Reasons to Add Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) to Your Water

Hey everyone. I'm doing a quick health post today on why you should be adding Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) to your glass of water. This refers to ACV that is unfiltered and still contains "The Mother." I inlcuded a link below to the article that I will be referencing. Click to learn more. Now lets get to it...

Adding a teaspoon, tablespoon, or a splash of ACV to your glass of water will do some of the following:

Balance Blood Sugar:
"Studies have shown that apple cider vinegar supports healthy insulin response and blood sugar levels. It improves insulin sensitivity when you eat carbohydrate-dense meals, reducing the impact excessive starch can have on your metabolism, improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood glucose response to this large intake of sugars. For example, scientists found that consuming acetic acid (the type of acid found in ACV) at the same time as eating a 50-gram slice of white bread reduced blood glucose response by 31.4 percent. That’s seriously good news for diabetics."

Increase satiety and lose weight:
Intaking ACV will help your body feel satiated. This means that your body will feel "full" sooner. This can help prevent overeating and help with weight loss. Your body will also feel "full" longer, so it can help prevent snacking and overeating in between larger meals.

Get rid of harmful bacteria:
"Drinking apple cider vinegar in a glass of water every day can help your body to cleanse itself of excessive populations of bad bacteria, both in your gut and elsewhere. Drinking it with meals can also lower your risk of food poisoning, as studies have shown that ACV can actively inhibit certain bacteria strains, E. coli and salmonella included."

Repopulate your gut with good bacteria:
Replenishing the good bacteria in your gut is very important. One way to do this is by consuming probiotics and also raw apple cider vinegar. Provided you buy ACV in its raw form (look for words like “with the mother”, “unfiltered” and “unpasteurized”), you’ll be sending your gut a healthy population of beneficial bacteria every time you consume it.

So there you have it. An easy health hack that you can do everyday. It's easy, just add a splash of ACV to each glass of water you consume. A great idea is to add it to your first cup of water when you wake up. You should be drinking water first thing in the morning to help your body cleanse itself and start the day on the right foot. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you soon...
