Vinegar for Fat Loss? Maybe it Can Do it All!
<br>
A week before my daughter was due my wife and I noticed an incredibly foul smell coming from one of the bedrooms in our house. Upon further investigation we discovered the source — a cup of spilled milk under the bed and into the carpet. The smell was beyond horrible and after throwing a variety of chemicals at the stench, nothing worked. That was until my father recommended a dose of water mixed with vinegar. After two treatments the smell was 100% gone. Amazing!
So I wasn’t surprised when I read that vinegar might also aid in weight loss in a recent study done in Japan. The study involved giving acetic acid to mice that were on a high-fat diet. The results found that the mice developed 10% less body fat than those who did not receive vinegar. The acetic acid is believed to activate protein producing genes that breaks down fat and prevents fat build up in the body.
Is this a breakthrough? The uses for vinegar are very well documented online, as is the health benefits of apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and others. Some of those health beneifts include: aiding the digestive system, reducing bad cholesterol, and reducing high blood pressure.
The next time you’re tempted to drown your salad with ranch dressing, try adding some everyday ordinary household vinegar and oil. The results just might surprise you. There are also dozens of Vinaigrette options you can buy from your local grocery store as well. Just make sure to read the labels. For other types of vinegars, check out this page at Wikipedia.
