What are the health benefits of Apple cider vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar has a wide range of potential health benefits, most of which are as a result of its potential antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. There is evidence that suggest that it could aid weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, boost skin health, kill harmful microorganisms, and lower cholesterol levels, among others.

Weight loss

Apple cider vinegar supports weight loss by increasing the feeling of satiety. This makes you eat less, and; thus, your calorie intake reduces. To check the effects of this vinegar intake on weight loss, a study conducted a double-blinded trial research and assigned obese Japanese subjects randomly into groups that were given either apple cider vinegar or a placebo. At the end of a 12-week treatment period, obese subjects that were given ACV showed a significant reduction in body weight, body mass index, visceral fat area, waist circumference, and serum triglyceride levels than the other group that were given only a placebo. The study concluded that “the daily intake of ACV may be useful in the prevention of metabolic syndrome by reducing obesity”.²

Blood sugar

There is evidence that suggests consumption of ACV might help in fighting type-2 diabetes, which is characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood caused as a result of insulin resistance or inability to produce sufficient amounts of insulin.

Research, although with a small number of subjects, showed that consumption of apple cider vinegar may be able to improve insulin sensitivity by up to 19–34% after consumption of a high carb meal, while also significantly lowering blood sugar level.³ Another study suggested that consumption of ACV at bedtime may be able to positively impact waking glucose concentrations in type 2 diabetes.⁴

Skin health

Apple cider vinegar has been used to fight many skin problems. Evidence on its potential activity against skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis, which is believed to be as a result of its high acidity.⁵ Also, the antimicrobial properties of ACV, which has been shown to be due to its acetic acid content, may be able to protect the skin against bacterial and fungal infections.⁶

Antimicrobial

As mentioned earlier, ACV is a great antimicrobial that can easily kill off disease causing microorganisms like the bacteria. Its use in this regard dates back thousands of years. It is said that even Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, used vinegar to clean and disinfect wounds.

High cholesterol

There is evidence that suggests that apple cider vinegar may be able to improve cardiovascular health by reducing blood cholesterol level. This effect was noticed in research performed in type-2 diabetic patients who took 15 ml of ACV daily, for a period of eight weeks.⁷
