Tips for Success & Diabetes Prevention
To keep this heart-healthy and stabilise blood sugar:
- Choose Whole Grains: Use high-fibre rye or sprouted grain crackers to prevent insulin spikes.
- The Cucumber Hack: Swap crackers for thick cucumber slices to lower the glycemic load significantly.
- Watch the Salt: Rinse your capers under cold water to remove excess sodium, which helps manage blood pressure.
- Healthy Fats: The Omega-3s in salmon improve insulin sensitivity, making this a "smart" meal for metabolic health.
