Food Order

  • Prioritize protein and vegetables before carbohydrates in meals to minimize blood sugar and insulin spikes.
  • This eating order significantly improves metabolic health, as shown in a 2015 Diabetes Care study.
ADVICE

Strategic Movement

  • Do high-intensity exercise like air squats 10-15 minutes before high-carb meals.
  • If you've already eaten, opt for a low-intensity walk to help process the sugars.
