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.
