What’s the Link Between Apple Cider Vinegar and Fasting?
If you’re up to date on the latest wellness trends, you know that apple cider vinegar (ACV) is *so* much more than a salad dressing. From a face glow-up to a cold remedy, ACV has tons of uses. It’s typically touted for its health benefits. But is it safe to drink ACV while you’re fasting? And will ACV break a fast? Here’s what you need to know before you sip.
Intermittent fasting diets
What’s the link between ACV and fasting? A research review suggested that consuming ACV may help you feel full, and it might also stabilize your blood sugar levels. Those are both helpful jobs when you’re fasting.
Just keep in mind that this research didn’t include folks that were fasting. It’s possible that ACV won’t have the same effects for people following an intermittent fasting (IF) diet. There are loads of different types of IF diets, but they all follow the same principle: blocking specific times for when you should be eating, and alternating between eating and periods without eating or undereating.
