However, experts recommend that it is necessary to understand correctly and use apple cider vinegar properly to achieve safe results.
According to Carol Johnston, a nutritionist in the US, acetic acid in apple cider vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity and help the body control blood sugar better after meals. When blood sugar stabilizes, appetite also decreases, thereby supporting weight control. Some small studies show that using apple cider vinegar before meals can help reduce visceral fat accumulation if combined with a reasonable diet.
However, body detoxification should not be understood in the sense of miraculous detoxification. According to Cleveland Clinic, the liver and kidneys are the main organs performing the detoxification function. Apple cider vinegar only plays a role in supporting digestion and metabolism, but does not replace the body's natural mechanisms.
Experts recommend mixing 1–2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar into 250 ml of warm water, drinking about 15–20 minutes before meals. Absolutely do not drink pure food because it can irritate the esophagus, harm tooth enamel and stomach.
People with a history of stomach ulcers, reflux or taking hypoglycemic medication should consult a doctor before use.
Apple cider vinegar can be an assistant in the journey to control weight, but the key is still a balanced diet and regular exercise.
