Suppresses Appetite, Increases Metabolism, Reducing Water retention : APPLE CIDER VINEGAR yes it is!!

 APPLE CIDER VINEGAR 

Apple cider vinegar, also known as cider vinegar or ACV, is a product of fermentation and is a type of vinegar made from cider or apple and has a pale to medium amber color.

It is best to use organic unpasteurized apple cider vinegar containing the "mother" to get all the good nutrients.

Apple cider vinegar and Weight loss 

• Apple cider vinegar works by suppressing the appetite, because it contains organic acids and enzymes. These increase the metabolism rate, which is nothing but the speed at which body burns fat. It also reduces water retention and makes you feel refreshed.

• Studies show that apple cider vinegar can help balance blood sugar levels by lowering the glycemic index of a meal. It is true that the prevention of blood sugar spikes can support weight loss.

• But no food can rapidly cause weight loss unless changes are made to dietary habits and lifestyle

Recommendation for ACV :

• 1 to 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar + 1 glass of water

• Drink before meals 2 times a day(before lunch and dinner)

  (You can add 1 teaspoon honey or agave to add some sweetness)
