Apple cider vinegar is a popular home remedy that many people use for various health reasons, including weight loss.
It’s made from apples that are crushed, distilled, and then fermented, turning them into vinegar. The main ingredient in apple cider vinegar is acetic acid, which gives it a strong smell and sour taste.
Some people believe that apple cider vinegar can help with weight loss by making you feel full, so you eat less, and by reducing the amount of fat your body stores. However, the evidence to support these claims is not very strong. While there have been some studies on animals that suggest apple cider vinegar might help with weight loss, the results in humans are not as clear.
For example, one study found that people who took vinegar with their meals felt more full and ate fewer calories for the rest of the day, but another study found that this feeling of fullness was because the vinegar caused nausea. There was also a small study where people who followed a diet that included apple cider vinegar lost a bit more weight than those who just followed the diet. However these studies were small and short-term, so it’s hard to say if apple cider vinegar really helps with weight loss over the long term.
It’s also important to remember that drinking apple cider vinegar can have side effects, like damaging your teeth or irritating your throat. So, if you’re thinking about trying apple cider vinegar for weight loss, it’s a good idea to talk to a doctor first and to use it in moderation.
