@glucosegoddess_: recap of my favorite quick and easy glucose spike hacks to drink or take right before you eat! 1. Vinegar 2. Mulberry Leaf 3. Lemon (not as strong, but still interesting) The acetic acid in vinegar slows down how quickly food leaves our stomach and tells our muscles to soak up glucose as it arrives in our bloodstream. Mulberry leaf contains a molecule called DNJ which works more directly: it blocks the enzyme alpha-glucosidase which breaks down carbs into glucose in your intestines. So less glucose is absorbed by the food you eat.
