  4). Helps In Nutrient Absorption :- 

If the nutrients in the food you intake aren’t properly absorbed, then it is useless. Proper stomach acid enables proper nutrient absorption.
ACV increases metabolism, which ultimately results in proper nutrient absorption. The consumption of vinegar has also been found to increase the surface area of cells in the small intestine, thereby improving nutrient absorption. Surface area of cells is directly proportional to nutrient absorption. It means more surface area of cells, the more nutrient absorption will be there.

  5). Helps In Treating Candida :- 

Candida is a fungal yeast that lives on the surface of the skin. It grows in an acidic environment that is often the result of poor nutrition. As ACV maintains the pH balance in the body. It creates an alkalizing environment and promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria. This healthy bacteria helps cure candida.
The rich enzymes present in ACV regulates the presence of candida. As per a Brazilian study, the antifungal properties of apple cider vinegar can act against candida and offer therapeutic benefits.

Some More Surprising Benefits Of ACV :

ACV has been consumed for 2,000+ years! Historical records show that apple juice has been fermented into vinegar since before 5000 BC. Through the ages, apple cider vinegar has been used to stimulate circulation, aid in the detoxification of the liver, to purify blood, cleanse lymph nodes, and improve immune system response. In fact, Hippocrates often prescribed it for coughs and colds, when mixed with a touch of honey.

ACV is a product of fermentation as i told you in my previous article.Like all fermented products, apple cider vinegar is made using active yeast that is combined with sugar. In this case, it is naturally occurring sugar from crushed apples. The yeast actually consumes sugar and uses this to grow healthy bacteria, which is how fermentation takes place. The best apple cider vinegar for therapeutic and health wellness should be made from certified organic apples. Pasteurization is not required, and is not recommended for people using it for health benefits, as this kills all of the delicate nutrients and enzymes. The acidity of the vinegar is enough to prevent unhealthy bacteria (including E. Coli) from developing. After the fermentation process is completed, the result is the formation of acetic acid, the main beneficial compound found in apple cider vinegar.

ACV can appear murky and have “cobweb-like” strings, but this is a good thing.
This murky brown appearance of ACV, as well as the strands of yeast that may be present, actually clue you in to the fact that the cider is of good-quality. These strands are bits of live yeast, and they are actually alive. These contain the bacteria that once entered into the body, provide various healing benefits.

Warning: Certain studies have supported the benefits of ACV during pregnancy. However, these benefits can be attributed to only the pasteurized form of apple cider vinegar. Uncertainties exist with the unpasteurized form. To be on the safe side, it is best to avoid ACV altogether during pregnancy
