ACV is made from fermented apples and is rich in acetic acid, enzymes, and good bacteria. It’s been widely used for digestion, detox, and fat metabolism.

Drinking diluted ACV in the morning can help stimulate fat-burning enzymes, improve insulin sensitivity and kickstart your metabolism naturally.

ACV helps control your appetite by slowing digestion, making you feel fuller for longer, and reducing cravings, resulting in low portion sizes.

As sable blood sugar leads to less fat storage, ACV slows the breakdown of carbs, reducing sugar spikes, which helps our body stay in fat-burning mode all day.

A healthy gut leads to better fat metabolism. ACV enhances stomach acid production, which is great for bloating, gas, and nutrient absorption. Pair with warm water for better results.

Never take ACV undiluted. Mix 1 tbsp ACV in 1 glass of lukewarm water. You can add cinnamon for flavour and added benefits. Try to have this 15-30 minutes before breakfast, and always use a straw.

ACV is not for everyone; skip ACV if you face acid reflux, have ulcers or have low potassium levels. If you are unsure, always get in touch with a healthcare professional.

Apple Cider Vinegar has many health benefits, but it is not a magic potion. It works best with a balanced diet, clean eating, regular physical activity, and quality sleep.
