Explanation

Apple cider vinegar is thought to have benefits for gut health. Studies show that vinegar can alter the types of bacteria in the gut, by introducting "good" bacteria into the gut. This can help make the gut healthier and improve digestion.

How It Works

  1. Gut Bacteria: One study found that vinegar can improve gut bacteria, which might help the gut work better.
  2. Probiotics: Another study showed that when apple cider vinegar is used with certain probiotics, it can make the gut healthier.

These studies suggest that apple cider vinegar might be a good addition to a healthy diet for better gut health. However, it is important to remember that more research is needed to fully understand its effects.
