Apple cider vinegar has a rich history as a home remedy, used to treat a wide range of things ranging from a sore throat to varicose veins. However, there is not much science to back the claims. Still, in recent years, some scholars have been taking a closer look at apple cider vinegar and its benefits. Here, we will take a look at some of the common benefits of apple cider vinegar on human.

Kills Harmful Bacteria

Vinegar can help kill pathogens which include harmful bacteria. Apple cider vinegar has traditionally been used for cleaning and sterilizing, treating nail infections of various kinds. Many even use vinegar to clean and disinfect wounds. Vinegar has also been used as a food preservative.

If you are looking for a natural way to preserve your food, then apple cider vinegar could prove to be a real deal. There have also been subjective reports of apple cider vinegar aiding with acne when used on the skin, although there is no substantial evidence to prove this, yet.

Helps Fight Diabetes

This is, perhaps, one of the most common uses of apple cider vinegar. Based on research, the most effective application of vinegar to date is in patients with diabetes type 2. Type 2 diabetes is known by high blood sugar levels, due to either of insulin resistance or an incapacity to produce insulin.

Nonetheless, high blood sugar can also be a problem in people who don’t have the disease. The most effective (and among the healthiest) way to do that is to stay away from carbs and sugar. Also, apple cider vinegar can help reduce the effect of the disease to a very large extent.

Helps to Lose Weight and Reduce Body Fat

This is another exciting usefulness of apple cider vinegar. Amazingly, studies also show that vinegar can help attain lose weight. Some human studies show that vinegar can surge satiety, help you eat less calories and eventually lead to actual weight lost on the scale.

For instance, if people have vinegar along with a high-carb meal, they get augmented feelings of fullness and eventually eat about 200 – 275 fewer calories for the rest of the day. Apple cider vinegar is useful as a weight loss aid. This is mainly achieved by indorsing satiety and lowering blood sugar and insulin levels.

Ease Heartburn and Indigestion

Apple cider vinegar is believed to ease some kinds of heartburn, acid reflux, and digestive situations like constipation or diarrhoea. For heartburn, apple cider vinegar is believed to work since it is acidic, and a lack of stomach acid would most likely have triggered heartburn symptoms in some people.

Yet, the widely known heartburn diet involves plummeting acidic foods which makes it a good idea to speak with your health care provider before adding acidic foods to your diet. While some recommend taking the apple cider vinegar by the spoonful, its acidity may result in mouth, throat, or oesophageal irritation or burns. A more reasonable guideline would be to have a quantity you would usually eat in a meal (normally one teaspoon or less) diluted in one cup of water or taken in food.

Help Relieve Minor Sunburn

While the more popular recommendation for a mild sunburn is a cool water wrapping, cool bath, aloe gel, or conditioner, some people rather go the apple cider vinegar way. It can be added to a cool bath or mixed with water and flippantly spritzed on affected areas to help relieve pain and discomfort. It should be noted that apple cider vinegar should not be applied in strong concentrations to the skin because of its high concentration.
