Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is popular for weight loss, but understanding its scientific basis is crucial. According to expert Dr. Anu Agarwal, ACV helps manage weight by suppressing appetite and controlling blood sugar rather than directly burning fat. Studies indicate minor weight reduction over 12 weeks when paired with a balanced diet. It must be diluted (1-2 spoons in water) to prevent damage to tooth enamel and the throat. People with kidney issues or ulcers should avoid it. While not a miracle cure, it acts as a supplement to a healthy lifestyle. https://bhartiyanews24x7.net/%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%82%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%A4-%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%80-%E0%A4%96%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%B0-%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE-acv-%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%9A-%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%9C/
