Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar may boost insulin sensitivity by lowering blood sugar and enhancing insulin’s efficacy. Additionally, when consumed before a high-carbohydrate meal, apple cider vinegar delays stomach emptying and prevents significant blood sugar increases, allowing more time for the body to absorb sugar into circulation. It also allows the body to transport more glucose into the cells from the blood, which increases insulin sensitivity.
Apple cider vinegar is often advised as a natural method for regulating blood sugar levels, particularly for those with insulin resistance. One research demonstrated that apple cider vinegar consumption raised insulin sensitivity by 34 percent in insulin-resistant individuals and 19 percent in those with type 2 diabetes.
It has been proven that consuming 20 ml or four teaspoons of apple cider vinegar before meals dramatically reduces post-meal blood sugar levels. It should be blended with a few ounces of water and eaten just before a high-carbohydrate meal. 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar should be diluted in a big glass of water before consumption. It is best to consume before meals or right before night. As with other types of vinegar, apple cider should not be consumed undiluted. On its own, vinegar may irritate the stomach and erode tooth enamel.
