Super Foods to Improve Blood Sugar Levels and Lower Endo Inflammation

So last week I shared my number one strategy for ensuring your meals are blood sugar balancing.Today, I want to provide you with some key blood sugar super foods that can really help you on your way to balancing your levels in the short term and in the long term, which in turn, will improve your inflammation and oxidation levels - essential for endo management.Now, obviously, we’ve already discussed the role of fibre from veggies, protein and healthy fats, and I shared how each of these slow down the release of glucose from foods, so you know the importance of these key foods groups.But today, I want to give you some specific foods, that have been shown in the studies to give our blood sugar efforts a little (well actually, pretty big) boost.
