Apple cider vinegar helps prevent cardiovascular disease

Drinking 1 or 2 tablespoons of fruit vinegar each day can help increase good cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, according to a recent study by American scientists.

Scientists from a Minnesota medical center believe that people who drink apple cider vinegar within 8 weeks can help increase HDL cholesterol - a healthy cholesterol - compared to those who don't to drink.

According to the Daily Mail , the team conducted experiments with 120 people. Half of the volunteers were asked to drink 1 to 2 tablespoons of fermented apple cider vinegar every day. Meanwhile, the other group only drank white water containing harmless colorings. The experiment took about 8 weeks.

Fermented apple cider vinegar or other fruit vinegar is often used to make dishes. Previous studies have also shown that apple cider vinegar works to relieve symptoms of arthritis and gout. Apple cider vinegar also works to lower blood sugar.

An independent study of diabetic animals also suggests that apple cider vinegar helps to increase good cholesterol levels and reduce harmful cholesterol - one of the factors that helps reduce the risk of disease. In addition, apple cider vinegar also works to accelerate the burning of body fat.
