The Apple Cider Vinegar Diet

zz


Apple cider vinegar is an acidic solution produced by fermenting apples. The "fat burning effect" is contributed by the combination of acidic vinegar and fruit pectin. It is obtained from the fermentation of apple juice. It also contains important minerals, trace elements and vitamins, as well acetic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, enzymes, amino acids and roughage in the form of potash and apple pectin. The fermentation provides alcoholic apple cider that is combined with oxygen to produce acetic acid. The pH of apple cider vinegar is very favorable for the body.

Intake In order to complete the diet, you must take one, two, or three teaspoons of apple vinegar before each meal.

BENEFITS

Constipation

As aging commences, the body starts to delay the fabrication of digestive acids (hydrochloric acid), pepsin and digestive enzymes thereby causing constipation. Adding fiber to our diet, such as pectin in apple cider vinegar, assists our body in enabling natural bowel movements and proper riddance/ elimination.

Blood pressure

The potassium in apple cider vinegar along with other substances makes the blood thinner and therefore helpful in controlling blood pressure.

Diabetes

There may be various reasons for this disease and it needs proper medical supervision, and a strict adherence to dietary rules and medication, as prescribed by your medical practitioner. However, added dietary fiber, such as contained in apple cider vinegar, is beneficial in controlling blood glucose levels.

Chest congestion

Apple cider vinegar is also useful in relieving flu or chest congestion. Applying apple cider vinegar with pepper on the chest can help alleviate congestion.

Asthma

Researches reveal that relief from asthma is experienced by ingesting apple cider vinegar, as well as applying pads, soaked in apple cider vinegar, under pressure to the inside of the wrists.

Digestion

Hydrochloric acid and pepsin are two essential components in our digestive system that breaks down the food and aids in digestion. Deficiency of these components can cause food poisoning. Apple cider vinegar has the ability to enhance their functionality and help prevent food poisoning.

Strong Bones

Minerals like manganese, calcium, magnesium, silicon and iron in this diet develops bone mass and makes them stronger.
