9. Heart burn and acid reflux

Heart burn has become quite an issue lately, and those affected would try everything to relieve it. This unpleasant ailment occurs as a result of what experts like to call the Standard American Diet (SAD) where the body is just drowned in hydrochloric acid.

People with improperly functioning gut flora fail to generate Hcl, mostly because they do not get enough cultured/fermented foods. It can also happen to those who have received an unhealthy dose of antibiotics recently.

Natural acids in your stomach represent the first line of defense against harmful microorganisms, but high levels of this acid may bring pathogens around the esophaegal sphincter and hinder its function, allowing the food to go back up the esophagus.

Take a tablespoon of raw and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with your meals to enhance the function of your natural acids and ease the process of eliminating dangerous microorganisms. This provides a proper kick start of your digestion.

10. High cholesterol

A 2006 study involving rats has shown that regular application of apple cider vinegar for 19 days decreased cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

However, this sure requires an additional examination and more thorough studies. Acids in apple cider vinegar prevent LDL cholesterol particles from oxidation.

11. Antiglycemic effect

There are plenty of studies based on the effect apple cider vinegar has on insulin and blood glucose after meals. First, you need to understand what is the role of insulin in human body.

Some experts like to say that it participates in the way our bodies use food. Its main role is to regulate sugar levels in the circulatory system.

After you finish a meal, your body transforms food into glucose which later ends in your circulatory system. The role of your pancreas is to release enough insulin to eliminate excess sugar from your blood stream. Part of this glucose goes in the liver where it is transformed into glycogen which is what your muscles use.

At this point insulin transforms remaining glucose into unsaturated fat in the form of fat cells which are then stored as further source of fuel. Your body requires sugar, but the products you buy at the supermarket are extremely high in processed sugar.

Many people develop insulin resistance, meaning there is too much insulin running inside your system. The body refuses to use it and the sugar remains in your blood system, and that is something your body does not need. Eventually, you can develop diabetes or long-term health issues.

Apple cider vinegar has the power to suppress appetite and give you a feeling of satiety. It also brings down the glycemic response to starchy carbs.

Diabetes is a common ailment, and it is great to have simple ingredients like apple cider vinegar on your side in the battle against this dangerous ailment.

12. Protection

Cancer has become the plague in modern times, and we all know someone who deals with this debilitating disease. Experts have tried to determine which is the perfect way to prevent cancer, and the only thing they agree on is the fact that implementing healthy dietary habits is the greatest prevention.

Acetic acid in apple cider vinegar shows amazing anti-tumor properties, as shown in various studies. Apple cider vinegar could be the cure for cancer, but an ongoing study has yet to confirm this. It is still a mystery whether things are going in the right direction.

Apple cider vinegar is just one of the products you should add to your everyday diet. It has no side effects, and there is no risk of overdose, so what are you waiting for?

13. Better digestion

Apple cider vinegar is the most amazing digestive tonic you can have. It is abundant in active enzymes that break down food in its tiniest particles, enabling the body to use it properly.

The health-boosting vinegar is an excellent source of acid which eases the initial part of regular digestion. It blends well with the digestive juices, which is of essential importance when it comes to enhancing digestion.

Acetic acid in apple cider vinegar aids in mineral ingestion, meaning that it helps you to get the best of your food.

14. Muscle fatigue after exercising

Muscle exhaustion is a common side effect of mineral deficiency or poor electrolyte level. Take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar before you hit the gym for extra electrolytes. Healthy pH balance in your body eases the elimination of excess lactic acid, which is of great importance for those who exercise regularly.

15. Halitosis

It can be quite embarrassing, and oftentimes indicates a deeper issue. Apple cider vinegar is a unique remedy for those dealing with halitosis, and it has no side effects.

According to an old folk recipe, by gargling half a tablespoon of vinegar solution for half a minute, twice a day, can provide some great results. Some use it to whiten their teeth and remove any unpleasant stains.

16. Body odor

Thanks to its ability to balance skin’s pH value, apple cider vinegar can really help you remove unpleasant body odors. Conventional antiperspirants cannot do that!

Get a 10-minute foot soak once a week to get rid of foot stench and relieve fungal infections. Soak a cotton ball in some apple cider vinegar and wipe your armpits to remove odors.

17. Preserving food

Vinegar has been used as a preservative agent since 5,000 BC when it was first found. History says that some people claimed it to be ‘a mysterious liquid’ that kept their food good for quite a long.

It is the same thing today. If you buy more food than you can eat, the only thing that is left to do is preserve it! You will not throw away your food/money, right? This is a nice way to eat your favorite veggies throughout the entire year.

Use apple cider vinegar instead of regular white vinegar to pickle your food. It will taste much better, and you get some extra health benefits, too.
