Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar

Helps you in managing blood sugar

All of us are aware that food rich in starch such as Pasta, Rice, Bread, etc. leads to an increase in the sugar levels of our body. Consuming Apple Cider Vinegar could reduce the amount of sugar that would have increased otherwise because Apple Cider Vinegar contains acetic acid which may block enzymes that help you in digesting starch. You can add ACV to your diet in the form of salad dressing, sauces, marinades, etc. Since ACV is highly acetic, consumption in large amounts can harm your teeth, throat, and stomach. Moderation is the key.

Those who are already on diabetes medication are advised to consult their doctor before consuming it.

Food Preservative

Apple Cider Vinegar can be used as a food preservative because it has antimicrobial properties due to which conventionally people used it as a cleaner and food preservative. It helps to hinder the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Escherichia coli.

Sore Throat

Apple cider vinegar is used to treat sore throat by a lot of people but not everyone knows that it can do more harm than good if not taken in the proper ratio because of its acetic content so you should always make sure that you’re mixing the optimum amount of water, ACV, and other ingredients.

Body Odor

Nobody likes to have body odor and it’s definitely not impossible to prevent it. Apple Cider Vinegar helps in balancing the skin’s pH level and fights bacteria which causes body odor. Don't worry about the vinegar smell as it usually goes away as vinegar starts drying.

You can mix Apple Cider Vinegar with water and apply it with the help of a cotton ball to the affected area.

Dandruff

The acetic acid in Apple Cider VInegar may change the pH level of the scalp which makes it tough for the yeast to survive. It can also be used to treat a skin condition known as seborrheic dermatitis.

Weight Management

Although there is not much evidence when it comes to weight management through consumption of Apple Cider Vinegar, it has been believed that it helps in reducing appetite because of its satiating effect which eventually helps us in losing weight.
