What if we told you that the secret to a flat stomach costs mere pennies and is sold in any store?
No, it's not green tea or lemon water. We're talking about the drink your grandmother used for preserving food and nutritionists used to speed up your metabolism.
Yes, it's apple cider vinegar. And here's how it works.
Acetic acid, the main component of the drink, inhibits the activity of amylase, an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates.
As a result, sugar is absorbed into the blood more slowly, and the pancreas does not release insulin in “shock doses.”
Research confirms that daily consumption of vinegar reduces weight by 1-2 kg per month even without dieting.
A recipe that won't ruin your teeth
Mix 1 tbsp. vinegar, 200 ml warm water, a pinch of ginger and cayenne pepper. Ginger increases thermogenesis, and pepper accelerates the action of acid. Drink through a straw and rinse your mouth immediately - this way the enamel will remain intact.
When and how to drink
- 10 minutes before breakfast: will start your metabolism.
- Before a carbohydrate lunch (pasta, pizza): neutralizes the harm of starch.
- Never drink on an empty stomach - it will cause heartburn.
Mistakes that will ruin the result
Don't buy cheap vinegar with dyes. Look for the words "unfiltered" and sediment at the bottom.
Don't mix vinegar with soda. The bubbles increase acidity and irritate the stomach.
Don't expect miracles without changing your diet. Vinegar is an assistant, not a replacement for training.
It's not magic, it's chemistry. Add vinegar to your routine, but remember: even the most powerful catalyst won't work without your participation.
