10 Potential Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar!


Apple cider vinegar is made when fresh cider is fermented into an alcoholic drink and then fermented once again into a vinegar. Apple cider vinegar has been used for its health benefits for thousands of years. Although most of these health benefits are unproven, we still find them interesting and worth knowing! Many studies that support these claims are promising, but preliminary. Here is a list of ten potential health benefits of apple cider vinegar! 

1. Apple cider vinegar may help to control blood sugar levels. It is often used as a natural treatment for diabetes.

2. Apple cider vinegar may help to lower cholesterol.

3. Apple cider vinegar may help with weight loss. This is probably at least partly due to the fact that vinegar tends to make people feel full. It has also been thought to boost metabolism.

5. Apple cider vinegar may help prevent cancer by promoting alkalinity in the body.

6. Apple cider vinegar may provide relief from night time leg cramps.

  2. So I'm just curious on the correct way to use the vinegar. For example, for a cold, should I just drink some, or mix it with a drink, how much do I drink, etc? I hadn't sore throat and sinus congestion now so would love to know how this works. Thanks.

    1. Try mixing one or two tablespoons with a glass of cold water or apple juice and drink. To soothe a sore throat mix 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar with 1/4 cup of warm water and gargle every hour or so. Hope this helps!
