Apple cider vinegar is a popular remedy which is considered to be a good help when losing weight. It stimulates the metabolism, accelerates the breakdown of fats and reduces appetite. Some studies show that Apple cider vinegar can prevent acid reflux and to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
However, in high doses, Apple cider vinegar can harm the body. Dr. Frank Lipman, physician and renowned expert in the field of integrative medicine, said: “the recommended dose is one to three tablespoons a day. Apple cider vinegar is very acidic. If you drink it too much, it will cause nausea, a burning sensation in the throat and damage tooth enamel. And the blood sugar may fall to dangerously low levels”.

The expert added: “If you dilute the vinegar with water, that will only make it more flavorful and protect your teeth, but no more. For weight loss better not to drink Apple cider vinegar in its pure form, and add it to your marinades, salads and soups”.
The doctor also advised: “if you suffer from bloating, acid reflux or constipation, take before eating one tablespoon of diluted Apple cider vinegar. This will enhance the secretion of gastric juice and helps to cope with digestive problems. Just make sure you buy raw, unfiltered Apple cider vinegar in a glass bottle.”
Thus, if you do not exceed the recommended dose, Apple cider vinegar will bring the body only benefits.
