Apple Cider Vinegar benefits?

I ACV, but couldn't give any firm reasons as to why. I've been drinking it mostly daily since I was about 15, I dilute it in a pint of water, and really like the taste, I find it light and refreshing. For me, its a bit of a family thing, my grandpa does the same with white vinegar, my mom does ACV, so I just did too.

So, in terms of results? I dunno. It's like a multivitamin. I feel generally better when I have my vitamins every day. I feel generally better when I have my ACV. I don't think it does anything for weight loss. If anything, its more "wellbeing". I do find in generally I get less "snacky" after work when I have it, but that could be more habit than anything else. But that could potentially be a blood sugar thing?

I use Braggs ACV with the mother in it, the cloudy one. I think it's one of those things that's personal. If you like it, great, I'm all for it. But I wouldn't use it hoping for results or anything. Like a vitamin.

Well, you asked for the "benefits" so instead of being rude and/or berating your for asking a question, I'll lay out some benefits that I've read about. Keeping in mind that there is no absolute proof and the potential benefits are only viable if using ACV with a healthy diet and exercise program. Here goes:

ACV can improve the way in which the liver and muscles absorb sugar from the blood. Findings show that it can potentially keep blood glucose level regulated (below 110 mg/dl), which will help the body burn more stored fat on a regular basis and has also been shown to alter the ratio of the fat storage and fat burning hormones in the body; reducing the ratio of insulin to glucagon, which favors fat burning.

Individuals found an increase of the enzyme, AMPK present in their bodies, which increases fat burning and decreases fat and sugar production in the liver.

Research has shown that after rats were fed vinegar, they were protected from obesity and even showed an increase in the expression of genes linked to reduced belly fat and liver fat storage.

In a study where mice were fed a high-fat diet, they found a significant increase in the genes responsible for fat burning. In a test conducted on humans over a 12-week period, obese Japanese participants were split into three groups, one of which consumed 500 ml of a drink that had either 15 ml, 30 ml, or 0 ml of vinegar. When measuring the body weight, BMI, visceral fat, waist circumferences, and serum triglyceride levels at the end of the study, they found that those numbers were significantly lower in the 15 ml and 30 ml group, as compared to the people consuming 0 ml.

Aside from that, it tastes pretty good. I also like fermented drinks and foods for the beneficial enzymes, b-vitamins, Omega-3 fatty acids, and various strains of probiotics.

Last, like I say to my clients... if you think it works, than it works
