Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is one of the popular home remedies for many health-related problems. Most people use it in cooking and medicine.

 Many people say that ACV can cure many health problems because you might be wondering what the scientists and doctors say. 

 ACV comes loaded with many apple cider vinegar benefits, including anti-microbial and anti-oxidant features.  

According to studies, ACV can help to 

  •         reduce weight 
  •         reduce cholesterol
  •         lower blood sugar levels
  •         improve the symptoms of diabetes

 Less research is done on its healthful properties, and further studies may give final confirmation and make it an alternative therapy. In the meanwhile, let us look at some of the benefits of ACV:  

 APPLE CIDER VINEGAR BENEFITS

 This page highlights multiple health benefits of ACV:

 

Made from healthy substances

Apple cider vinegar is made following a two-step process. 

 In the first process, manufacturers expose crushed apples to yeast for fermentation. This process ferments the sugars and makes them alcohol.

Then, a healthy bacterium is added for further fermentation of the alcohol to turn it into an acetic acid, the main active compound in ACV.

 This process of forming Acetic acid gives Vinegar its strong sour smell and spicy flavor. Research suggests that this acid fermentation helps add multiple health-related benefits to ACV. Cider vinegar is generally 5–6% acetic acid. 

 Organic, pure, and unadulterated ACV contains an active component called live mother, which has thin strands of proteins, enzymes, and good bacteria to add a murky appearance to the final product. 

 Some people suggest that this live mother component is responsible for various health benefits, but no research has proven this statement. 

 

ACV helps to kill the harmful bacteria

ACV has the potential to kill harmful bacteria or pathogens. Most people in traditional times used Vinegar to clean and disinfect surfaces and treat fungus, lice, warts, and ear infections. Even many people believe that Vinegar cleaned wounds more than 2,000 years ago. 

 Vinegar acts as a good preservative. It does not allow the formation of bacteria like E. coli (responsible for spoiling the food)

 So, if you want to preserve your food for a long time, start using Vinegar from today. 

 

Can lower blood sugar levels and improve the symptoms of diabetes

Vinegar can help to treat type 2 diabetes.

 In Type 2 diabetes, patients get high blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance. 

 People without diabetes can also take ACV to maintain their blood sugar levels. High blood sugar level is one of the primary reasons for aging.  

  • Vinegar may improve insulin sensitivity by 19–34% if you take a high carb meal and reduce blood sugar and reaction to insulin. 
  • In a study done on a few people, it was found that Vinegar reduced blood sugar by 31.4% when they were given 50 grams of white bread 

In a study that involved a few people, it was found that 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bedtime can reduce fasting blood sugar by 4% the following day. 

 If you’re taking any medication for blood sugar levels, consult your doctor before taking any Vinegar.  

Vinegar may help to reduce weight.

Many studies have proven that Vinegar can reduce weight. 

Several human studies have proven that people feel full or not hungry when consuming Vinegar. This helps them to eat less or reduce calorie intake. 

 According to a study, taking Vinegar with a high-carb meal will make you feel full and encourage you to eat 200–275 fewer calories throughout the rest of the day. 

 In a study that involved a few people, it was found that:

  •         taking 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of Vinegar reduced almost 2.6 pounds (1.2 kg) of weight 
  •         taking 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of Vinegar reduced almost 3.7 pounds (1.7 kg) of weight

 This study continued for 3 months, so the results seem to be genuine. 

 You need to understand that simply adding or removing any food from your diet will not help to bring a change in your body weight. Weight loss is a long-term journey that can be taken by adopting a healthy lifestyle. 

Overall, ACV may help reduce weight by promoting a sense of fulness, lowering blood sugar, and reducing insulin levels.
