Ever since the apple cider vinegar cleanse<\/a> burst onto the scene a couple years ago, dieters have been stocking up on the sour kitchen staple. Research has linked vinegar consumption to everything from less body fat<\/a> to less severe blood sugar spikes<\/a>.  So it\u2019s becoming more and more tempting to follow suit.<\/p>\n

\u201cVinegar comes from Latin meaning \u2018sour wine.\u2019 For thousands of years, it has been used for its health and cleansing properties. Hippocrates found a variety of medicinal uses for it back in 400 B.C. And more recently, we have some scientific studies pointing to apple cider vinegar improving insulin resistance<\/a>,\u201d says Adrienne Raimo, RD, a holistic health and wellness coach at One Bite Wellness in Columbus, OH.<\/p>\n

Apple cider vinegar contains B vitamins<\/a> and vitamin C, plus acetic acid, a compound that\u2019s known for boosting the absorption of minerals from the foods in our diet. It’s also been tied to clearer skin, lower blood pressure and better cholesterol levels<\/a>. At just three calories per tablespoon<\/a>, it\u2019s not going to make a big dent in your daily calorie budget.<\/p>\n

While this nutrition superstar is light in calories<\/a> and heavy on health benefits, step (or run far, far) away from any diet that suggests shooting it straight. \u201cEven though apple cider vinegar can provide several health benefits, dilution and dosage are important in safely consuming it. Taking straight shots of it will damage your tooth enamel,\u201d Raimo says. \u201cMore isn\u2019t always better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead, give these apple cider vinegar recipes to get your daily dose.<\/p>\n
