The effects of apple cider
1. It can increase the feeling of fullness.
A previous study showed that drinking cider and high-carbohydrate foods together increased the feeling of satiety. Because participants did not feel a strong hunger, they consumed less for the rest of the day
This reduces caloric intake
2. Control blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
Drinking a certain amount of cider for a period of time can help us lower fasting blood sugar and postprandial blood sugar, improve the sensitivity of liver and muscle cells to insulin, and reduce cholesterol.
Experiments have shown that both visceral fat and subcutaneous fat are reduced to some extent. In particular, it has a significant effect on type 2 diabetic patients, who mainly have hyperglycemia caused by insulin resistance
Cider can help stabilize our blood sugar levels, even without diabetes
Many studies have shown that hyperglycemia can lead to many chronic diseases~.
3. Help improve PCOS.
PCOS is the acronym for polycystic ovary syndrome. All of our friends around us have this disease at one time or another. Irregular menstruation, not easy to get pregnant
A 2013 trial found that seven patients with polycystic ovary syndrome drank about 15 grams of apple cider a day for about 90-110 days. Among them, 6 cases improved insulin sensitivity and 4 cases had irregular menstrual cycles
If you have polycystic sisters, you can try ~
4. It helps to enhance gastrointestinal power and promote digestion.
If there is acid reflux and heartburn, it is due to insufficient secretion of gastric acid. Drinking apple cider can stimulate the secretion of stomach acid, which can alleviate these problems to a certain extent
Because cider is naturally acidic, for people with low stomach acidity, drinking cider can increase the level of stomach acid and thus promote digestion.
It can prevent bloating caused by slow digestion
People with high stomach acidity are not advised to drink too much, as everyone reacts differently.
Sisters with gastrointestinal problems can try it, but you can consult your doctor before drinking it.
Side effects of apple cider
The alcoholic acid in cider can weaken our tooth enamel.
Drinking cider over a long period of time can lead to mineral loss and tooth decay, so it is best to use a straw when drinking cider.
After drinking cider, it is recommended to rinse your mouth with a glass of water to prevent enamel damage.
2. Large amounts of cider can lower our body’s potassium levels.
In fact, potassium plays a very important role. It is involved in the metabolic process of glycogen and also maintains the body’s acid-base balance.
In addition, it maintains the normal excitement of nerves and muscles, as well as the normal function of the heart muscle.
Therefore, you must drink apple cider in moderation. If you think it is good for your health, you should not drink it blindly in large quantities
3. It can conflict with some medications.
Cider and cephalosporins together can affect the effectiveness of treatment and recovery from illness.
It can counteract the effects of diuretics and laxatives
For example, digoxin for heart disease, diuretic medications and some medications for diabetics can have some conflicts. You must consult with your doctor before taking them.
4. Not for patients with gastric ulcers.
Because cider can stimulate the secretion of stomach acid. Gastric ulcers are inherently wounds in the stomach. The secretion of stomach acid will irritate the wound and you will have a burning sensation.
How to consume cider properly
How do I eat it? How much should I drink per day?
Usually between 1 and 2 tablespoons (10ml-30ml)
It can be mixed with water or used in cooking. Direct consumption of cider is not recommended
The usual way to drink cider is to mix 1-2 tablespoons of cider with 300ml of water
If you want to lose weight.
Drink 15ml to 20ml a day is the most appropriate, do not drink as much as possible. According to research, this is the best dose of cider for dieters
It has the best effect on stabilizing blood sugar and insulin, especially with our diet, which is particularly prone to using high carbohydrates, which will be very effective
So for those of you who eat carbohydrates in Denton, give it a try.
If you want to suppress your appetite.
It is best to drink 20ml – 30ml a day.
If you don’t like cider, you can also use it as a condiment in your daily salad.
When is the best time to drink?
In fact, you can drink at any time depending on your personal needs.
Earlier, it was suggested that cider be effective before bedtime.
Studies have shown that drinking cider before bedtime does result in more stable insulin fluctuations in the morning, but if you can’t fall asleep after drinking cider, don’t drink cider at night!
In fact, drinking it in the morning on an empty stomach is a good choice. Especially in the morning, people may like to eat buns, fried pork and handmade pancakes, all of which are high in carbohydrates, so it is more appropriate to drink it on an empty stomach in the morning.
It is also good to drink before meals to increase the feeling of fullness. Nowadays, it can be difficult for people to cook their own meals and take them to the office at work. There are also many invisible carbohydrates in take-out, such as beef coated with starch.
The organic acids in cider help stop the invisible carbohydrates in take-out. In addition, cider is good for the health of the intestinal flora. Eating take-out will not cause stomach problems.
Cider Drink Sharing
The first glass of water we drink each morning is especially important, so we add a few new nutrients to that glass of water. Not only does cider help us reduce insulin resistance, but it also improves the absorption of protein, minerals and vitamins into the body.
So I usually add some vitamins and minerals as a supplement
Kinky powder is the king of vitamins. It replenishes the vitamins lost in summer, delays and inhibits the formation of melanin, and achieves whitening effect
Beetroot powder has the effect of lowering blood lipid, lowering cholesterol, improving body metabolism, anti-fatigue, improving body vitality in summer, and helping the body to eliminate endotoxin
If you want to control your appetite, you can add 25ml of apple cider
How to choose cider?
Take a look at the ingredients list. If the list of ingredients includes only water and apple juice, then it is better not to buy the sweetened one during the weight loss period.
If you want to buy cloudy cider, there is no big difference between clear cider and regular cider.
Lastly, I would like to say
Although cider has many advantages, it should not be used as a weight loss drug.
This does not mean that you can lose weight by drinking cider. There is no direct correlation!
If you think you can drink cider, you will be able to explode carbon. If you eat too much, you will get fatter!
Generally speaking, cider is a relatively healthy food. If you like sour foods, you can put a little in your salad as a low-calorie condiment. Sauerkraut is delicious.
Cider helps to lose weight
But it is only supplementary. As for other things, you still need to control your mouth and spread your legs to create a thermal gap.
