Effective Hacks for Managing Glucose Spikes

Incorporating a savory breakfast can set the tone for better glucose management throughout the day. Consuming one tablespoon of vinegar diluted in a large glass of water before the largest meal can reduce glucose spikes by up to 30% due to the acetic acid in vinegar, which interacts with digestive enzymes. Additionally, starting meals with vegetables creates a protective fibrous barrier that slows the absorption of glucose, leading to smaller glucose spikes and prolonged satiety. Moving for just 10 minutes after eating, such as through light exercise or even office-based movements, activates muscles that effectively absorb glucose from the bloodstream, further aiding in reducing glucose levels. Combining these strategies, such as using vinegar in a vegetable dressing, can enhance their effectiveness, helping manage cravings and energy crashes.
