This Holiday Season Avoid Blood Sugar Spikes w/ Vinegar

This post was originally published as Avoid Blood Sugar Spikes w/ Vinegar by Laurel on Health Food blog.

Hi there friends! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. I had a nice vacation away from the computer and got to catch up with lots of family and friends. I’m currently working on updating my blog, website, and newsletter to have a new color scheme and logo, so look out for that soon! It will be a fresh new look to start the holidays and new year off right.  

I was checking out some of the latest health news today, and I stumbled on some research about vinegar and blood sugar. Apparently, multiple studies have concluded that eating a little vinegar with a carb-heavy meal can help reduce your blood sugar levels. Vinegar works by blocking enzymes in the digestion process that convert the carbs you eat into sugars.

Here’s the links to the research if you want to check it out:


If you’re diabetic or if you’re just concerned about your blood sugar levels, vinegar might be a great thing to try adding to your next meal. You can make an easy salad dressing or sauce for your vegetables by mixing olive oil and vinegar and your favorite spices. Or, try drizzling a little vinegar on a sandwich.
