Last week I wrote an article about flaxseed oil mixed with yogurt TikTok fitness bloggers are all pushing! What exactly is "yogurt in oil"? I didn't expect that there were a lot of people in the comments who crooked the building, and asked me to pluck apple cider vinegar for them?
Apple cider vinegar.... When I was a child, my mother drank it every day for a while, saying that it could lose weight and soften blood vessels. And at that time, the popular is still korean brand apple cider vinegar, so many years have passed, how to fire back?
Glanced at the title of those apple cider vinegar, not surprised, nothing more than weight loss, detoxification of those effects, and dare to say the anti-cancer effect!
If you're too lazy to look, the simple answer is: apple cider vinegar is a healthy ingredient, the efficacy is not as exaggerated as it is said on the Internet, and it is important to buy the right type.
Apple cider vinegar vs ordinary vinegar, what is the difference?
The recipe for apple cider vinegar is a little different from ordinary vinegar.
Just chop the apple, add water or yeast, put it in a clean glass container, and wait at room temperature for it to ferment. (There are also practices that additional white vinegar or sugar are added to speed up fermentation)
The process of apple fermentation results in ethanol. But ethanol is not unusual, almost all vinegar has it.
The biggest difference between apple cider vinegar and other vinegars is the mother yeast that forms during fermentation. And this mother is also considered the most important nutritional part of apple cider vinegar. (As for whether it is or not, it is actually not yet conclusive)
But not all of the apple cider vinegar yeast will be retained, and some will filter it out.
The easiest way to judge is to see if the apple cider vinegar you bought is a little cloudy? Or is it clear? Muddy apple cider vinegar is the apple cider vinegar with mother.
In other words, if the apple cider vinegar you buy is crystal clear, it may not be any different from regular white vinegar.
Let's talk about whether we can lose weight!
In terms of calories, apple cider vinegar is still very good. Take the hottest Bragg, for example, 15 milliliters is almost 0 calories (most vinegar is this calorie), and 30 milliliters is no more than 10 calories.
So if you simply like the taste of apple cider vinegar and want to use it to help yourself drink water, it is OK from a calorie point of view.
But as for whether apple cider vinegar can help with weight loss?
There are indeed experiments that believe that apple cider vinegar can lose weight. But don't worry about opening the orange software! Listen to me two more words.
The first experiment was done in 2009 by a Japanese condiment company (mizkan). They tracked down 155 adults with obesity, divided into three groups, and drank a tablespoon (about 15 ml) of apple cider vinegar a day.
After 3 months, the group that drank apple cider vinegar every day lost an average of about 0.9-1.8 kg of weight per person, while the comparison group (those who drank regular drinks) did not change much.
Just looking at it this way, it seems to really work? This experiment has several bugs.
The study sample for this experiment was no more than 200 people.
If you lose 1.8 kg in 3 months, it is not very successful...
Companies that do experiments, they also sell apple cider vinegar, you taste:
In addition to this experiment, there has also been a randomized clinical trial in the American Journal of Functional Foods. Participants not only had to drink 15 ml of apple cider vinegar every day, but also controlled diet + exercise, not just drinking vinegar!
For 12 weeks, those who drank apple cider vinegar every day were more than those who did not drink it, and lost an average of 3 pounds (almost 1.3 kg) in 12 weeks.
Some theories suggest that apple cider vinegar can help with weight loss because it can affect the sugar rise of food, thereby achieving the effect of controlling appetite. But this is mainly because of the ethanol in apple cider vinegar, and all vinegar has ethanol in it.
I also read on the little red book that someone shared that he "drank apple cider vinegar and lost 10 pounds a month", took a closer look, and said that he wanted to drink a drink when he wanted to eat a snack. Isn't this essence the use of white water instead of snacks, and it is all due to apple cider vinegar.
To sum up, from the current clinical trials, apple cider vinegar may indeed have a positive impact on your fat loss, but the impact is very small, relying on it to lose 10 pounds a month is not to think, and even rely on it to lose 10 pounds in March.
If you like to eat it, eat it, apple cider vinegar as a whole is still a very healthy ingredient. For example, adding a little to the soda or using it to make a salad is fine. If you don't like to eat? Then there is no need to buy for efficacy. After all, there are many foods that have a positive impact on fat loss
Other than that, is there any benefit?
In addition to weight loss, apple cider vinegar has some other "effects", which are true and which are false?
1. Softens fish bones and even blood vessels?
Card fish bones, don't rely on vinegar! No vinegar is useful.
Secondly, the acetic acid in apple cider vinegar, after a series of processing, only a small amount of amino acids and organic acids, simply rely on drinking vinegar to soften blood vessels and lower blood lipids, it is really difficult.
Because vinegar is also digested, absorbed, and metabolized after entering the human body, effective acetic acid has been almost digested in the stomach and intestines, and there is not much chance to enter our blood vessels.
2. Can I cure constipation?
At present, there is no research that can prove that apple cider vinegar is helpful for constipation.
There are many causes of constipation, but the more common causes are too little water intake or insufficient dietary fiber intake.
Some people will say that "apple cider vinegar contains pectin, which is water-soluble dietary fiber, and contains probiotics because of fermentation", but in fact, the content of dietary fiber and probiotics in apple cider vinegar is relatively limited, if you buy apple cider without mother, very clear apple cider, the content is even less.
So if drinking apple cider vinegar helps improve constipation, it is likely that apple cider vinegar has helped you increase your water intake.
3. Does it help with digestion?
This is possible.
Apple cider vinegar taste is sweet and sour, so it can promote the secretion of gastric juice and saliva, especially for people who secrete too little stomach acid, they can help you.
But people with normal digestive function do not need vinegar to strengthen digestive function. If you have gastrointestinal problems, don't drink it in the morning on an empty stomach! Drinking apple cider vinegar (or vinegar mixed with water) on an empty stomach in the morning may also cause symptoms such as gastroesophageal reflux and abdominal pain.
So really, it's best to see a doctor if you have a problem, and food can only solve a small part.
Apple cider vinegar is healthy, but there are also some drawbacks
Overall, apple cider vinegar is really quite healthy food, if you usually like to eat sour food, it is really good to buy a bottle at home as a low-calorie seasoning. I especially like to add a little apple cider vinegar when cooking noodles, it is delicious
But don't expect it too much. From the current research, there is a lot of controversy about the safety and efficacy of apple cider vinegar as a therapeutic method.
Just like broccoli is healthy, it's also a healthy food. Let food return to food, don't use them as medicine.
In addition, if you like to drink apple cider vinegar, be sure to dilute it and drink it again, and don't drink too much (less than 30 ml per day is more appropriate).
If not diluted, it can easily corrode tooth enamel, damage the oral mucosa, and may even burn the throat.
If you can, it is best to rinse your mouth after drinking, or drink it with a straw, trying to avoid apple cider vinegar and tooth contact. Also, if you take other medications, ask your doctor for insurance.
I don't know if you have tried apple cider vinegar ~ what is your favorite way to eat!
