Vinegar Shots and Cold Water Washes Trending... Do They Really Lower Blood Sugar?

Trends like "vinegar shots" and cold water face washing are circulating on social media with claims that they can lower blood sugar.

Is it okay to try them as they are? We will explain.

Professor Kim Chul-sik of Yongin Severance Hospital advised that reducing refined sugars and sweet beverages while maintaining regular exercise and dietary habits are the core of blood sugar management.
