Apple vinegar is a kind of fruit vinegar fermented by apple, yeast and acetic acid bacteria. It contains some beneficial substances and the unique fragrance of apples.
The concentration of acetic acid in fermented apple vinegar is about 5-6%. It is a "weak acid". In addition to acetic acid, apple vinegar also contains trace amounts of other acids, vitamins and minerals. In animal experiments and human volunteer experiments, many studies have found that apple vinegar can promote fat burning, so it has the functions of reducing fat, lowering blood sugar, increasing insulin sensitivity of volunteers and improving blood cholesterol level.
The principle of reducing blood sugar by apple vinegar is that it can reduce the speed of food leaving the stomach and entering the lower digestive tract, thus reducing the peak value of blood sugar. However, the same effect may worsen the symptoms of gastroparesis. The so-called gastroparesis means that the nerves in the stomach can't work normally, resulting in food staying in the stomach for too long. Symptoms of gastroparesis include heartburn, bloating and nausea.

Apple vinegar contains pectin, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other vitamins, among which acid can dredge and soften blood vessels, improve human immunity and digestive system, and has a good health care effect on the body.
