Apple cider vinegar has been regarded as a health food for a long time. As such, it’s even sold in supplement form. While very few of the beneficial claims associated with vinegar are supported by trustworthy evidence, there is research suggesting that apple cider vinegar has a beneficial effect on diabetes and weight loss. This information has given rise to the so called “apple cider vinegar diet” that consists of 2 teaspoons or tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with water and consumed twice per day.
Diabetes and excess body fat are two alarmingly common problems that are typically caused by excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates and sugar. Apple cider vinegar is believed to help prevent and reverse these two problems by moderating the high levels of blood sugar that result from eating these foods. In addition, it’s also believed that apple cider vinegar further contributes to weight loss by suppressing appetite.
The Importance of Balance
The major control systems of the human body, such as the autonomic nervous system, oxidative system and endocrine system, are all directly stimulated by diet. Because of the significant impact these systems have on health, keeping them in balance is essential to excellent health. We each have genetic strengths, weaknesses and tendencies within these systems, and as such, it’s important to balance them with the food we eat. This is the basis for the Metabolic Typing Diet.
Because apple cider vinegar is highly acidic, it has a strong effect on the body’s major control systems. For example, the acidity will increase the rate of oxidation and will stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. Anyone with a natural tendency for fast oxidation or sympathetic dominance will be pushed further in these directions. Long term, this imbalance will lead to organ and gland malfunction, and in turn, can eventually cause serious disease.
