The month of December that is about to enter is the month par excellence of excesses. Long weekends and Christmas make this time of year the time for family and friends gatherings to celebrate the year that is ending.
As usual, the tables cannot be missing the usual sweets such as nougats, Polvorones or all kinds of desserts. The meals are also usually more filling. This is when we become concerned about health problems such as cholesterol or excess blood sugar.
Regarding the latter, some resort to tricks from the popular beliefs but they have no scientific evidence. One case is drink a shot of vinegar before meals to reduce it. Some even claim that you can even lose weight.
Boticaria García tells if taking a shot of vinegar helps lower blood sugar
«Vinegar can reduce glucose, but the key is in other things»says Boticaria García on this issue. The scientific communicator points out that healthy people “without problems digesting complex carbohydrates” can avoid taking that shot of vinegar.
As he explains, it is the body that “is going to take care of regulating glucose levels on its own.” In the case of the people with diabetesBoticaria warns that this is a trick with “limited effectiveness.”
In fact, he emphasizes that what they can achieve «divert the focus from the tools that are necessary to avoid blood sugar spikes». These other tools, he pointed out, are following a diet rich in fiber, increasing protein consumption, limiting simple sugars, exercising and following the treatments proposed by the doctor.
«If you are a person with diabetes, it can divert the focus from tools that are necessary to avoid sugar spikes»
With these tips, Boticaria García has dismantled myths that exist around this issue and that, in reality, they do not really help lower blood sugar nor can they replace medical treatments or suppress a healthier lifestyle.
