1. Controls the glycemic response to sugar in the blood stream.
When we eat, food is converted to sugar that is then absorbed by the body. The higher the sugar spike, the more fat the body tends to store. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) before a meal helps control that sugar spike.
2. The acetic acid in the vinegar helps break down food in your stomach faster.
This is especially crucial if you're a heavy meat eater like I was on the Keto Diet. Your stomach already produces acid to dissolve food but ACV helps even more.
3. The acid in the ACV makes your feel full therefore suppressing appetite.
Who knew you didn't have to spend $59.99 on diet pills to increase satiety. A cheap bottle of ACV can do the trick. It may even stop your junk food cravings.
4. ACV helps control insulin which reduces sugar spikes.
Lower insulin levels is a good thing and it's a life hack every health concious person or diabetic should know about. Its almost like having your cake and eating it too. If you are going to eat bread, have a diluted shot of ACV to control the insulin spike. Although it would be better to do without the bread.
5. Speaking of diabetes, ACV can help reverse type two diabetes.
Simply control how much you eat while reducing your blood glucose levels with ACV and watch the pounds fly off the scale. Of course, you will get better results with a healthy diet and exercise. Think of ACV as a boost to reach your health and fitness goals.
6. Fat is the culprit and ACV helps you burn it off.
Placebo-controlled studies have proven consistent ACV consumption reduce one's body fat by breaking down the fat. The study concluded adding a couple tablespoons of ACV to your diet can reduce your BMI by reducing blood triglycerides.
7. ACV speeds up metabolism.
While ACV won't give you the metabolism of a crack head, consuming it may increase the availability of fat burning enzyme.
Closing Thoughts
Consumption of ACV is not an excuse to eat whatever you want as much as you want if you are on a weight loss journey as I am. However, a shot or two is not a bad idea, especially on cheat days. Be sure to dilute it with water and as always consult your doctor or bro-science resident expert.
