Micronutrients & recovery
Polyphenol-rich functional foods (green tea, yerba mate, coffee) improve insulin sensitivity, reduce oxidative stress, and lower fasting glucose.
Incorporate polyphenol-rich beverages like green tea and yerba mate into your daily routine. Clinical trials show these can significantly lower fasting glucose and improve antioxidant capacity.
