Happy
Thursday!
Today, I want to talk about the benefits of consuming 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (ACV) daily for your gut health and weight loss. Two great reasons to consider adding it to your diet.
Gut Health Benefits:
- Probiotic Content: ACV contains probiotics that
support the growth of good bacteria in the gut, promoting better digestion (improves microbiome).
- Acetic Acid: The acetic acid in ACV can help kill harmful bacteria and pathogens in the digestive tract (improves the microbiome).
- Improved Digestion: ACV can increase the acidity of the stomach, which aids in the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients (as we
age our stomach acids decrease - this helps you improve it).
Weight Loss Benefits:
- Appetite Suppressant: Some studies suggest that ACV can help reduce appetite, leading to lower calorie intake and weight loss over time. Studies show 200-250 calories less intake daily with taking it.
- Increased Satiety:
Consuming ACV with meals may increase feelings of fullness, which can help reduce overeating.
- Improved Metabolism: There is evidence that ACV can boost metabolism, helping the body burn fat more efficiently.
- Lower Blood Sugar Levels: ACV has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels, which can be beneficial for weight
management.
HUGE benefits, right:-)
Ok, Carrie when should I have it?
Ideas:
Before bed lowers blood sugar in the AM
After a high carb meal to help insulin sensitivity
Before a meal to curb appetite
and increase fullness
How do I consume it?
Ways to Consume:
Dilute in water
Salad dressing or over lean protein sources or veggies
If you want to improve your gut health and weight loss work on intregrating 2 tablespoons
daily:-)
That's it for today- make today amazing!
