Apple Cider Vinegar, or ACV as it is fondly called has barely 3 calories per spoon (Which is very less!) and also comes with potassium, antioxidants and amino acids.

These factors should be tempting enough for you guys to try it, but we’ll take it a step forward and break it down for you.  Apples have been known over the years, to keep the doctor away and Vinegar is so beneficial that there were conspiracy theories of Jesus’ wounds being treated with vinegar and ultimately resurrecting him! Now combine these two powerful foods and bam! You have nothing less than a super food.

Here are 5 benefits of having Apple Cider Vinegar –

Most beneficial for all Diabetics, since it is shown to lower the blood sugar levels – The potion works wonders with type 2 patients especially, with vinegar shown to stabilize blood sugar levels in cases where they tend to go sky high. During high carb meals, insulin sensitivity is also boosted. As complicated as it sounds, it simply means that the vinegar helps reduce the amount of sugar being leaked into your blood. Sounds good no?

Calling all fatties! – Apple Cider Vinegar has shown to help with the weight loss process. Yes, the magical process that is losing weight is aided by ACV.  Regular consumption of vinegar has shown to magically make you fit into that pair of jeans you had almost given up hope on. The loss of belly fat and waist circumference is a notable point in the use of ACV. One step closer to the flat tummy you’ve always wanted ? Maybe.

Saves your life – Cardiovascular disease (heart disease) is the largest cause of death across the world. Having a bit of ACV saves you from being included in the ordinary and ensures that at least this is not going to be your cause of death. Studies conducted initially on rats showed that ACV reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels in your blood and reduces the risk of heart attacks and failures.

Shiny hair and better skin – ACV has shown to increase the body and shine of your hair when rinsed with a solution of ACV and water. Try recycling an old shampoo bottle with a cup of cold water and a teaspoon of ACV. Use it as a rinse after shampooing and you’ll feel a different hair’ about you! Dilute the vinegar with two parts water and use cotton to spread it on your face using a cotton ball before going to bed. It maintains the Ph balance of your skin and will ensure you don’t get dry skin.

Helps soothe sunburns – Add a cup of ACV to your bath water and let it rest for ten minutes before you go for a bath. The water soothes sunburnt skin and helps the healing process. Make sure to stock up your supplies if you intend to hit Goa this summer!
