Reasons Apple Cider Vinegar Works for Losing WeightⅣ

Once again, it is the acetic acid in apple cider vinegar that researchers think is responsible for higher metabolic rates. Most studies on ACV and metabolism have been on rats, but the results are interesting.

Rats who took acetic acid in the course of these studies had a higher production of the enzyme AMPK. Humans also produce AMPK to burn fat as well as limit development of fat and sugar in their livers.

4. It Makes Food Safer

When you’re on a diet, chances are you’ll be adding a lot of chicken, seafood, and fresh produce to your diet. Unfortunately, these foods all top the list of the most recalled food products.

They may be easily contaminated with food borne germs such as salmonella, listeria, or E. coli. We all know that once you’ve been made sick by a particular food, your willingness to eat it again goes way down.

Apple cider vinegar can kill the bacteria that cause food poisoning. Certain studies have shown that vinegar may reduce the level of bacteria on food by 90% and eliminate 95% of some viruses. Of course, you still need to observe food recalls and to wash all produce carefully. Remember, throwing up for days may make you skinnier, but it won’t make you healthier, and that’s really what you’re going for.
