Simple Health Cures

   Do you have diabetes or have been told that you may be pre-diabetic? Well dust that bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar standing on the kitchen shelf and take a swig of it before your meal. I know it does not taste good at all, but believe me it is good for you!!!

   Dr Carol S. Johnston is studing how a little vinegar before meals may actually help diabetics and those with pre-diabetic symptoms manage insulin sensitivity. She is a scientist at the Department of Nutrition at Arizona State University and is studying the way nature agents help help control spikes in insulin and blood glucose after you eat a meal.

   A 2001 Swedish Study showed that blood sugar spikes were controlled when pickles were eaten after a high carb breakfast. Eventually vinegar was shown to be the active agant which helped to control blood glucose spikes.

   Now Dr Carol is looking at a new study which seems to suggest that having some vinegar with your meal may help out down the spike you get after eating meals as a diabetic person. The study is still far from definitive, but you can always try out the effects of adding a sip or two of vinegar to your diet.
