Vinegar may help control diabetes by lowering sugar levels
Adding a little Vinegar helps in lowering blood sugar levels, this in fact has been confirmed by many studies.
Carbohydrates are converted into sugar by digestive enzymes, but vinegar helps in blocking these digestive enzymes, thus producing less sugar and slowing down the absorption of sugar by our body after meals.
People who are suffering from diabetes and have a tendency of spiking their blood sugar levels immediately after a meal should seriously think of adding a drop of vinegar in their meals.Diabetes Care had published the result of a study in 2004 which revealed that adding vinegar with meals helped control sugar levels by reducing the rise in blood sugar levels by 30%.
Participants in a study conducted by Italian researches who consumed salad with vinegar showed a 30% reduction of rise in blood sugar level. For the study all the participants were given meals that included 50 grams of carbohydrates and white bread, and salad. Some of the participants were given salad with 4 teaspoons white vinegar.
So if you are diabetic you can control it by simply adding a little vinegar into your meals.
