Health tip from Poliquin Lifestyle
"Start every meal with a green salad or steamed cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, then add balsamic or apple cider vinegar. By eating vinegar with your vegetables at the beginning of your meal, it will lower the insulin response to everything you eat, leading to a more moderate elevation in blood sugar. Also by eating veggies first, you will likely eat less of other, more calorie dense foods."
