When it comes to nutrition and health, the latest scientific findings are a good thing. But our grandmothers already knew many of these things. They may not have been able to explain the positive effects, but they knew how to use them for certain things. One such classic is the Apple cider vinegarwhich has been used in this country for several centuries to treat illnesses and for many other purposes. The following 12 reasons will convince you of the benefits of apple cider vinegar.
1-Grandma's remedy for high blood pressure
High blood pressure is a widespread disease that is affecting more and more people. Interestingly, however, our ancestors were already aware of the potential blood pressure-lowering effect of apple cider vinegar. Studies and numerous observations have shown that in many cases the consumption of apple cider vinegar was able to lower blood pressure by a few mmHg. This is most likely due to the increase in nitrogen production. Nitrogen in turn supports the dilation of blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure.
2-Apple cider vinegar can aid digestion
Vinegar made from apples can aid digestion in a completely natural way. This is especially true for so-called raw vinegar, which is not filtered. This raw vinegar contains so-called mother of vinegar. This in turn is a mass of acetic acid bacteria that is produced during fermentation. The proteins and pectin it contains can have a positive effect on digestion.
It is also interesting to note that pectin can have a positive effect on the blood concentration of LDL cholesterol. There are also ingredients such as malic acid, which has an antiviral effect, acetic acid and a number of minerals and trace elements. By regularly consuming around one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar diluted with a little water, you can improve the absorption of nutrients from your food and even reduce the feeling of hunger.
3-Strengthen your immune system
Vinegar not only has an effect on the intestines in terms of digestion, but can also have a positive influence on your immune system. After all, the intestine or intestinal flora is an elementary component of the immune system. Apple cider vinegar helps to build up and maintain a strong intestinal flora and can also score points with its antiviral effect. Once again, unfiltered vinegar with vinegar mother is ideal. It is also believed that vinegar can help to cleanse the lymph nodes, which can have a positive effect on allergies and typical colds.
4- Detox with the power of apple cider vinegar
Detoxification plays an important role for many of us. If you don't want to use miracle supplements, you can simply harness the power of apple cider vinegar. Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar can help your body to detoxify. For example, it is believed that the micronutrients contained in vinegar can have a cleansing effect on the liver. However, you don't need to consume huge quantities to benefit from this effect. Simply stir a tablespoon of vinegar into a glass of water every day - that's enough.
5-Aids against bad breath
There are a number of reasons for bad breath. Interestingly, vinegar made from apples can also be used as an excellent mouthwash. The apple and acetic acid it contains is responsible for the effect, which kills the bacteria in the mouth that are responsible for bad breath. To use vinegar against bad breath, simply mix one third vinegar with two thirds water. Gargle with it for a good 20 to 30 seconds and the bad breath is history.
6-Possible solution for constipation, heartburn and bowel problems
We have already mentioned several times that apple cider vinegar can have a positive effect on the gut. This applies not only to digestion, but also to various intestinal problems. For example, vinegar is suitable as a mild laxative that stimulates intestinal movements if these are out of balance. The use of apple cider vinegar can be particularly effective for constipation.
The apple pectin contained in unfiltered vinegar can even soothe the gastrointestinal tract and help to prevent unpleasant symptoms such as flatulence, stomach cramps and even heartburn. The latter is attributed to the fact that diluted apple cider vinegar can influence the regulation of stomach acid levels.
7-Useful little helper when losing weight
Some studies have now shown that the use of apple cider vinegar can at least slightly support weight loss. This is due to the acetic acid it contains. Among other things, acetic acid can suppress the accumulation of liver and body fats. There is also evidence that the pectin contained in vinegar causes your body to absorb slightly less fat from food. Here too, one tablespoon of vinegar mixed with water is sufficient to achieve a long-term supportive effect. Ideally, you should consume the mixture approx. 10 to 15 minutes before eating.
8-Keeping the intestinal flora healthy
Vinegar contains numerous beneficial acids and other micronutrients. Scientists believe that a large proportion of these have a positive influence on the development of healthy intestinal flora. Thanks to the antifungal, antimicrobial and antibacterial effects of malic and acetic acid, vinegar can help your body fight unwanted fungi and bacteria. Interestingly, the acids are also thought to help limit the spread of Candida fungus in the digestive tract. The latter occurs mainly due to a diet high in sugar.
9-Regulation of the blood sugar level
Acetic acid is a real miracle substance that influences our body via numerous mechanisms. Accordingly, acetic acid can also slow down the digestion of short-chain carbohydrates. This in turn can stabilize blood sugar levels by smoothing out blood sugar spikes.
This effect has already been proven in several studies. Doctors suspect that regular intake of vinegar can have similar effects to taking typical diabetes medication such as metformin or acarbose. Several research projects are currently underway in which the use of apple cider vinegar as a supplementary diabetes therapy is being further investigated.
10-More energy and stamina with vinegar
Another interesting approach to the use of apple cider vinegar is to promote energy and stamina. According to the traditions of our ancestors, vinegar was used in this way several hundred years ago as a universal remedy and source of energy. However, it is not yet clear how the slight effect on energy and stamina is achieved.
However, it is assumed that it is a combination of the mechanisms of action already mentioned and a certain alkalizing effect. Important: This effect is highly subjective and has not yet been clearly proven in any scientific study. But as the saying goes: the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
11-Apple cider vinegar for restless leg syndrome and cramps
It has now been well researched that the regular use of apple cider vinegar can increase the potassium content in the body. This is relevant because potassium is an important factor in numerous metabolic processes. These include muscle tone and the transmission of stimuli. As low potassium levels increase the likelihood of muscle cramps, vinegar can play its part in preventing muscle cramps in the legs. Some patients even report that the use of the home remedy also has a positive effect on restless leg syndrome if the water-vinegar mixture is drunk before going to bed.
12-Vinegar for skin problems and for a beautiful home remedy
You may have heard that brandy vinegar was once used to promote blood circulation in the skin, for example. Apple cider vinegar can have a positive effect on the skin. Used externally in particular, vinegar can balance the pH value of the skin. It is therefore very effective against skin problems such as acne. Here too, it is recommended that you do not use the vinegar undiluted, as this could irritate the skin. A mixture of one to three has been used for centuries as a skin tonic against skin problems.
