Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been gaining popularity as people incorporate more natural substances into their daily routines. It has many potential health benefits, including some not commonly known. Here are six surprising health benefits of apple cider vinegar that you may not have considered before.
- Improve digestion
Apple cider vinegar is loaded with enzymes that aid in digestion. While you can take digestive enzymes as a supplement, drinking apple cider vinegar may offer similar benefits for less money. Try adding a tablespoon to your water bottle each morning and see if you notice any difference in your digestion throughout the day.
- Prevent disease
According to research from Japan’s Tokyo University research, taking two tablespoons each day could help ward off a wide range of diseases, including osteoporosis, diabetes, and cancer. This is due to vinegar’s ability to control blood sugar levels.
- Improve heart health
Ever heard that apple cider vinegar is good for your heart? Several studies have shown that a tablespoon or two of ACV each day may reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels, even in people with pre-hypertension and high cholesterol. The best part is that you won’t experience any side effects—and ACV tastes excellent!
- Achieve a healthy weight
While it’s a popular ingredient in weight-loss supplements, many people choose to take ACV straight because it provides all of its wonderful benefits without any extra calories or artificial sweeteners. This works by helping your body burn fat more efficiently and keeping your hunger at bay between meals. Studies have even shown that people who consume ACV regularly tend to weigh less than those who don’t take it regularly.
- Improve skin and reduce acne
The health benefits of apple cider vinegar don’t end there. Apple cider vinegar can also help improve skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis—it also may even reduce allergic reactions! That’s because apple cider vinegar is high in alpha-hydroxy acids, which can be used to exfoliate your skin and unclog pores.
- Better hair, skin, and nails!
The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar is a natural beautifier. It adds shine to hair and helps fight off dandruff. It works as a gentle, chemical-free exfoliant and can be used to improve nail health. Just dilute your apple cider vinegar with water before applying it to your face or body.
