🍎 Carb Hacks to Reduce Glucose Spikes
Today’s lesson, “Carb Hacks To Reduce Glucose Spikes,” shares simple but powerful hacks you can use to keep your blood sugar steady, even when you include carbs in your meals.
Here are three that make a big difference:
👉 Add vinegar to your meals
Studies show that 2–6 tablespoons of vinegar (like apple cider vinegar or sugar-free balsamic) can help lower the glucose spike from carb-heavy meals. Try it as a salad dressing instead of drinking it in water — it’s better for your teeth and just as effective.👉 Take a short walk after eating
A 20-minute walk after a carb-rich meal can significantly reduce blood sugar spikes. Movement helps your muscles pull glucose out of the blood for energy, and the more muscle you build over time, especially in your legs and thighs, the better your blood sugar control.👉 Pair carbs with protein or fat
Never eat carbs alone. Combining something like fruit with nut butter, or whole grain crackers with hummus, slows the spike and helps keep your energy more stable.💡 Small shifts like these can have a big impact on your daily energy, mood, and long-term health.
