Apple cider vinegar is known to have a number of health benefits, including weight loss

Apple cider vinegar is often praised for its weight loss properties.

Speaking exlcusively to GB News, a nutritionist explained how it could help boost the metabolism and reduce appetite.


Nutritionist and SAQ coach at www.bio-synergy.com Daniel Herman said: "Apple cider vinegar is believed to offer several potential benefits for weight loss, although scientific evidence is mixed."

He shared there are a number of ways it can help with weight loss.

Appetite suppression

Daniel continued: "Some studies suggest that apple cider vinegar might help reduce appetite and promote feelings of fullness, which could lead to consuming fewer calories."

Blood sugar regulation

"Apple cider vinegar may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels, which could aid in weight loss by preventing spikes and crashes in energy levels and cravings."

Metabolism

"Some research suggests that apple cider vinegar might slightly increase the rate at which the body burns calories, potentially contributing to weight loss over time."

Reduced fat storage

"Acetic acid, a component of apple cider vinegar, could potentially interfere with the body's ability to store excess fat," Daniel continued.

Digestive support

The expert said: "Apple cider vinegar may aid digestion and support gut health, which can indirectly impact weight management."

Slimmers can take around one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, preferably mixed with water.

Although there are many ways the drink can help the waistline, Daniel stressed diet and exercise are still key when trying to achieve any weight loss.

He said: "Remember that while apple cider vinegar might have some potential benefits, it's not a magic solution for weight loss.

"A healthy diet, regular exercise, and other lifestyle factors are key."
