Many people often endorse apple cider vinegar (ACV) as a helpful aid for achieving a summer lean body. While it’s not a standalone solution, incorporating ACV into a healthy lifestyle can help with an outstanding figure. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and good habits are essential, but here’s how apple cider vinegar can be part of your body goals plan:
Benefits of apple cider vinegar
1. Appetite suppression:
The acetic acid in ACV increases feelings of fullness, helping reduce overall food intake. Studies show that acetic acid can slow stomach emptying, making you feel full for longer.
2. Blood sugar stabilisation:
ACV helps stabilise post-meal blood sugar levels and reduces insulin spikes. This can curb binge eating and reduce cravings, aiding in better weight control.
3. Boost metabolism:
Some research shows apple cider vinegar can increase basal metabolic rate, enhancing the body’s efficiency in burning fat.
5 ways to drink apple cider vinegar
1. Appetite stabilising water
Start your day with this drink to keep your appetite and blood sugar stable throughout the day. Mix 10ml of ACV with 250ml of warm water, adding fresh mint leaves. Ensure the water temperature doesn’t exceed 30 degrees Celsius. Let the mint soak for a stronger aroma. This drink can help you feel lighter and more energised!
2. Anti-craving elixir
Combat sweet cravings with this refreshing drink. Mix unsweetened lemon juice with unsweetened sparkling water, then add 10 ml of ACV. This tangy, low-calorie sparkling juice satisfies cravings and helps suppress appetite!
3. Detox water
For those with poor metabolism, try this potent detox drink. Blend three pieces of organic ginger to juice and add a tablespoon of turmeric powder and 10 ml of apple cider vinegar. Mix well to create a “ginger concentrate drink” favoured by Hollywood stars.
4. Fitness boost water
Replenish electrolytes after a workout with this drink. Mix 250ml of water with electrolyte powder, cold-pressed lemon juice, some ice cubes, and 10 ml of ACV. This drink helps quickly replenish electrolytes and boosts fat burning.
5. Radiant glow water
Enjoy a low-sugar, low-calorie drink that promotes glowing skin. Peel pink guava, add a teaspoon of acai berry powder, and blend with 250ml of water. Then add 10 ml of apple cider vinegar. Regular consumption can enhance skin brightness and promote smooth bowel movements because of its rich dietary fibre.
By incorporating these ACV drinks into your daily routine, you can support your body goals journey while enjoying a variety of delicious, health-boosting beverages.
