10 Health Uses for Apple Cider Vinegar Using ACV is not a doctor approved method for being healthy, and sort of an old wives tale to be honest. That said the anecdotal evidence is pretty overwhelming and I can also vouch for the fact that I feel better in myself and my hair and skin is much better after just 2 months of taking it daily. Vinegar is known to have a beneficial effect on the body’s blood sugar levels and is also anti-glycemic. It is believed that the acetic acid contained in vinegar might lower blood sugar through preventing complex carbohydrates from being completely digested, which is either accomplished through the bodily tissues increasing their glucose uptake or through accelerating gastric emptying. Diabetes According to one theory, vinegar may inactivate some digestive enzymes which break carbohydrates down into sugar, which slows complex carbohydrates being converted into sugar into your bloodstream following a meal. That provides more time to your body to pull sugar from your blood, which prevents the spiking of your sugar levels. A great deal of research also supports vinegar being used as a form of diabetic treatment. According to one study vinegar treatment resulted in improved insulin sensitivity for 19% of people with type 2 diabetes as well as 34 percent of individuals with pre-diabetes. Another study found that when two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar was taken before going to bed it lowered blood sugar levels by as much as 6 percent by the next morning in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Heart Health Heart health is supported by vinegar in several ways. The Journal of Food Science explains that polyphenols like chlorogenic acid, which apple cider vinegar has high levels of, may inhibit oxidation of LDLS and make improvements to health through the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. It was shown by one study that in laboratory rats vinegar can lower cholesterol. Another study with rats found that the acetic acid contained in vinegar could lower blood pressure. In animal studies it has also been found that vinegar decreases VDL levels (damaging type of cholesterol) and triglyceride levels. Weight Loss Vinegar might also help with losing weight. It appear that it has an anti-obesity effect through increasing satiety, which reduces how much food you consume. For example, when a small dose of vinegar was consumed by volunteers with a high-carb meal (juice and a bagel) they ate less food during the rest of the day. This reduction equaled around 200-275 calories per day. This amount was enough to lose around 1.5 pounds in a month. Other research also found that taking vinegar with bread lowered insulin and glucose responses and also increased satiety levels. 5/12
