Should you drink apple cider vinegar?
Instantly the idea of drinking vinegar seems bizarre, of course, I am not suggesting you drink a bottle neat. That would be silly.

What are the benefits of apple cider vinegar?
I must admit when I first discovered how many benefits there are of apple cider vinegar I was surprised. I am sure you will be too.
Many people claim it can do all sorts but the reality is there are only a few things with evidence. It can also be used for cleaning!
Apple cider vinegar is often used to kill pathogens like bacteria. For this reason, some people say it can help with acne.
There are some reports that state apple cider vinegar can lower blood sugar levels and help to manage diabetes. Of course, always get the advice of your doctor before changing anything.
Weight loss can also be improved by adding it to your diet. There are studies that show it can help you to feel full.
They suggest you then eat fewer calories and lose weight. How amazing that cider vinegar can help weight loss.
Choosing the best apple cider vinegar
If possible, the best apple cider vinegar is one with mother. This gives the vinegar a bit of a cloudy appearance because it includes proteins, enzymes and friendly bacteria.
It is often believed that this substance is what makes apple cider vinegar healthy. There is no evidence to support this that I can find.
Some people drink apple cider vinegar mixed with water and honey as a drink. I think this is much tastier and also gives you the benefits of cranberries!
