Why does apple cider help with weight loss?
Studies have found that apple cider vinegar helps you to lose weight because of the acid in the liquid, known as acetic acid.
The acid increases an enzyme AMPK, which scientists claim increases fat burning and decreases fat and sugar production.
Another study has found that people who drank a tablespoon of cider vinegar in water had lower glucose levels.
