Apple cider vinegar actually affects how blood sugar is regulated. It is rich in acetic acid. This acid improves the ability of the liver and muscles to use sugar from your blood, reducing its levels, says a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition. Drinking apple cider vinegar can help reduce blood sugar levels after a meal by 31 per cent. This is the finding of another study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

ACV also improves insulin sensitivity, allowing your body to use this hormone more efficiently. This in turn optimizes blood sugar control. All these factors combine together to help you in weight loss.

Decreases insulin levels

Acetic acid reduces the ratio of insulin to glucagon, another hormone. This helps in fat burning, says a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition. Moreover, apple cider vinegar coupled with a carb-rich meal is beneficial for people with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Research suggests that their insulin sensitivity improves after this meal. Efficient insulin management is key to successful weight loss.

Improves metabolism

Apart from helping in the efficient regulation of insulin and glucose levels, there is another way apple cider vinegar helps you battle the bulge. It increases your metabolism and the number of calories your body burns each day. Apple cider vinegar owes its metabolism boosting benefit to its acid factor. The acetic acid present in it boosts stomach acid naturally. This is required for a good digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function and your metabolism.

If you have extra pounds in and around your midsection, then apple cider vinegar can be a solution. According to a study published in the journal Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, ACV may increase the production of an enzyme called AMPK, thanks to its acetic acid. This enzyme is responsible for fat burning and decreasing fat and sugar production in the liver.

It has been found that drinking 15 to 30 milliliters of vinegar daily can lead to significant reduction in belly fat, body weight and waist circumference.

Suppresses appetite

Avoid food

Increases fullness

Apple cider vinegar can help you avoid overeating by making you feel full. A Swedish study found that the volunteers who used vinegar as an accompaniment with their meals reported higher levels of satiety after eating than those who did avoided this vinegar. Another research featured in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that consuming apple cider vinegar with white bread is more effective and serves two purposes. It can decrease blood sugar levels and increase feelings of satiety.
