AppetiteApple cider vinegar is a substance that has been used for many years as a home remedy for many different problems such as stomach flu, high cholesterol, sore throats, joint pain and sinus infections. But one of the most touted benefits that apple cider vinegar brings to the table is weight loss. One of the ways it helps out in this department is with control of hunger cravings. As recommended by Dr. D.C Jarvis, 1 to 2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar should be taken with water right before a meal. This helps to reduce appetite because of a fiber compound found in the vinegar called pectin. This substance mixes with the water and expands in the stomach, which causes appetite to be decreased.RetentionWhen the body retains water, weight naturally goes up. This can be a side effect of having too much sodium in the diet. Apple cider vinegar has a high amount of potassium in it. When taking apple cider vinegar, the potassium helps to flush the sodium content out of the body. This in turn can lead to less retained water and a loss of weight.MetabolismEvery single daily process that your body goes under has to do with metabolism. This includes sleeping, breathing, reading, working out and even digesting food. Metabolism is the rate at which your body utilizes calories to form energy and perform all of these duties. Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid. When acetic acid comes in contact with foods, it helps promote the absorption of iron. A high iron absorption leads to a high oxygen utilization, which ends up raising the metabolic rate. When the metabolic rate is high, a lot of calories are burned, which causes weight loss.Well BeingThere are a lot of people who are emotional eaters and they overindulge when they are faced with stressful situations. Another way apple cider vinegar helps with weight loss is through the release of proteins during the digestive process. Tryptophan is a key amino acid that is released through this process and it is in turn responsible for the release of serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter and natural tranquilizer. When serotonin is produced, the body is less likely to feel stress, which can lead to overeating.EliminationOf the three macronutrients, fats are the most calorie dense, weighing in at 9 calories per gram. Apple cider vinegar helps reduce the transit time of fats in the stomach because it improves digestion. This in turn leads to weight loss as less fat can be absorbed by the body.ResourcesreferenceWeight loss theoriesreferenceACV recommended usereferenceHealth and weight loss benefits of ACV
