Rises and dips in blood glucose levels influence our daily energy. Sharp spikes after eating often lead to crashes and can signify a risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Dr. Christine Bosch's research supports the benefits of apple cider vinegar, showing that 15-30 millilitres daily can lower fasting glucose and improve cholesterol levels. While vinegar may help blood glucose in the long term, evidence for its immediate effects before meals is lacking. Eating acidic foods, like lemon juice, might reduce spikes by affecting carbohydrate digestion, although frequent use can harm dental health.
Dr Christine Bosch explains that while vinegar may stabilize blood glucose long-term, taking it right before meals lacks strong evidence for immediate reduction of sugar spikes.
Studies indicate that 15-30 millilitres of apple cider vinegar daily can effectively lower fasting blood glucose, potentially reducing risks of diabetes and improving blood lipid levels.
Research suggests that consuming acidic foods, like lemon juice, can influence carbohydrate digestion by reducing the activity of the enzyme amylase, leading to lower blood sugar spikes.
Frequent spikes in blood glucose can lead to insulin resistance, highlighting the importance of managing glucose levels to avoid long-term health issues including type 2 diabetes.
