today we're going to talk about apple cider vinegar and the real reason that it actually works to improve your metabolism there many kinds of vinegar that you usually find in the middle aisle of the grocery store and apple cider vinegar has been touted to be good for weight loss right I used to hear this all the time and I used to doubt it but this has now been studied and it actually works apple cider vinegar has been shown to reduce harmful body fat and help weight loss plus it actually tastes pretty nice as well you
can put into salad dressing you can you make it into a sauce or a glaze or you can add it to a stew so I want to tell you what changed my mind when I first heard that apple cider vinegar could help weight loss and I was watching people that I knew uh Swig down spoonful of it in the morning I thought that's got to be rubbish where's the science there's no reason that would actually work well as a scientist I keep an open mind and so when I see data uh new data on apple
cider vinegar that actually shows that there's an activity I actually have to take a look more closely at what's going on so first of all apple cider vinegar made from fermented apples it's got vinegar in it okay and vinegar is the chemical called acetic acid acetic acid and this simple chemical acetic acid prevents fat cells from growing up and from building up uh storing itself in adapost tissue the other thing that acetic have been shown to do is it turns down the genes the DNA that are responsible for lipogenesis for creating new fat cells and
so um acetic acid which is found in apple cider vinegar actually is like gene therapy it turns down the genes that actually makes your fat grow as well the other thing that acetic acid has been shown to do is it improves your body's response to insulin so it improves insulin sensitivity and that means that when you eat something with carbs or sugar in it it'll actually help to lower your blood sugar into healthier levels it's a process called euglycemia acetic acid from vinegar actually helps you get there so as it turns out vinegar is really
good for metabolic Health okay and this is all supported by clinical studies I want to actually cite one of them there was a study done in iich Japan that look at the impact of apple cider vinegar on body weight in 155 people between the ages of 25 and 60 and these people were considered obese in Japan now you know Japan has small thin people but these were people that um in Western countries might not have been considered obese but in Japan they were otherwise healthy all right and what they did they broke these people into
uh a couple of different groups one group got um low dose of apple cider vinegar that's only one tablespoon that's the low dose and the other another group got three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar that's not high dose all right um now what they did is they had the people consume the apple cider vinegar dissolved in a little bit of a beverage water so it actually prevents teeth damage and what they did is they had these people the subjects consume apple cider vinegar two times a day half of the glass of water in the morning
and the other half at some point during the day and there's a third group that actually just got a placebo no apple cider vinegar at all right so three groups Placebo lowd dose apple cider vinegar and high do apple cider vinegar and they did this for four weeks and what they found is that people that drank apple cider vinegar all right whether it's low dose or high dose began losing weight um uh after just about four weeks and people in the placebo group actually didn't and by week 12 this is a three-month study those people
who had three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar lost 4.2 pounds on the scale uh or 50% more than those people who had only one tablespoon of Apple CER vinegar so the uh the uh higher dose actually lost more weight and what was really interesting is that the placebo group did lose weight in fact the people taking the placebo actually gained weight while the apple cider vinegar group lost weight so this is actually a clinical study that proved exactly what I had doubted and this is the evidence that you have to pay attention to now here's
the other thing that was really interesting and I think the important part the apple cider vinegar drink ERS lost harmful body fat all right they lost visceral fat and their blood lipids actually also improved the lipid profile and their blood pressure also improved probably because they lost body fat now other apple cider vinegar Studies have also looked at different parameters and they found that people who drink apple cider vinegar take apple cider vinegar actually reduced waist circumference right now your waist circumference which is the belt around your waist actually uh expands when you got a
lot of visceral fat this is the harmful body fat and it shrinks when you actually lose your visceral fat and apple cider vinegar can actually shrink your visceral fat and Shrink uh your waist size okay so here are some vinegar Pro tips first of all when you go shopping for apple cider vinegar uh there's usually a bunch of choices and I encourage you to pick up uh the one that attracts you the most and look at the ingredient label you want to make sure it's just pure apple cider vinegar all right so many products uh
especially in the middle aisle have lots of other ingredients that you don't really want to put in your body so always look at the ingredient label that's number one uh number two is that uh uh you can do research online to see if a brand that you like actually has a good reputation or not all right so go ahead um and you don't want anything added to it but you also want to see if anybody else any con have any complaints uh about it now what you got to realize is that although apple cider vinegar
is the type of vinegar that was studied in the Japanese study for example that I cited and some others acetic acid is present in any vinegar so you could swap out apple cider vinegar for let's say white vinegar or black vinegar or red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar okay that's probably an expensive swap out or malt vinegar which you'd find in a pub for fish and chips or Sherry vinegar okay all of these will be beneficial because they all contain acetic acid that's a key thing that you need to know about any type of vinegar
actually uh work now how do you use these vinegars right because you don't actually have to um drink it uh out of a spoonful and by the way again come back to the pro tip here if you're going to do uh straight shots of apple cider vinegar I encourage you to actually put it into a glass of water because over time one once or twice it's not going to hurt you but over time if you have that super acidic uh liquid in your mouth you're going to dissolve the enamel on your teeth and you don't
want that hey I want to tell you about something real quick if you're enjoying this video then you'll want to check out my free guide on delicious summer recipes with the amazing variety of seasonal produce that's becoming available summer is one of my all-time favorite Seasons when it comes to healthy eating and for me cooking during the summer brings me a whole lot of joy and health at the same time so I'm sharing with you three of my favorite summer recipes straight from my own kitchen for you to try get the recipes right now for
free in the caption below now back to the video so diluting it out in a glass of water or some other beverage actually will be helpful you want to use water that's fine but if you want to find something else uh think about um tomato juice is another great way to actually put a little bit of apple cider vinegar it'll the flavor will actually disappear into the background especially if you don't like the taste of vinegar a little Tangy all right um uh here's another thing vinegar is really really easy to buy a bottle and
store it in your pantry so this is not something you got to go up and buy all the time as long as you buy it keep it in your pantry sealed up uh make sure the cap is really tight because if air gets in there you'll get more fermentation uh and a little layer will form it's called a mother you take it out you can still use it but uh that's something that you probably don't need to have happen want to have happen so seal it up make sure it's airtight put in a dark cool
place like your pantry all right and in fact if you store your vinegar properly it pretty much lasts forever all right uh so uh this is actually something this is actually something that really really keeps for a long uh time so now the other thing I think is for you to know is that you can use um apple cider vinegar and other vinegars acetic acid in salad dressings you can use it in uh sautes you can actually put it on something you're going to roast or bake lots of different ways to actually get apple cider
vinegar into your um body and just think about it one tablespoon or three tablespoons actually gives you benefit that's not very much at all anybody can actually do it hope you got something out of this and thanks for watching hi there if you enjoyed watching this video I know you'll love the next one stay here and check it out and I'll see see you there
