Apple cider vinegar is a popular condiment that can be incorporated into your diet in a variety of ways. Made from fermented apples, studies reveal that it is a significant link to weight loss. Dieters can consume the drink every day to help with losing weight as well as a number of other benefits it provides.
Though it’s gained mainstream popularity in the last decade, natural apple cider vinegar has been used for a very long time.
The popular condiment is made from fermented apples. This means covering chopped apples with water and leaving them to soak at room temperature until the natural sugars ferment.
While there are many ways to consume the drink, some ways may be more beneficial and tasty than others.
Apple cider vinegar should never be consumed in its concentrated form as it can damage the tooth enamel and should always be mixed with other beverages.
