Vinegar has been manufactured and used since the Egyptian days of 3000 BC. The most important ingredient of vinegar is acetic acid which imparts a sour taste to it. It is mainly used for cooking purpose. One type of Vinegar is Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV. It is prepared by adding bacteria and yeast to the extract of crushed apples. The process of fermentation converts the sugar to alcohol. In the second fermentation process, the alcohol is converted to vinegar with the help of acetic acid forming bacteria.

Apart from being used as toppings on salad, the ACV has many health benefits. Here are some benefits that ACV has to offer:

2 . Helps Regulate Blood Sugar 

 ACV inactivates the digestive enzyme that breakdown carbohydrates into sugar, hence slowing the complex carbohydrate conversion into sugar. It gives an extra time to the body to pull the sugar out of the blood. Drink one tablespoon of vinegar mixed with water and non-caloric sweetener just before a meal. If you are on anti-diabetic pills, do consult your doctor before going for apple cider vinegar.

3 . Helps Lower Cholesterol Levels

Apple cider vinegar increases the bile production and supports the liver. Liver and bile are necessary for production, processing and breaking down the cholesterol.

4 . Helps Improve Digestion

Indigestion happens when there is too little acid in the stomach thereby leading to indigestion. The acid content can be improved with the help of ACV. Add one tablespoon of ACV to a glass of water and drink daily to aid digestion.

7 . Helps Curb Bad Breath

 It’s embarrassing for a person to exhale bad breath. Bad breath known as Halitosis in medical terms originates due to accumulation of bacteria in the mouth. ACV helps in clearing the bacteria due to the presence of acetic acid in it. You can drink diluted ACV after a meal to ward off bad breath. You can also gargle by a solution of one tablespoon ACV and a cup of warm water.

Since vinegar is acidic in nature, it should not be consumed without diluting. If taken directly, it may damage the oesophagus and mouth.  Limit the quantity to maximum 2 tablespoon of vinegar. If you are on medication and want to use ACV, consult your doctor beforehand. Eat Healthy, Stay Healthy!
