apple cider vinegar is a powerful tool that can improve many aspects of your health
but it's important to know the truth behind the benefits it really offers
and how you can use it for best results
apple cider vinegar has been used in cooking and in natural medicine for thousands of years it's
all natural and it simply comes from fermenting apples now when you hear of all the benefits of
apple cider vinegar you might think to yourself it must be loaded with nutrient-rich compounds
but the fact is there's hardly any vitamins and minerals at all in apple cider vinegar so it begs
the question how in the world could it actually be beneficial now what apple cider vinegar does
have in it is small amounts of potassium but most of its benefits come from its high acetic
acid content the other components in apple cider vinegar that are highly beneficial come from the
fermentation process where you're going to get both enzymes and probiotics apple cider vinegar
as simple as it is has amazing benefits that may be the missing link to improving your health the
first benefit of apple cider vinegar is a very important one and everyone can benefit from this
and i know this wholeheartedly because the numbers don't lie beyond all the people who are type 2
diabetics it's estimated over 100 million people are walking around pre-diabetic with high blood
sugar and they don't even know it apple cider vinegar has been shown to significantly reduce
your blood sugar there was one study that showed that apple cider vinegar dropped
your blood sugar as much as 34 percent after eating a meal and why is this so important driving
down blood sugar ultimately lowers insulin which we know is really important for good health when
insulin is chronically high it leads to problems like obesity but also many comorbidities like high
blood pressure or even type 2 diabetes drinking apple cider vinegar before or after a meal is
a great way to lower your blood sugar now that we talked about lowering your blood sugar let's talk
about another huge benefit of apple cider vinegar and that is weight loss now you'll find stories
all over the internet of somebody who drank some apple cider vinegar and they lost 30 pounds in 30
days now these stories are overwhelmingly false however there are two ways that apple cider
vinegar can in fact help you lose weight just not that fast one way that the research shows
apple cider vinegar supports weight loss is by causing you to eat less there was a study that
showed that when using apple cider vinegar people on average would consume around 275 calories less
per day now that's one way but there's another way that kind of circles back to our blood sugar
conversation that we just had apple cider vinegar is going to lower your blood sugar ultimately
driving down insulin which is a fat storage hormone when you push insulin down and suppress it
what ultimately happens is it unlocks your ability to burn fat for energy the best time to drink
apple cider vinegar for weight loss is going to be before your meal this is going to help you feel
more satiated so that you eat fewer calories while eating but also it will help lower your blood
sugar both which will support weight loss now here are two bottles of apple cider vinegar i just
pulled from the cupboard when buying apple cider vinegar you always want to make sure it's organic
the reason for that is because apples are covered with pesticides and you do not want to be drinking
those chemical toxins the other thing you want to look for when buying apple cider vinegar is that
it's raw unfiltered and contains the mother the mother is going to be rich with the enzymes and
the probiotics and it's going to be that stringy kind of gross looking stuff you see at the bottom
of it kind of freaks a lot of people out let me know in the comments below if it grosses you
out a little bit the fact is it's completely safe for human consumption this particular apple cider
vinegar is a generic store brand and it checks all the boxes so it's one that you can completely use
and it's healthy now this apple cider vinegar over here is kind of my go-to and one that most people
use and you can see i've been using it because it's almost gone now apple cider vinegar has
amazing health benefits and it will certainly benefit your health as well this next benefit
of apple cider vinegar has always been a huge one for me and my patients and that's improving your
gut health apple cider vinegar has been shown to reduce acid reflux bloating gas excessive burping
yeast overgrowth and also bacterial overgrowth apple cider vinegar will also support your
digestion helping you break down your food a lot better the reason that apple cider vinegar
works so well for your gut health is because it helps rebalance your gut ph and when you have an
imbalance in the ph in your gut well not only do all those symptoms arise but it can be wildly
uncomfortable the best method for drinking apple cider vinegar to improve your gut health is to
drink it on an empty stomach or before a meal this essentially creates for an overall healthier gut
environment and does not allow opportunistic bacteria and fungus to thrive now the other
amazing benefit of apple cider vinegar that we just can't ignore is how it can improve your heart
health it's been shown to lower triglycerides lower ldls and also lower your overall cholesterol
as we look at apple cider vinegar it's been shown to decrease your blood sugar reduce insulin
resistance and also supports weight loss which all support improving your overall cardiovascular
health so there's no doubt that apple cider vinegar can be used as a easy at-home technique to
improve your heart health it's important to take into consideration that heart disease and type
2 diabetes are the main reasons that people die prematurely so this is why i said from the very
beginning of this video i know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can benefit from the amazing
health benefits of apple cider vinegar another amazing benefit of apple cider vinegar that i
think you'll be really happy to hear about is it's going to help give you nice clear glowing skin
what it's been found to do is help reduce eczema acne and even psoriasis the reason it
works so well for this is because it's a powerful antimicrobial you can take apple cider vinegar and
you can put it on your skin topically or you can take it orally and the reason that it works so
well for your skin when you consume it orally is simply because it helps improve your gut health
where most really bad skin conditions manifest from so personally i've seen it work better when
you drink apple cider vinegar versus using it topically but you can use either one and see
which one works better for you now you're probably wondering how much apple cider vinegar do i have
to drink in order to get these amazing results well according to the research the best practices
are going to be one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar one to three times per day the next
question you're probably asking yourself is when do i drink apple cider vinegar for best results
now me personally i like drinking it before a meal but other times you can drink apple cider
vinegar for great results are on a fasted stomach so if you're intermittent fasting
you could sip on it throughout the fasting period the other times are after a meal and also before
bed to help lower your blood sugar throughout the night if you're somebody who's drinking
apple cider vinegar often in order to help lower your blood sugar or overcome a health
condition make sure that you drink it through a straw because over time it can really start
to wear down on your teeth and make your teeth very sensitive due to the high acid content but
what about using apple cider vinegar gummies i know these are so popular right now and there's
a lot of slick marketing out there but the fact is there's not a single one of them i would endorse
they're loaded with sugar and they also have a very low content of apple cider vinegar within
them essentially it is candy there are only two ways that i use apple cider vinegar in the liquid
form in which i showed you and also in supplement form now i'll put a link in the description to the
supplement form that i do endorse because most of those are also scammy as well and they're
not even derived from apple cider vinegar whenever using the apple cider vinegar liquid
it's very important to make sure that you're diluting it with water if you'd like to improve
the taste of it you could add in some flavored stevia a little bit of cinnamon and it'll make it
go down a whole lot easier as always i'm dr nick zyrowski and it's been a pleasure educating you
on how to take control of your health naturally i highly recommend you watch this video next
