It controls the level of sugar and insulin in blood

This is very good news for diabetics. According to a study whose results were published in the journal Diabetes Care, apple cider vinegar can reduce blood sugar after meals. On the other hand, a research carried out in 2007 showed that take a glass of water with vinegar before going to sleep help maintain stable blood sugar levels in blood overnight.
In another study, whose results were also published in the journal Diabetes Care, a group of people with insulin resistance drank a mixture of water and vinegar immediately before a meal. It was noted that patients who had taken the vinegar before eating had lower levels of insulin and a sensitivity much greater to this hormone, in comparison with the control group.
In other words, take a mixture of water and vinegar before meals and at bedtime may help patients with type 2 diabetes or those who are insulin resistant (pre-diabetic) to improve your sugar levels and insulin in blood.

Vinegar could reduce cholesterol

According to research published in the British Journal of Nutrition, fats in blood levels dropped dramatically in rats with acetic acid (substance found in vinegar) for 20 days. Is likely that Apple Cider vinegar also has a positive effect on the level of cholesterol and triglycerides in humans.

Take vinegar for weight loss

The results of a study that was published in a major European scientific journal showed that eat a bit of bread dipped in vinegar before the meal helps to increase the feeling of satiety and therefore helps to eat less. In this way, we can say that eating bread with vinegar can help to lose weight. Probably the bread with vinegar will not be very rich on the palate of the most people, but, instead, a glass of water could be taken with vinegar before each meal, to eat less and thus ingest fewer calories.

Relieve sore throat

Gargling with a dilution of water and vinegar helps to relieve discomfort in the throat, for its antiseptic and analgesic effect. After the gargle you must wash very well teeth (after - as a minimum-, 30 minutes) because the same enamel could be damaged with the acid in the vinegar. Ideally, rinse mouth with water (or mouthwash) after vinegar, to avoid that the pH will acidify. Once done, expected between 30 minutes to an hour to brush the teeth.
In conclusion, take a teaspoon of vinegar diluted in half a glass of water, three times per day could have many benefits for your health. However we must take certain precautions, because excess vinegar in food may cause gastric mucosa injuries and damage the enamel of the teeth. Remember that doubt, you should always consult your doctor's trust.
