Whatever the pace of pharmacology, but most modern people give their preference to the advice of traditional medicine and natural remedies. One such recognized drug is apple cider vinegar. We will share our knowledge about him in this article.
Specialized literature, "glorifying" all kinds of methods of treatment with natural remedies, calls apple cider vinegar a kind of elixir of beauty and health. Is it really? Indeed, this product contains many useful vitamins and minerals, but this is not a direct guide to self-medication. In order to deal with it, you need to have certain medical knowledge. If they are not there, you should consult a doctor. Indeed, in some cases, vinegar can become a medicine, and in others it can cause irreparable harm to your health. However, this applies not only to apple cider vinegar, but also to other “folk” products or products.
The composition of apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar contains many nutrients, vitamins and minerals. More specifically, malic acid, pectin, potassium and calcium, vitamins A, E, C, B1, B2, B6, iron and magnesium, phosphorus and sodium, zinc and copper, as well as manganese and selenium. The presence of acetic acid in its composition explains the pungent smell and sour taste of apple cider vinegar.
Apple cider vinegar: benefits and harms
Most people are ready to swear that apple cider vinegar has a “magical” effect on the figure. Others claim that in addition to losing kilograms, it can significantly improve health. However, you should not immediately grab a bottle of vinegar, while simultaneously searching for dosages and duration of use on the Internet - first of all, you need to make sure that it is correct and scientifically sound such a figure correction method. So, before you believe that the combination “diet + apple cider vinegar” is really effective, you need to draw up a certain nutrition program, as well as study all its disadvantages and advantages.
The fact is, taking vinegar really reduces your appetite, but this does not mean that you need to completely refuse food. The nutrition system should remain complete, just a couple of spoons of apple cider vinegar (diluted with water) is added to it 10-15 minutes before eating. If you drink it and eat nothing, the results can be disastrous. Especially, this applies to people suffering from stomach problems (ulcers, gastritis, and so on). In general, those who have similar diseases should consult a specialist (therapist or gastroenterologist) before starting vinegar therapy.
Doctors advise taking apple cider vinegar diluted with water to maintain health, but do not consider it a panacea, which in the blink of an eye will help solve the problem of overweight. If a person wants to lose weight, he simply needs to pull himself together and the nutrition system under control. “In that case, he will not need vinegar at all,” the doctors assure.
