At some point growing up, you must have been told that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a type of vinegar made with crushed fermented apples, yeast, and sugar. It is used as an ingredient in foods such as salad dressings, pickles and marinades. Vinegars are an excellent source of potassium, magnesium, calcium & phosphorus. The amount of Apple Cider in daily serving is (247 mg) which is equivalent to 5 ml of Apple Cider Liquid. ACV is effective because of its content of acetic acid which can be a gastric irritant as far as available literature on this ingredient is concerned; it appears that a relatively small dosage of ACV is sufficient to obtain the desired result without compromising safety.
ACV seems to have properties that could potentially support your weight-loss efforts. A 2013 study from the Journal of Functional Foods suggests that drinking apple cider vinegar before eating is linked to smaller blood sugar spikes. Another 2010 study from the Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism shows that having two teaspoons of ACV during meal time could help reduce sugar crashes and keep blood sugar levels stabilized. Why this happens is not totally clear, but nutrition researchers like Carol Johnston Ph.D., who has studied ACV at Arizona State University for years, suspects that compounds in the vinegar interfere with the absorption of some starches. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2013.08.003
Apart from the use of ACV in regulating blood sugar, inhibiting abrupt rise of blood sugar after meals & supporting healthy metabolism, it may lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, ease acid reflux, provide eczema relief, kill germs and improve hair health.
