It is prudent to understand that apple vinegar in its concentrated (undiluted) form may be a strong acid that ought to never be consumed raw.

Bile is a viscous yellowish liquid produced by the liver that helps to break down the dietary fats and to dispose of the leftover cholesterol and other toxins from the liver.

Consuming one tablespoon of apple vinegar early within the morning kick-starts the bile production to market fat breakdown and cholesterol decomposition.

A spike in the blood sugar level increases the cravings for snacks and unhealthy processed foods which is a big turn off if you are trying to shed a few pounds. According to a study published in the Journal of Functional Foods, apple cider vinegar helps to lower the blood sugar level. The participants who drank 8 ounces of water (mixed with vinegar) prior to the meals recorded low levels of blood sugar than those who didn't.
• Aids in blocking Carbohydrates (starch)
Gone are the days, when it was believed that carbohydrates are bad for health. The new age of dieticians recommends the consumption of carbohydrates on a regular basis to ensure a balanced diet.
The starch contained in carbohydrates has a tendency to quickly convert into glucose and stimulate the release of insulin in the body. Insulin triggers the storage of glucose in the form of fat. Hence, eating starchy food pushes your body into the fat storage mode.
How is apple cider vinegar going to help here?
The acetic acid content in the vinegar interferes with the body's ability to digest starch. It helps to reduce the storage of glucose in the form of fat. Over a period of time, this starch blockage activity would definitely have an effect on body weight.

Your gut contains trillions of probiotics (healthy bacteria) that help to break-down the complex food particles; combat the growth of disease-causing microbes and regulates the immune system. Apple vinegar acts as a catalyst for these probiotics. The probiotics feed on the pectins contained in apple cider vinegar for growth and development. Hence, apple vinegar helps to take care of optimum gut flora for smooth digestion and body metabolism.
