🍎 Who else drinks apple cider vinegar in the morning? 🙋‍♀️ Before I go to bed, I add a little apple cider vinegar (ACV) to a glass of water and drink as soon as I wake up. I also will drink in water about half an hour before a heavy meal. It’s a simple habit that has been around for centuries, and while it’s not a miracle cure, research suggests it may offer several health benefits. Some of the reasons I enjoy it: ✅ Supports healthy digestion ✅ Contains natural acids that may help nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support a healthy microbiome (especially when paired with a fiber-rich diet) ✅ May help reduce the blood sugar spike after meals by slowing stomach emptying and improving insulin sensitivity ✅ Can help you feel fuller longer, which may reduce cravings ✅ Supports healthy metabolism as part of an overall healthy lifestyle ✅ Provides acetic acid, a beneficial plant compound found in fermented foods 🍽️ What about GLP-1? One of the exciting areas of research is how foods like apple cider vinegar may support our body’s natural GLP-1 production. GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone your intestines release after you eat. It helps: ✨ Tell your pancreas to release insulin when needed ✨ Slow stomach emptying so you stay full longer ✨ Reduce appetite and cravings ✨ Help regulate healthy blood sugar levels Scientists believe the acetic acid in apple cider vinegar may stimulate the release of GLP-1 and other satiety hormones. It doesn’t work anywhere near the level of prescription GLP-1 medications, but it may gently support your body’s own natural processes, especially when combined with protein, fiber, regular movement, and quality sleep. 🥗 The biggest key to a healthy microbiome is feeding it what it loves: • Colorful vegetables • Fruits • Beans and legumes • Fermented foods • Plenty of fiber ⚠️ A few tips: • Always dilute it to protect your teeth • If you have ulcers, severe reflux, kidney disease, or take medications like insulin or diuretics, talk with your healthcare provider first.
