If you want to be a good fat burner, you’ve got to keep your blood sugar stable and you’ve got to keep your insulin levels balanced.  Research shows that if you take one to two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with a meal, it lowers the glycemic impact of the meal (the blood sugar elevation) by up to 40% and it lowers the amount of insulin your body produces. This means you feel better as you have more energy after your meal and you can burn fat more effectively.  Paleovalley's Apple Cider Vinegar Complex is a great way to take apple cider vinegar without the nasty vinegar taste in your mouth. It has the recommended dosage of 1000mgs of ACV and added turmeric, ginger, lemon, and cinnamon – all enhancing digestive juice production so you can digest your meal more effectively and bring down inflammation in your body.  Enjoy Paleovalley’s Apple Cider Vinegar Complex when you visit paleovalley.com/jockers and say hello to increased energy and stable blood sugar   “A healthy gut is necessary for a healthy immune system as most of the immune system cells are located in the gut." - Dr. Eric Osansky   Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean  TuneIn Radio   Resources: Visit https://shopc60.com/jockers - Use code “JOCKERS” to get 15% off!
