4. Sage Tea
Lowers liver glucose output and improves insulin signaling. Steep 1 tsp dried sage 5–7 minutes. Slightly peppery, surprisingly effective.
3. Garlic-Lemon Tea (yes, really)
Allicin + vitamin C improve insulin sensitivity and circulation. Crush 1 clove, steep in hot water with lemon 10 minutes. Morning ritual of champions.
2. Chamomile Tea (evening)
Cuts cortisol → prevents nighttime glucose dumps. One strong cup 2 hours before bed can lower morning readings 15–25 points.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar Water – The Undisputed King
The drink that beats every other natural option in head-to-head trials.
