In recent years, Apple Cider Vinegar has become a global phenomenon in the wellness world. People are consuming it daily to manage their weight better. If you're looking to incorporate ACV in your diet but don't know how to get started, you're in the right place. We reached out to leading experts and nutritionists to learn more about how ACV influences our health. Here's their best advice.

"Apple Cider Vinegar has gained popularity in weight-loss conversations because, when used mindfully, it supports digestion and gut balance. Its mild acidity may help maintain the gut's pH balance, support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and reduce bloating, factors that indirectly support weight management," mentions Eshanka Wahi, culinary nutritionist and founder of Eat Clean With Eshanka.

  • Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) supports weight loss by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing blood sugar spikes, and increasing satiety, but it should be used alongside a balanced diet and exercise.

  • Experts recommend starting with 1 teaspoon, diluting it in water, using unfiltered ACV with "The Mother," and drinking it about 20 minutes before the largest meal.

  • Common side effects include tooth enamel erosion, throat irritation, and digestive discomfort; avoid excessive intake and consult a doctor if on insulin, diuretics, or with kidney issues.
