Hi, loves! A healthy diet makes a healthy body.

It has acetic acids. Acetic acids has many health benefits such as protecting your body against bacterial growth, helping in controlling your blood pressure, decreasing you inflammation to help protect against diseases, supporting weight loss and promoting blood sugar control.
Apple cider vinegar can help kill pathogens, including bacteria or prevent then from multiplying. That means, it will help cleanse and rid your body of bacteria that it does not need, keeping you healthy and protected against diseases these pathogens may bring.
If you are having a hard time dieting, then drinking apple cider vinegar may be the solution to your problem. Some research suggests that apple cider vinegar helped slow the emptying of the stomach, which could help keep you feeling fuller for longer and aid in your weight loss.
High blood sugar? Try drinking apple cider vinegar. It has powerful blood sugar-lowering properties and thus supports blood sugar control. Of course, it's only for prevention, you should always drink your prescribed medicine when your blood sugar pressure reached unhealthy level.
It may also help in boosting your skin health by rebalancing your natural skin pH and improving the protective skin barrier. Some studies also suggests that it helps prevent yeast infections and some women often take apple cider vinegar bath in order to rebalance their flora's natural pH.
Additional Info:
Apple Cider may be used to make natural and organic cleaning products, face wash, skin toners, bug sprays and for products that treat infections linked to eczema and other skin conditions. Personally, I have tried using a skin toner that has apple cider vinegar in it and it works so well. I rarely get acne and when I do, it heals quickly.

You can incorporate apple cider vinegar into your diet by using it in cooking your meals and snacks. Diluting it in water and drinking it is also a good way to add it in your diet. The safest dosages range from 1-2 teaspoons to 1-2 tablespoons per day mixed in a large glass of water. Do not overdose, as there are also risks from drinking too much apple cider vinegar.
