Losing weight, boosting metabolism, and improving digestion are three common goals for those seeking a healthier lifestyle. Social media, wellness forums, and viral content have promoted hundreds of natural solutions to achieve this goal. However, few have generated as much attention as one beverage in particular , whose use has spread due to its potential metabolic benefits. Now, a new study puts it back at the center of the debate .
It's warm water with apple cider vinegar , a mixture that some experts link to fat burning, appetite suppression, and improved digestive transit. Research published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health tested its effects on 120 overweight or obese young people . Participants who drank between 5 and 15 ml of diluted vinegar daily lost up to seven kilos in 12 weeks . Their body mass index also dropped three points .

The study also found improvements in key indicators such as glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels . These improvements were greater the higher the dose of vinegar consumed. In contrast, those who drank a placebo showed no changes in these parameters. Although this trial has limitations, the authors highlight its value for future evidence-based dietary recommendations .
For its part, the specialized website Exercise Physiology points out that most previous studies on vinegar and weight loss were small and of low methodological quality . Even so, this new research reinforces the idea that apple cider vinegar could be useful as a nutritional supplement in cases of obesity. It should always be taken in moderation, diluted in water , and as part of a comprehensive health approach .
