4 Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar


Apple Cider Vinegar is quite famous in the natural health communities because of its varied uses in home remedies and for its health benefits, which are also supported by the science. Apple cider vinegar is made by adding yeast into apples which converts the sugar in the apples into alcohol.  Later, the process of fermentation is carried out by adding bacteria into the mixture. Here are the benefits one can avail from it.


 Preservative

It is used as a preservative to extend the shelf life of food items as it fights the bacteria from growing, keeping the food edible. The acetic acid in vinegar kills the microbes and prevents the food from spoiling. So a layer of apple cider vinegar on cucumber and apples will make them last longer.

Deodorizer

Due to its antibacterial body it can also be used for getting rid of bad smells and can work as an odour neutralizer.  Mix water and acetic acid in a misting spray bottle and sprinkle it in the room.

Weight loss

Weight loss is one of the proven reasons why apple cider vinegar has come a long way. It is known for inducing satiety and improving the metabolism of the body. A glass of water with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar can contribute to weight loss over time. Although simply consuming it will not bring about drastic changes but you can incorporate apple cider vinegar in your dietary regime like Ketogenic, Atkins or Vegan for better result.

Facial Toner

Apple cider vinegar can do wonders for your skin. By striking the right pH balance of your skin, it can clear it up by reducing age spots and lightening acne scars.  You can try dabbing apple cider vinegar with cotton on your face and washing it with water after thirty minutes.

Mouth Wash

Acidic environment prevents bacteria from growing and so the presence of acetic acid in apple cider vinegar may reduce the growth of bacteria inside the mouth and help with bad breath. But keep in mind that apple cider vinegar can damage the tooth enamel so while making it, make sure to dilute it well.
