Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar

Updated: Apr 22, 2020

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is extremely good for you when drinking or eating it. ACV is a special type of vinegar that has an amber color. It is often used for natural home cleaning products, but it has a lot of excellent health benefits as well. Here are some things to know about ACV, some ways to use it and what to add to your Apple Cider Vinegar drinks.

Apple cider vinegar is one of those miracle foods that when used properly can improve your health over time. In the past, apple cider vinegar was used as a primary ingredient for many health tonics, home remedies and even as a cleaner. This versatile acidic liquid can be found in the grocery store and is somewhat inexpensive.


Sharing this information with you is very important for me as I have personally found great benefits using ACV. You’re probably wondering what it can do for you. As you read this, you will discover some of the amazing health benefits of apple cider vinegar.


Helps to Control Candida Yeast

One of the most common problems among people who suffer from symptoms like bad breath and difficulty digesting food is that they could overabundance of candida yeast and not even know it. Ingesting apple cider vinegar kills candida yeast and helps your body to promote a more well-balanced population of gut flora.


Many people who suffer from this will think that they have celiac disease, so this could remedy a host of issues. It is highly recommended that if you have an issue with candida that you cut back on sugar intake for a few days while you drink a cup of water with apple cider vinegar at least once a day. This will also reduce bowel inflammation.


Helps with Weight Loss and Insulin Levels

With all the fad diets, and meal plans that are currently dominating the health landscape, it can be hard to know what you can do to achieve your health goals. There are ways to help yourself to lose weight that are surprisingly simple, such as ACV.


In recent studies, scientists were able to prove that apple cider vinegar can lower the levels of insulin in the body. This is a good thing for weight loss because insulin levels have a lot to do with losing weight. When insulin spikes, it can trigger fat storage signals which will result in immediate weight gain. Drinking a cup of water with a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar every day, will help to keep your system operating at its most efficient point for fat burning.


Apple Cider Vinegar can help to keep your insulin from spiking, and raise the presence of a hormone called glucagon that sends messages to the body that it should release fat to be burned for energy.


This is an important find that can help people to become healthier and even prevent type 2 diabetes.


Great for Skin

Apple cider vinegar contains acids that promote circulation and dissolve residues found on the surface of the skin. If you were to dilute a small amount of apple cider vinegar and dip a cotton ball into it, you could dab it onto your face to help promote healing action and gain a more youthful appearance over time. It is also highly anti-inflammatory, so you can use it to treat bites and bruises as well.



It Can Lower Your Blood Sugar

Studies have shown that apple cider vinegar can help to control and regulate your blood sugar and keep it at a more efficient range for fat burning. Blood sugar spikes are the primary cause of organ damage and other complications that are diabetes related.

A person with diabetes could benefit greatly from being able to avoid an organ damaging blood sugar spike. For the best results, fill a cup and add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Drink the water 10 - 30 minutes before you eat.


If you do this every day, you will keep your body in a healthier blood sugar range and will likely lose weight over time.
