Apple Cider Vinegar- one of the most searched health topics among the years, has been used both medicinally and for health benefits for centuries. Now you may ask, what’s so fascinating about this kind of vinegar? Apple Cider Vinegar is formulated from apples that have been crushed, distilled, and fermented.
It has been used worldwide as a natural remedy for its presumed healing properties. Apart from its health benefits, it also induces satiety resulting in weight loss, and helps maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Let’s take a look at some amazing benefits ACV provides:
- Improves digestion because of its natural laxative property.
- It contains Acetic Acid that kills pathogens, including bacteria.
- ACV is known to improve insulin sensitivity and helps lower blood sugar response after meals.
- May help reduce weight if consumed in a moderate amount. Studies suggest it increases the feeling of fullness, leading to less snacking or carb-intake, thus helping in weight loss.
- Provides probiotics without the risk of additional inflammation.
- Lowers Cholesterol and improves overall heart health.
- Has anti-aging properties.
- Also improves hair health by retaining moisture and treating dandruff.
Dosage and Side Effects
Incorporate Apple Cider Vinegar in your daily diet by diluting 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 ml) to 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) in a large glass of water.
You can also use it in cooking or add in salad dressings.
It’s advised to start with small doses as too much consumption can damage tooth enamel and lower your potassium levels, cause digestive problems, and skin burn as well. Consider taking recommendations from your health care provider before starting any ACV diet, if necessary.
