Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar you never knew
Unfiltered, undiluted Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother has some very beneficial properties which will positively impact your health.
Apple cider vinegar must be diluted in water (one spoon to a cup of water) before consumption to protect your teeth from its acidic nature. It is also possible to drink it with a straw.
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) increases the acidic content in your stomach which will not only benefit digestion, will also help the body extract nutrients from the food more efficiently.
ACV can boost your energy and it helps to curb your hunger when you start Keto Diet or intermittent fasting. It can help you with your exercise by providing a boost in energy level.
Taking ACV before a meal will help greatly if you have acid reflux, heartburn, indigestion or bloating. If you have heartburn and acid reflux the most common prescription is an antacid which actually serves to make the condition worse. To understand, realise that the PH inside your stomach is supposed to be between 1-3 which is highly acidic. It is normal because this is the ph required for digestion of food. And the valve between your oesophagus and the stomach shuts down tightly when it senses that the acid is the correct PH. The valve will not close if the PH in your stomach is higher (more alkaline) and this is where the problem starts. When the valve remains open, the food rises to the oesophagus and creates heartburn. The indigestion causes bloating and gas. The acetic acid in ACV will increase the acid in your stomach triggering the valve to close and correct the problem.
Antacids have some serious side effects when taken long enough like increased chances of allergies and cancer.
Adding ACV and Olive Oil to salads will increase nutrient absorption.
ACV can help with the regulation of blood sugars thus helping insulin resistance and diabetes control.
ACV has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties benefiting the skin by killing bacteria and maintaining its PH balance.
ACV can help in detoxification. It has a positive effect on gut health.
By far, the most important benefit is its energy boosting property. It is possible to feel this boost by taking ACV before a workout.
Moderation however is key. Do not go overboard and take too much. Consult your healthcare provider if you have underlying issues like diabetes.
