Lemons Control Blood Sugar Levels

[Guest guest]

I have been reading a book by Dr Datis Kharrazian in which he says that if

one feels sleepy after eating, that it usually means the person is insulin

resistant. For me, drinking lemon juice before my meal makes a

difference.

**How to Control Blood Sugar Levels with Lemon Juice!**

Compelling evidence suggests that adding a little lemon juice (red wine or

vinegar can work as well) to your side order of salad can significantly

reduce the blood sugar spike caused by your main course meal!

Studies show that as little as 4 teaspoons of lemon juice in a salad taken

with an average meal (example, chicken and rice) lowered blood sugar

levels by as much as 30 percent! The effects appear to be related to the

acidity

because other organic acids (such as lactic acid) also have a blood sugar

lowering effect. For years now we have known that acidity in food can

dramatically alter the natural rate of stomach emptying, resulting in a slower

delivery of food to the small intestine. Digestion of the carbohydrate in

the food is therefore slowed and the final result is that blood sugar levels

are significantly lower.

So the next time you are eating out or sitting down with your family for a

nice supper, add a side order of salad with lemon juice sprinkled on top!

Bee's note: Or have the electrolyte drink with your meals (juice of 1/2

lemon and 1/4 teaspoon of ocean sea salt in 6 ounces of warm filtered water),

and also drink it between meals.
