Apple cider vinegar has been used as a natural remedy for centuries. It is currently touted to prevent blood sugar spikes, lose weight, and “detoxify” the body. It is unclear if there is a particular time of day when vinegar might be best consumed and how much per day is ideal.
Apple cider vinegar is made from crushed, distilled and then fermented apples . According to Harvard Health, its high levels of acetic acid and perhaps other compounds may be responsible for its supposed health benefits.
On blood sugar control, there are several small studies in which the effects of apple cider vinegar are evaluated and the results are mixed.
Harvard notes that a number of studies suggest that vinegar may prevent blood sugar spikes in people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes by blocking the absorption of starch. But people with diabetes should be especially careful with high consumption of vinegar since vinegar can alter insulin levels.
In one of 2004 shared by the American Diabetes Association found that taking 20 grams (20 ml) of apple cider vinegar diluted in 35 ml of water and with 1 teaspoon of saccharin (sweetener), and after a delay of two minutes, food, it could reduce blood sugar after meals.
Some studies suggest that consuming vinegar with meals can increase the feeling of satiety. This can lead to eating fewer calories and losing weight. However, the effects would be modest and not short-term.
According to Healthline, apple cider vinegar organic, unfiltered, raw apple is usually the best choice. It will be higher in beneficial bacteria.
Due to its high acidity, drinking too much apple cider vinegar can have negative effects such as damaging teeth, sore throat, and upset stomach.
Vinegar, 1 to 2 tablespoons, should be diluted in water to avoid irritation of the stomach, throat and damage to the teeth.
To lose weight adding apple cider vinegar to the diet may not be enough. Although you can try it in moderation because it has no calories. Following healthy eating habits with lower calorie intake can lead to gradual and successful weight loss.
“Focus on limiting unhealthy carbohydrates and excess calories. Research has shown that reducing carbohydrates, especially sugar and refined starches, causes the body to burn more fat for energy”, shares Harvard Health.
