00:00all right so now you're on board with
00:01why to have apple cider vinegar but what
00:03about when to have apple cider vinegar
00:05well in this video i'm going to cover
00:06what the research says and we're going
00:08to discuss some nutritional benefits of
00:10apple cider vinegar and i'm going to
00:11share with you how i incorporate it into
00:13my daily lifestyle which might help you
00:15on how to incorporate it into yours so
00:22so is it better to have apple cider
00:24vinegar in the morning or at night
00:26before bed this is a question i get
00:27asked all the time so let's go through
00:29some basic facts so that you can kind of
00:31come to an informed decision apple cider
00:33vinegar is acidic on the ph scale which
00:36can cause an issue for those who suffer
00:38from indigestion or heartburn so if that
00:40describes you you're going to probably
00:42want to have your apple cider vinegar in
00:44the morning where you have more time for
00:46it to digest and you're active and all
00:48that rather than before laying down
00:49before bed if you suffer from diabetes
00:51or if you're pre-diabetic there has been
00:53some research that shows that apple
00:54cider vinegar before bed can help reduce
00:57blood sugar levels so that might be a
00:59good choice for you however this does
01:01not replace your medication so
01:02definitely talk with your physician and
01:04keep going with your prescribed
01:05medication as well it is not a cure to
01:07diabetes in fact speaking of medications
01:10apple cider vinegar can have a negative
01:12effect on potassium levels and it could
01:14also interact with certain drugs that
01:16reduce your potassium levels in your
01:18body and that's including some diabetes
01:20medicines and as well as diuretics so if
01:22that describes you definitely you want
01:24to talk with your doctor about that also
01:25regularly drinking any type of vinegar
01:27apple cider vinegar or otherwise can
01:29lead to eroding your tooth enamel and
01:31that's important because you don't
01:33regrow tooth enamel once you lose it
01:34it's gone so you want to make sure that
01:36you're protecting it because your tooth
01:37enamel is what helps protect your teeth
01:39from decay and from disease so for that
01:42reason either in the morning or at night
01:43you're going to want to make sure to
01:44rinse your mouth out with water after
01:46having your apple cider vinegar just to
01:48make sure that it's not sitting on your
01:49teeth all the time and you definitely
01:51don't want to have straight shots of
01:52apple cider vinegar you want to have it
01:54diluted in water and we'll talk about
01:56how i do that in a little bit having
01:57apple cider vinegar before you break
01:59your fast in the morning can be helpful
02:01to reduce your overall blood sugar
02:03levels after you eat which will help you
02:04from having an energy crash and will
02:06also help you feel fuller when you're
02:07eating and breaking your bath so based
02:09off of those the bottom line is it
02:10really depends on your preference and
02:12any medical conditions or lifestyle
02:14choices that you're making on whether or
02:16not to have it in the morning or at
02:17night but let me show what my
02:19recommendations are for how i do it and
02:21how i found that it really works well
02:22for a healthy intermittent fasting
02:24lifestyle first you're going to want to
02:26dilute your apple cider vinegar in water
02:28you have about one to two tablespoons of
02:31apple cider vinegar in about one to two
02:34cups of water and diluting it is what's
02:35going to help you to reduce any effects
02:37on your mouth esophagus your teeth and
02:40all of that we want to reduce any impact
02:42while we're also getting the benefits of
02:44apple cider vinegar personally i find
02:46having apple cider vinegar before
02:47breaking my fast about 30 minutes ahead
02:49of time is the best choice for me
02:51because that helps reduce your blood
02:53sugar levels post eating it helps make
02:56you feel fuller it helps get your body
02:57ready with some minerals and nutrients
02:59before you're breaking your fast it
03:01helps reduce your risk for indigestion
03:03and acid reflux for when you do eat and
03:06it's also an easy way to just make sure
03:07you get it in for the day and i talk
03:08more about this strategy in my acv and
03:11intermittent fasting video which i can
03:13link for you below another time that i
03:15use apple cider vinegar is during my
03:17fasting periods but not before i'm gonna
03:19break my fast but after i've started my
03:21fast and that is because apple cider
03:23vinegar does not break your fast and in
03:25fact will actually help you feel fuller
03:27and more satiated longer while you're
03:29fasting so if i'm feeling really hungry
03:31after i've started my fast having some
03:33water with some apple cider vinegar in
03:34it is a really great way to kind of get
03:36rid of those hunger pangs and then move
03:38on having it during your fast is gonna
03:40also help to improve your fat burning
03:42potential it's gonna help you with your
03:44thinking while you're not eating it's
03:46going to help replenish some vitamins
03:47and minerals that are lost while you are
03:49fasting so it's a big win at that time
03:51of the day as well also if you just
03:53can't stomach the thought of having acv
03:55in your water and that's just not
03:56something that you enjoy there are some
03:58options for you you can add a little bit
04:00of lemon juice and some cinnamon and
04:02maybe even a little bit of raw honey and
04:04if you want my recipe for what i have i
04:06have an acv tonic that i can share with
04:08you in the description below as well but
04:10you can also have apple cider vinegar
04:12just mixed in a salad dressing or you
04:13can have it in a marinade if you're
04:15marinating some vegetables or your meat
04:17so having it just in general over the
04:19course of the day is perfectly fine
04:21doesn't have to be in water and i know a
04:23lot of you are going to ask me about acv
04:25pills and gummies and efficacy of those
04:28and really i can't give you a good
04:30answer because there's no real good
04:32direction from the fda on whether or not
04:34those are as beneficial there haven't
04:36been as many studies on those and more
04:38often than not those are cut with a lot
04:40of other ingredients which are going to
04:42have other impacts on your health and
04:44wellness so those are really the wild
04:46west right now so if you are looking for
04:48those benefits i would just recommend
04:50sticking to plain old apple cider
04:52vinegar and also keep in mind that apple
04:53cider vinegar is just not a miracle cure
04:55it's not going to cure everything it's
04:57not going to make you lose 10 pounds in
04:59a week it's just basically something you
05:00can add on to your healthy lifestyle as
05:02part of it as part of eating clean and
05:05unprocessed foods as part of getting
05:06daily exercise as part of drinking your
05:08water and getting good rest it's just
05:10part of the picture of a larger healthy
05:12lifestyle next check out my video on
05:14apple cider vinegar and intermittent
05:15fasting so you can see how you can
05:17combine those two for the best of both
05:18worlds and i will see you in the next
