hey there lease me here with a sweet pea
chef welcome back today I want to talk
to you about apple cider vinegar I want
to talk about does it deserve all the
hype it gets does it cure weight loss
and diabetes and cancer and all that
kind of stuff boiler alert apple cider
vinegar is pretty amazing it has a bunch
of scientific research behind it to show
that it has a lot of value and we're
gonna dive into several of those
valuable things that apple cider vinegar
can bring to your life if you start to
incorporate it so let's get started
Oh before I forget make sure you are
subscribe to this channel so you don't
miss my weekly videos on recipes on
clean eating on health and wellness and
all sorts of good stuff and make sure to
ring that bell so you get notified of my
new video releases anytime I release a
video all right so what the heck is
apple cider vinegar right have you ever
wondered what it actually is well it's
made from Apple's duh but it's actually
something that is made from fermented
apple juice so the way that it's made is
you have apples and then you crush them
and expose that to yeast and then the
natural sugars from the apple they start
to ferment and that turns into alcohol
really similar to how you would have
wine be created but then it's actually
fermented again and that turns the
alcohols into what we now have as apple
cider vinegar I know pretty cool right
[Music]
let's go over the major assumptions
about apple cider vinegar and what
people say that it does apple cider
vinegar helps with digestion it lowers
blood sugar levels it improves insulin
sensitivity it helps you lose weight it
increases your feelings of say shitty
meaning feeling full it reduces belly
fat it lowers cholesterol it lowers
blood pressure it helps with general
heart health and it slows the growth of
cancer cells okay so those are some
really big and powerful health benefits
and the truth is is that apple cider
vinegar is a really big nutritional
powerhouse it does help with all those
things I just mentioned and I'm gonna
dive into why it does that and how it
does it and how you can use it to your
benefit
[Music]

many studies have been done on the
effects of weight loss by using apple
cider vinegar and the results show that
it does in fact help reduce weight loss
even if all you do is incorporate some
apple cider vinegar into your diet with
no other dietary changes studies have
found that it does have a positive
effect on weight loss how does it do it
so first off if you drink apple cider
vinegar diluted in water it will make
you feel full so that allows you to not
feel hungry all the time which allows
you to not eat which allows you to lower
your total calories which is gonna help
with weight loss
in fact it contains no calories so you
can actually have it while fasting so
while you're doing like intermittent
fasting during your fasting window you
would actually be able to have water
mixed with some apple cider vinegar have
that helped you feel full and then
continue your fast which is a really
powerful thing for insulin production
which we will talk about in a second
so speaking of insulin apple cider
vinegar is really helpful for reducing
your overall blood sugar levels and your
blood insulin sensitivities and why
that's helpful is because having less
insulin being produced and secreted
means you're gonna have less fat stored
which means less weight gain another
health benefit of apple cider vinegar is
that it can actually help reduce your
blood pressure how does it do this it
helps control the hormone Reena which is
produced from your kidneys and that is
responsible for helping to restrict and
constrict your blood vessels so by
helping to control that it helps to have
normal blood pressure studies have shown
that consuming apple cider vinegar helps
reduce your bad cholesterol also known
as LDL and increases your good
cholesterol also known as HDL so studies
have shown that actually improves your
cholesterol in the good way and
decreases it in another good way
[Music]
regarding digestion apple cider vinegar
helps in a number of ways it can help
reduce heartburn it can help with
bloating and inflammation it can help
keep you regular so basically when you
consume food you have that food in your
stomach and proper digestion requires
certain levels of acid to break down
that and get all those enzymes going so
you can start to absorb your food and
then start to pass it so if you don't
have the normal acid levels what's gonna
happen is that's gonna stop up and
you're gonna get bloated you're gonna
get heartburn it's gonna be
uncomfortable sound familiar
so what apple cider vinegar does is it
actually helps improve the acid levels
in your stomach so that you can actually
help with digestion get everything going
more smoothly and then move everything
along like it's supposed to be some
recent research has suggested also that
apple cider vinegar has helped to reduce
the growth of cancer cells so while it
will not replace treatment there is some
interesting research out there saying
that there's a chance that it could
actually reduce some cancer cells if
you're gonna be drinking it it's
recommended to dilute it in water so
you're gonna want to have a full glass
of water and add one to two tablespoons
of apple cider vinegar into the water
you're probably gonna want to start with
one tablespoon to get started because it
does have a bite to it it is an acid so
it's gonna taste strong personally
because I like the bite and I've also
become very used to it I add two
tablespoons into about 20 ounces of
water and I have that particularly
during my fasting periods you want to be
careful when you are having apple cider
vinegar all the time I suggest using a
straw to drink through because it can
have an effect on your enamel on your
teeth so you don't want to be breaking
that down by just putting acid on it all
the time consider how would be if you
just drank straight lemon juice all day
right another way to add more apple
cider vinegar into your diet is to use
it in salad dressings and just kind of
add it to your foods it works great as
an ingredient in fact I have a salad
dressings video that has a few recipes
in there that has some apple cider
vinegar in them
that are really tasty it's just really
easy to turn it into a vinaigrette
because it's your acid so you just use
it as your vinegar in a vinaigrette and
it's really tasty and has a lot of
health benefits for ya you could also
turn your apple cider vinegar into a
tonic and have it with a few extra
flavors so you could have your glass of
water you could mix it in a little bit
of apple cider vinegar add in your lemon
juice heck you can even add in a little
shot of cayenne pepper for a little
spice which also has some weight loss
properties to it you could add in a
little bit of ground cinnamon or some
ginger and kind of add in whatever
flavors work for you
all of those have really great health
benefits and kind of add to the flavor
of the tonic if you find that you just
need to add a little bit of sweetness I
would recommend adding in some raw honey
and stirring that together definitely
that's not gonna work if you're fasting
but if you're not and you're just
wanting to incorporate more apple cider
vinegar into your diet that is a good
way and it goes delicious in that tonic
that I was just explaining also you can
have apple cider vinegar either hot or
cold so if you would rather go and keep
this up and have it all in like a nice
cozy mug that works as well
or if you want to have it chilled either
way you're gonna get the same health
benefit
so research has shown that about fifteen
to thirty milliliters per day of apple
cider vinegar has the best benefit so
that means just one to two tablespoons a
day is really what you should be having
and that's a mixture of anyway you have
it so if you want it in a drink or a
salad dressing all of that counts as the
total so keep that in mind as you're
adding in apple cider vinegar it doesn't
have to be much and definitely a
maintain moderation you don't want to
have a ton of it that's not going to
help you any more than just having one
to two tablespoons a day so my advice
would be if you're just getting started
start with one tablespoon a day and see
how you feel with that see how it tastes
to you you can even break that up over
the course of the day the reason why we
don't want to have too much apple cider
vinegar is that there could be potential
health hazards if you'd over consume it
or for other people that shouldn't have
it entirely and like I mentioned before
it does have an impact on your tooth
enamel so you don't want to be having a
ton of it also if you have a stomach
ulcer or a kidney problem if you're
definitely going to want to talk with
your doctor before adding any apple
cider vinegar because it is an acid and
it can cause some irritation for you and
also when you have it keep in mind that
a little goes a long way and it is not a
miracle cure it's gonna help promote
positive health in multiple areas of
your well-being and your health but it
doesn't mean it's gonna cure everything
and the more you have it the better
you're gonna be you always want to
balance things like this with a healthy
diet and definitely some exercise to
maintain a healthy lifestyle rather than
trying to go to one specific thing to
have that cure everything this is just
one small part of how to have overall
well-being so where are you at on the
apple cider vinegar debate do you love
it do you hate it do you have it
religiously every day share in the
comments below maybe add in any recipes
that you love to have your apple cider
vinegar with and make sure to give this
