Apple cider vinegar and flax seeds benefits
V informative, specially about our believes on supplements, what's your opinion about Apple cider vinegar and flax seeds.?
Hi VP, - Apple cider vinegar (ACV): It can slightly blunt post‑meal glucose spikes and may modestly reduce appetite/weight in some small studies, but there are no strong randomized trials showing meaningful long‑term cardiometabolic benefit. It can irritate the throat/stomach, worsen reflux, and erode teeth. If you enjoy it, use 1–2 teaspoons diluted in a big glass of water with meals, sip through a straw, and avoid if you have reflux, ulcers, low potassium, or take insulin/sulfonylureas (risk of lows). Flax seeds have better data. They add soluble fiber, plant omega‑3 (ALA). meta‑analyses show small drops in LDL and improved regularity. Use 1–2 tablespoons ground (not whole) daily in dahi, dal, salads, or atta (10–15% mix).
