I drink 2T apple cider vinegar with Mother- juice of one lemon and 1 t of minced garlic and add 4-6 ozs of water and chug it first thing in the morning on empty stomach and it naturally lowers blood pressure. I am off all meds….it works great! 👍🏼
Acetic acid seems to be a great lever to pull for fat loss! Down 100 lbs since 2023 following Thomas Delauer and drinking ACV! Thanks for a great video! Should add: 51 years old, 350 to 250 lbs, and Psoriatic Arthritis symptoms all but gone!
When and how do you take yours? When did Thomas put out the video, I appreciated what he stated along with Dr. Li and Dr. Berg. When do you take yours AM & PM?
@@JKThom-59 I sipped on an ACV mix during the day and I tryed to get more in the evening. At first that was all I did! That went on for a few months and I realized my arthritis symptoms were less. Then I started walking and changed my diet to more of a mediteranean keto. I added resistance training with bands and I increased my steps to around 10 to 15,000 a day on average! I'd love to loose another 30lbs but at this point, it is what it is and I am happy with it!
I love my organic apple cider vinegar. I have 2 tablespoons a day (separately) with a bit of organic honey (I put it in the glass first with a cm of boiling water to melt it) and fill the glass with water. Sometimes I squeeze in a little bit of lemon 🍋 First thing in the morning. Second glass before or after dinner.
BTW, so-called "balsamic vinegar is generally just vinegar with sugar and flavouring added. The genuine Balsamic vinegar is aged wine vinegar, aged for up to 100 years for top quality, it's a product of Modena, Italy. The age determines its cost, but even 10 years old is very costly...so go for apple vinegar, is my advice. I was once invited to a Balsamic vinegar tasting, yes, in Modena, they gave us a thimble-full at a time ;-) Viva Italia.
Balsamic vinegar is one of the most adulterated and / or faked foods of all time, right up there with olive oil/s, tomato sauce, honey & so many others. There are entire syndicates which rack in many billions via these adulterated food production industries per year. By the time these 'foods' get to us in North America, as well as England, Australia, they have been b@st@rdized beyond all recognition. If buying apple cider vinegar, make sure it has the 'mother' in it, a good layer of sediment. Even this isn't enough to be paying attention to, unfortunately, and could be faked. Look for reputable brands as well. Do some research before buying. Something you can do with apple cider vinegar is add your dry onion skins (loaded with quercitin), onion ends, garlic scraps, pieces of turmeric root or powder, chilli peppers, galangal, you name it to an empty *glass* mason jar, and pour your apple cider vinegar over this, to within an inch of the top of the container. Seal & lit sit for a good month. Shake every couple of days. This concoction makes a spectacular anti-flu / anti-viral drink. It can also be used in cooking, in homemade salad dressings, marinades, a hot vinegar & honey drink, even a muscle rub. Very very effective. I used exactly this mixture when I got the flu which has been marketed, propagandized & politicized to death over the past 4 years - along with NAC. This combination absolutely wiped it out, and prevented it from ever getting past my sinuses becoming stuffed up. I drank approximately a 1/4 cup per day, added to warm water, in doses throughout the day whenever I remembered to. The more the better. Amazing stuff! Leave the broken bones & associated things to medical doctors. Leave our health & wellness to ourselves & the practitioners who wish to help us support our health & wellness.

You want the "Mother" in your Apple Cider Vinegar because its the Mother that provides your microbiome (gut) with the food for your beneficial bacteria which is super important
Nope. The mother is leftover pulp and peel. It’s just there to prove that the vinegar is unfiltered. It has no nutritional value itself. You can toss it.
With the Mother is good bacteria created during the fermentation process. Without the Mother they just filter the good bacteria out.@@suzanneemerson2625
Yes, but be very careful because it’s also really bad for your teeth, it strips the enamel off quickly. My gf use to prepare her bottled water for work (hot factory job) daily with lemon. She did it through the whole summer, by Christmas her teeth were turning black.
If you buy apple cider vinegar with the “mother,” and shake it up before using it each time, it is a prebiotic and good for your gut. More benefits than just the plain apple cider vinegar.
Indeed. Also, you can buy Organic Apple Juice and use a bit of the vinegar with the mother and make your own vinegar from it forever using that Mother.
@@oregongreatgrandma7759 if you check out what he said vs now with what Dr. Gundry and Thomas Delaeur said …. I am now mixeing red with acv and shaking the bottles so I get all of it. I know it’s hard to figure out, but on e you check out what they all say and have been experiencing then you can figure out how to take this. Let me know how you’re using this.
OK, but I think there may be better prebiotics (I am thinking kefir). If your gut microbiota is too rich in vinegar mother biota you may be getting too much acetic acid in your system? I am not sure having very high levels of acetic acid is beneficial.
Dr. Li is the best. I have both of his books; they are real treasure troves!. A big thankyou and very best wishes from a Hungarian chick of 77 🙂from Austria
Bragg vinegar with the mother is no longer a quality product. This family-owed business was bought out by corporate America and the quality has deteriorated, based on their trying to make the most money for the least quality.
I agree, and it's hard to find it with mother. All it has is a layer of soot on the bottom that's nothing like mother. Kombucha too no longer comes with mother. And it doesn't even have any soot in their bottles.
My experience, it also lower your blood pressure. My blood pressure dropped to 77/48. So be careful, check your blood pressure before taking meds if using ACV
Putting it in a salad with other ingredients is Not drinking it straight. Knowledge is power and those looking to learn REALLY appreciate being educated to improve their health
I am reading Dr Li's books but really appreciate all these short videos and emailings with tips, free of charge and keeping me focused on "food for medicine"
I knew an old man who eat fresh god and chips everyday, he lived into his 90's and he always put plenty of vinegar on his chips. I reckon it broke down the bad fats in the unhealthy chips. well they use vinegar in English fish and chip shops to clean greasy counters.
Well, as somebody who has tried and continues to take people who take a spoonful of apple cider vinegar directly are gonna hurt that esophagus it doesn’t work that way you’ve got a glass of water and add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar stored icy. I also put a few cubes of ice. It becomes a delicious drink, do not make it too concentrated because it can actually hurt you
It will also destroy your teeth! so yes just a little dilute in water a couple of times a day or 30 minutes before a meal. A teaspoon is enough as can upset the gut.
I was diagnosed with a(nonalcoholic) fatty liver after a blood test . I had heard about ACV and here’s my creation… After being on it for a 3 months, my numbers were back to normal with my liver👏 Ice in a glass with low sodium V-8 juice (I had to watch my salt intake) Two shots of Braggs ACV Use a straw to protect your teeth… Garnish with a celery stick etc. You’re basically having a bloody Mary or Caesar(if you’re Canadian like me) except without the vodka or Clamato😢GL i’m going to get on the regime again to go for a weight loss🤞🏼🤞🏼
I love V8 but the sugar in it is a problem, having fatty liver also. Even with the numbers going back down there is damage to the Liver that if you want to reverse sugar should be avoided at all costs. You'd do well to make it yourself and leave the fiber in too.
It's great with V8 low sodium as well. Makes sense with the low sodium because it's hard to get away from all of it within our food base . I use organic vinegar (Braggs) just to make sure it's pure.
@@ThomasCary-m1h No offense but V8 is way not organic, so not much point using organic vinegar in it. You can go organic and geet your own veggies and roast or steam them, and blend them in a plain old blender -just sayin'
I like balsamic pear! Yes pears change your circumference. ALSO here blackberries have data that shows that blackberries help specifically males loose weight!!!
Dipping my toes into the carnivore lifestyle. The purists say no fruit, no veggies. Just meat. But i've really been enjoying my salads. I use a packet of Good Seasons dressing, which calls for oil and vinegar. So after watching this video, I'm heartened to keep those salads up. And I'll be using Braggs acv, with a combo of olive and MCT oils - for a double whammy 🙂
ACV increases the acidity of the stomach which is good since food will be better digested and nutrients better absorbed. Also good because the high acidity will trigger the esophageal sphincter to close and prevents reflux. We should strive for a more acid gut which is more natural for humans, and avoid antacids and ph changing waters.
I use Fairchild brand. I put 3 tablespoons in a glass container and keep in fridge daily. II drink all day. I’ve gotten addicted to it. It takes a little bit to get used too.
Yes, I do too. Lucky for me for them to be local. It’s quite a bit different than Bragg’s which I’ve come to find out is watered down. That’s a good idea making it up ahead as a beverage (I’m assuming you add water to it).
You are an excellent teacher on health and nutrition and you are making such a huge difference in the world to help people improve their health and longevity! Thank you😊 I have a question... I just started taking 20 mg of a blood pressure medication 6 months ago.... so, is it safe to take apple cider vinegar now?
Fairchild's is the best organic ACV with the mother, better than Braggs now. I've had great results with maintaining weight, as well as great for preventing colds and flus; especially if you still have your tonsils.
I drink it in hot water with lemon, turmeric,cayenne, ginger. It’s a great start to the day. Helps you last if your IF. Just make sure it has “mother” in the ACV. I’ve only being doing it a month and has reduced my belly fat by half.
In a tea cup or coffee cup add: Quarter teaspoon of turmeric powder and same with ginger (I use jar ginger) Sprinkle each of cayenne and cinnamon. Capful of ACV. Squeeze of lemon. Fill half cup with boiling water. Cool or add splash cold water. Stir and drink like tea. Can add honey if too sour for you. Helps digestive issue, bladder, nausea , metabolism and inflammation. Brush teeth 20 mins later.
I typically put a T in water with electrolytes and drink throughout the day. I recently heard I should be drinking the water with ACV quickly and rinsing mouth after to prevent tooth erosion.
I wonder if the ACV with honey and cayenne in it is as good as plain acv. It tastes FANTASTIC. And i actually prefer it to all other dressings. The regular ACV is tolerable but not delicious. The other one is great.
I've never seen Fairchild in any of the stores here in Florida, Where did you find it other than online ? I heard Dr Berg talking about how good this brand was....
Bragg was always my goto. They have changed their product- guessing they were bought out as many longstanding trusted brands before them. BIG FOOD is not our friend:( I’ll be shopping for Fairchild. Thank you.
A lot of responses to this video. I had my gallbladder removed and have issues. I am on a strict fat budget. I like Dr. Li-s' recommendation of 2-3 tablespoons of a good extra virgin olive per day. I can disperse this by replacing my butter to cook an egg, drizzle on a roast chicken or make a salad dressing with EVOO and apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard. I could even just have that dressing on a sliced tomato with fresh basil or smash a sardine into the dressing and spread it on toasted sour dough bread. Drinking it does not appeal to me and I don't mind the tangy taste. I am glad that Dr. Li likes to cook, because I am a foodie. Very helpful!
@AWAW-z8r - Thanks for responding. Today marks the one year anniversary of my surgery. It has been a challenging long haul, but I am feeling well. Feeling whole again. I learned so much, especially being on a modified Mediterranean diet. I am off red meat, fried and processed foods. No caffein, but I am trying decaf coffee and tea this month. Really miss coffee and seem to be tolerating it. Had to replace chocolate for carob along with other substitutions. All this is working out great! Good luck to you on your health journey. I feel like I have been handed a second chance. ~ Diane
@@dianehall5345 congratulations on your one year mark. Changing eating habits is one of the hardest things we can do and you did it! Was the dressing you described Mediterranean inspired? I didn't make it yet but it's been on my mind. mmmm
@AWAW-z8r - I believe I got it out of my cookbook, entitled 2024 No Gall Bladder Cookbook or a similar one. These books count your daily fat intake, but thankfully allow olive oil. I'm sure my Mediterranean cookbooks offer the same delicious dressings. I just bought My Greek Table by Diane Cochilas. That is also a very good one.
@@dianehall5345 I just tried the dressing today with the sardines. YUM. Well, there's some left over. I think I may also try it on an everything bagel when I want something super savory. Somewhere they said increase fats to remove gallstones. I have one. I guess it's more olive oil for me! Thanks for the recipe. I've gotten away from buying cookbooks. I don't even like to follow recipes. I'm someone who is just inspired by recipes. LOL then I do my own thing. Unless it's something very delicate or complicated. And only the first go round. ha. Cheers!
@@Melissa-pb6wv I've been doing this for years. I don't recall the immediate results when I started. I don't have any stomach issues (main reason I started it) and have kept with it since I like the taste.
@@ritalafleur4417 I normally make a gallon at a time with: 2c lemon juice, 2c ACV, 2c sweetner and the rest water. It's strong so you might want to dilute it. I also mix it with tea. Occasionally I mix: 1-2 Tbsp ACV with 1 Tbsp lemon with sweetner and 12 oz water 3-4 Tbsp sweetner. Getting the mix of sweet and tart for you preferences it the key.
This happened because you have a weakened lower esophageal sphincter probably a hiatal hernia which the sphincter doesn’t close and so the acid backs up onto the throat causing heartburn
I don’t know why, but I never thought of mixing the apple cider vinegar with tomato juice. I could always drink it with water in the morning, but unless I used it on a salad or added it to a green smoothie, I never got more than one dose a day. It’s yummy in tomato juice!
Dark chocolate vinegar does as good or better tha ACV and is much easier to take. That said it also costs 2 to 3x more than ACV. Esther one is good. Another thing it helps with, at least with me, if i remeber to drink the chocolate vinegar or ACV it gets rid of my heartburn so i save on heartburn meds while burning fat.
Just research yourself about salt, etc... do not ever use basic table salt always use Celtic salt gray Celtic salt or pure Himalayan pink... The rest is garbage, can give you high blood pressure and other issues.... Please do not take my word please research Barbara O'Neill is amazing and knowledgeable... Search Barbara O'Neill and salt...
Two tablespoons ACV + stevia + 12-16 oz. water . Drink through a straw bypassing teeth. Still have to take a cough drop afterwards though. Damn, after listening going for 3 tbsp.
A straw maybe reduce the issue over the front of the teeth only, but don't solve it completely, even if you take small sip, since the liquid can't go directly inside the throat. Also don't seem something so great take something so acid,alone. Take a supplement instead can bypass these concern but the problem if find something valid and they are always more expensive too.

@@nonsolorasatura9093… drinking from a straw, does bypass liquids from touching your teeth because your tongue conforms to a ‘u’ shape that acts like a damn, keeping drink away from teeth. Drink from the straw. Don’t use a straw then swish the liquid around.
I like ACV with water and grated ginger root and a touch of stevia or you can juice an apple and add cinnamon with the vinegar in water with stevia. I did loose weight doing this but stopped when I thought I smelled like vinegar. I did 2 Tbs in a big sports bottle so I think I’ll do 1 Tbs as recommended. Thank you for this great advice and reminder. It helps that I love vinegar 😅
I grew up eating vinegar on many of my veggies and even meats. We as kids loved it. So, I can drink ACV (with the mother) effortlessly! However, I never lose ANYTHING!!!! My sister and I both tried this; I must have attempted it over 3 times but loss nothing! What am I doing wrong?
@@karmelabun1999 It's been two months. How's it going? If you were still enjoying plenty of carbs, the ACV was probably keeping you from GAINing weight but once you reduce the carbohydrates, your body could let go of more fat.
This is exactly what I was wondering. Unless all 3 groups followed the same diet and activity levels, how do you know if weight loss had anything to do with ACV? I wish Dr Li would have included this information.
@Aurora and @diana If you can't have acv, then try drinking warm/hot water with half to 1 teaspoon turmeric powder. It has almost the same health benefits as drinking acv water and doesn't cause acidity issues. If you are drinking a 1liter bottle of hot water with 1 teaspoon turmeric plus a pinch of pepper powder during the day, it will improve your immunity, take care of blood sugar, also help in weight management. Hope this helps. 😊
@@Stamina35 thanks for replying. What brand of milk thistle do you use? Is is powdered or liquid form? Lastly, how many times a day do you take it? Thanks in advance.
Hellp Dr Li. First of all, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for everything that you do. I have learned a lot from you and is following your advice on healthy eating. I am curious about how healthy quinoa is. Can you talk more about it please?
Yes, the mother portion is what contains the most important ingredients in the ACV. Just be sure to shake the bottle well as the mother settles at the bottom.

@@survivormary1126 you are right, if I was younger I would do it, but 81 years old, I am not sure. Talking to my doctor forget it, it is no use. Changing to another doctor impossible. Looking up website about something is often no use either, you find answer for one question for something and right under against it. I like Dr. Li and have his book and follow him on RUclips. But thanks for letting me know, I will try this again. Take care
Are the apple cider capsules as effective if one despises the taste of the vinegar? Also, is there any similarities between the apple cider and vinegar to achieve weight loss?
My body says "nope" to apple cider vinegar. As soon as it goes down, it comes up again. I have tried disguising it in all kinds of things, but my body knows it's there and gets rid of it asap.

Dr Ken Berry calls your diet “ketovore.” Watch him also. He calls this the proper human diet
MCT oil makes me poop my guts out!!!
Bragging sold their company, look for another organic brand.
@@ronaldzack4078that happens to some people. They should consider using goat milk instead.
I suggest not to use Braggs….they are using GMO apples to make their vinegar. Find another organic brand
I bought your 2 books, Doctor! Love from the Philippines🇵🇭. ❤
ACV increases the acidity of the stomach which is good since food will be better digested and nutrients better absorbed. Also good because the high acidity will trigger the esophageal sphincter to close and prevents reflux. We should strive for a more acid gut which is more natural for humans, and avoid antacids and ph changing waters.
Other vinegar = pickle juice … or make a virgin Bloody Mary … with pickle juice and / or ACV
I thought apple cider vinegar with the mother was the best kind to buy. Is that correct?
I use Fairchild brand. I put 3 tablespoons in a glass container and keep in fridge daily. II drink all day. I’ve gotten addicted to it. It takes a little bit to get used too.
Yes, I do too. Lucky for me for them to be local. It’s quite a bit different than Bragg’s which I’ve come to find out is watered down. That’s a good idea making it up ahead as a beverage (I’m assuming you add water to it).
This absolutely wonderful, special coming from You Dr. Li…😊🙏🙏
I cannot leave without an ACV it’s way to go ❤thanks Doc😊
"Summer is one of my all time favorite seasons"
Thank you, Dr. Li, for continuously educating us about maintaining a healthy diet.
You are an excellent teacher on health and nutrition and you are making such a huge difference in the world to help people improve their health and longevity! Thank you😊 I have a question... I just started taking 20 mg of a blood pressure medication 6 months ago.... so, is it safe to take apple cider vinegar now?
Good question. Anyone on blood pressure meds should find out possible impact of drinking organic apple cider vinegar daily.
What do you think about app,e cider capsules instead of liquid vinegar
Fairchild's is the best organic ACV with the mother, better than Braggs now. I've had great results with maintaining weight, as well as great for preventing colds and flus; especially if you still have your tonsils.
Txs for the tips😊....God bless....Esther from Kenya
I drink it in hot water with lemon, turmeric,cayenne, ginger. It’s a great start to the day. Helps you last if your IF. Just make sure it has “mother” in the ACV. I’ve only being doing it a month and has reduced my belly fat by half.
Hi! Why the combination? What quantity of each spice and how much water? Thanks!
In a tea cup or coffee cup add:
Quarter teaspoon of turmeric powder and same with ginger (I use jar ginger)
Sprinkle each of cayenne and cinnamon.
Capful of ACV. Squeeze of lemon.
Fill half cup with boiling water. Cool or add splash cold water. Stir and drink like tea. Can add honey if too sour for you.
Helps digestive issue, bladder, nausea , metabolism and inflammation.

@@wholeenchilada9599 Thank you so much! I cannot wait to try it.
Forgot to ask - how many timesa a day do you drink this mixture?
@@pennimoore3834 you’re welcome ☺️
I typically put a T in water with electrolytes and drink throughout the day. I recently heard I should be drinking the water with ACV quickly and rinsing mouth after to prevent tooth erosion.
Straws. Then whatever you’re drinking doesn’t touch your teeth.
Not true. Apple cider vinegar is of no danger to your teeth.
I wonder if the ACV with honey and cayenne in it is as good as plain acv. It tastes FANTASTIC. And i actually prefer it to all other dressings. The regular ACV is tolerable but not delicious. The other one is great.
Sounds interesting. Could you provide the amounts of each that you use? Thanks
I've heard that the best ACV is not Bragg (diluted)....it's Fairchild better than Bragg.
I've never seen Fairchild in any of the stores here in Florida, Where did you find it other than online ? I heard Dr Berg talking about how good this brand was....
@@usatrooper5045Braggs was bought by Bill Gates and Katie Perry. It’s not the same anymore. I wouldn’t want anything Bill Gates is involved in.
Bragg was always my goto. They have changed their product- guessing they were bought out as many longstanding trusted brands before them. BIG FOOD is not our friend:( I’ll be shopping for Fairchild. Thank you.
A lot of responses to this video. I had my gallbladder removed and have issues. I am on a strict fat budget. I like Dr. Li-s' recommendation of 2-3 tablespoons of a good extra virgin olive per day. I can disperse this by replacing my butter to cook an egg, drizzle on a roast chicken or make a salad dressing with EVOO and apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard. I could even just have that dressing on a sliced tomato with fresh basil or smash a sardine into the dressing and spread it on toasted sour dough bread. Drinking it does not appeal to me and I don't mind the tangy taste. I am glad that Dr. Li likes to cook, because I am a foodie. Very helpful!
that sounds YUMMY! I'm gonna try that today.
@AWAW-z8r - Thanks for responding. Today marks the one year anniversary of my surgery. It has been a challenging long haul, but I am feeling well. Feeling whole again. I learned so much, especially being on a modified Mediterranean diet. I am off red meat, fried and processed foods. No caffein, but I am trying decaf coffee and tea this month. Really miss coffee and seem to be tolerating it. Had to replace chocolate for carob along with other substitutions. All this is working out great! Good luck to you on your health journey. I feel like I have been handed a second chance. ~ Diane
@@dianehall5345 congratulations on your one year mark. Changing eating habits is one of the hardest things we can do and you did it! Was the dressing you described Mediterranean inspired? I didn't make it yet but it's been on my mind. mmmm
@AWAW-z8r - I believe I got it out of my cookbook, entitled 2024 No Gall Bladder Cookbook or a similar one. These books count your daily fat intake, but thankfully allow olive oil. I'm sure my Mediterranean cookbooks offer the same delicious dressings. I just bought My Greek Table by Diane Cochilas. That is also a very good one.
@@dianehall5345 I just tried the dressing today with the sardines. YUM. Well, there's some left over. I think I may also try it on an everything bagel when I want something super savory. Somewhere they said increase fats to remove gallstones. I have one. I guess it's more olive oil for me! Thanks for the recipe. I've gotten away from buying cookbooks. I don't even like to follow recipes. I'm someone who is just inspired by recipes. LOL then I do my own thing. Unless it's something very delicate or complicated. And only the first go round. ha. Cheers!
My favorite way to drink ACV is 'Sweet and Sour' lemonade: water, lemon (or lime) juice, ACV and stevia. I normally drink 4 or 5 glasses per day.
Is it working for you?
@@Melissa-pb6wv I've been doing this for years. I don't recall the immediate results when I started. I don't have any stomach issues (main reason I started it) and have kept with it since I like the taste.
Do you add 1 tblsp per glass????!
@@ritalafleur4417 I normally make a gallon at a time with: 2c lemon juice, 2c ACV, 2c sweetner and the rest water. It's strong so you might want to dilute it. I also mix it with tea.
Occasionally I mix: 1-2 Tbsp ACV with 1 Tbsp lemon with sweetner and 12 oz water 3-4 Tbsp sweetner.
Getting the mix of sweet and tart for you preferences it the key.
@@hbrown1969 I'd think though after time this would be hell on your teeth....?
This happened because you have a weakened lower esophageal sphincter probably a hiatal hernia which the sphincter doesn’t close and so the acid backs up onto the throat causing heartburn
This happens because the stomach acid is insufficient to trigger proper closing of the sphincter
Nope. @user-jx5jm2xp8l has got it right.
I don’t know why, but I never thought of mixing the apple cider vinegar with tomato juice. I could always drink it with water in the morning, but unless I used it on a salad or added it to a green smoothie, I never got more than one dose a day. It’s yummy in tomato juice!
Thank you, Dr. Li for confirming that these benefits from using Apple Cider Vinegar is not lay information ❤
Dark chocolate vinegar does as good or better tha ACV and is much easier to take. That said it also costs 2 to 3x more than ACV. Esther one is good. Another thing it helps with, at least with me, if i remeber to drink the chocolate vinegar or ACV it gets rid of my heartburn so i save on heartburn meds while burning fat.
If it is the acetic acid, can other types of vinegar be used? I can’t stand the taste of apple cider vinegar. The smell alone makes me nauseous.
Dr Li would you be interested to do a video on salt, sodium chloride and potassium chloride which should be eating?
Check out this lady that has the most excellent explanation. Living Springs Retreat - Salt & Water - Barbara O'neill, on youtube.
Just research yourself about salt, etc... do not ever use basic table salt always use Celtic salt gray Celtic salt or pure Himalayan pink... The rest is garbage, can give you high blood pressure and other issues.... Please do not take my word please research Barbara O'Neill is amazing and knowledgeable... Search Barbara O'Neill and salt...
When is the best time to take it before a meal? After ? Morning? Before bed? Thanks
Yes
@@blankblank4130 thanks doctor
I have heard from others on you tube, like. Glucose Goddess to drink it before a meal.
Two tablespoons ACV + stevia + 12-16 oz. water . Drink through a straw
bypassing teeth. Still have to take a cough drop afterwards though.
Damn, after listening going for 3 tbsp.
A straw maybe reduce the issue over the front of the teeth only, but don't solve it completely, even if you take small sip, since the liquid can't go directly inside the throat.
Also don't seem something so great take something so acid,alone.
Take a supplement instead can bypass these concern but the problem if find something valid and they are always more expensive too.

@@nonsolorasatura9093… drinking from a straw, does bypass liquids from touching your teeth because your tongue conforms to a ‘u’ shape that acts like a damn, keeping drink away from teeth. Drink from the straw. Don’t use a straw then swish the liquid around.
Put it into a glass of COLD water with a little salt. Pretty good!
IF it's sea salt and NOT table salt, that no one should be using. :)
always drink with straw even if its diluted with water...
Why?
@@maryheathermcmunn3799 the acidity will wear down the enamel on your teeth.. I personally rinse my mouth thoroughly afterwards.. to be even more sure
@@KakaCat99 complete & total rubbish advice., completely false.
Very good information for weight loss... thank you Dr Li
Thank you Dr. Li! I am starting this right now!🎉🎆🎉
I like ACV with water and grated ginger root and a touch of stevia or you can juice an apple and add cinnamon with the vinegar in water with stevia. I did loose weight doing this but stopped when I thought I smelled like vinegar. I did 2 Tbs in a big sports bottle so I think I’ll do 1 Tbs as recommended. Thank you for this great advice and reminder. It helps that I love vinegar 😅
sounds delicious.
Easy to make own ACV.
Dr Li, there is something called Apple Cider Vinegar Elixir.
Always great advice!! thank you!
Does balsamic vinegar also work? I use it as a salad dressing routinely.
No
I grew up eating vinegar on many of my veggies and even meats. We as kids loved it. So, I can drink ACV (with the mother) effortlessly! However, I never lose ANYTHING!!!! My sister and I both tried this; I must have attempted it over 3 times but loss nothing! What am I doing wrong?
Eating to many carbs & sugar...
@@philleggitt3005 I do! I always thought that the purpose of the acv what's to block the carbs, so that I could still enjoy them. Thank you so much!
@@karmelabun1999 Nope. But that visceral fat you can't see will kill you, and it helps with that.
@@survivormary1126 I have to try this again. Thanks.
@@karmelabun1999 It's been two months. How's it going? If you were still enjoying plenty of carbs, the ACV was probably keeping you from GAINing weight but once you reduce the carbohydrates, your body could let go of more fat.
I put in my salad with EVOO as a salad dressing.
Hi! What is EVOO?🤷♀️
@@pennimoore3834it’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil. 😊
Did all 3 groups follow the same diet, caloric intake, exercise routine?
This is exactly what I was wondering. Unless all 3 groups followed the same diet and activity levels, how do you know if weight loss had anything to do with ACV? I wish Dr Li would have included this information.
Thoughts on the best time to take it?
I really want to drink acv in water, like 1 tbsp in 16 oz water, problem is I can’t tolerate it, I get nauseous. I give up on acv.
Me too.
@Aurora and @diana
If you can't have acv, then try drinking warm/hot water with half to 1 teaspoon turmeric powder. It has almost the same health benefits as drinking acv water and doesn't cause acidity issues. If you are drinking a 1liter bottle of hot water with 1 teaspoon turmeric plus a pinch of pepper powder during the day, it will improve your immunity, take care of blood sugar, also help in weight management. Hope this helps. 😊
What about apple cider gummies?
Make sure to mix ACV in a glass of water and dink through a straw. ACV balances sugar levels.
2 Tbs of ACV 1 TBS of Lemon Juice 1 TBS of Milk Thistle and 2 dashs of cyan pepper in a 7 ounce cup of water
How effective is this? How many times a day do you take this?
@@divakim206It's very effective. Just make sure to use a straw to protect your teeth.
@@Stamina35 thanks for replying. What brand of milk thistle do you use? Is is powdered or liquid form? Lastly, how many times a day do you take it? Thanks in advance.
@@Stamina35 effective for what?
When should you take it?
Can someone please summarise this. Thank you in advance ❤
It is easy to make and I find many other vintagers. I like pineapple vinegar.
Have it with lemon juice ( real lemon ) then taste is not so bad
More than 1 T. Apple cider vinegar diluted causes me to suffer uncontrollable waterfall urine gushing (only when reclining and then standing up). 😩
Will ACV tablets have the same effect?
Hellp Dr Li. First of all, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for everything that you do. I have learned a lot from you and is following your advice on healthy eating.
I am curious about how healthy quinoa is. Can you talk more about it please?
I tried this but ended up with chronic feminine yeast infections. Any tips for getting the gut benefits without this very irritating side effect?
I understood you should use the Braggs brand that has the mother in it?
Yes, the mother portion is what contains the most important ingredients in the ACV. Just be sure to shake the bottle well as the mother settles at the bottom.
Braggs is not as good as it used to be to be, since it was brought out. They dilute it now! There are better brands out there.
Fairchilds
Thank you - very informative and helpful! I will try it!
What about the other acids? Citric? Ascorbic? Balsamic is loaed with carbs
There are 2.7 grams of carbs for 1 tablespoon.
Thank you Dr Li so much I appreciate your Great Advice and knowledge

Sir, if one is allergic to Apple cider vinegar what should one do?
Are there capsules with vinegar in them? Thanks for sharing 🙏
Thank you Dr Li :)🥰
Will pills with the mother work?
I really want to try apple cider vinegar but i really cant stand the smell and taste....it actually makes me gag! Is there any easy way of taking it😊
I totally agree! 👌🥴
Being on blood thinner can I have apple cider vinegar?
This is.
RUclips ask your doctor😢
Taking drugs is dangerous...
I believe yes you can because my friend does, but if it was me I would find all of the holistic things proven to thin blood and loos the meds.
@@survivormary1126 you are right, if I was younger I would do it, but 81 years old, I am not sure. Talking to my doctor forget it, it is no use. Changing to another doctor impossible. Looking up website about something is often no use either, you find answer for one question for something and right under against it. I like Dr. Li and have his book and follow him on RUclips. But thanks for letting me know, I will try this again. Take care
Are the apple cider capsules as effective if one despises the taste of the vinegar? Also, is there any similarities between the apple cider and vinegar to achieve weight loss?
Please add info that once acidic acid is internalized that it i.become alkalinic...right?
Thanks for sharing! Does it help in IBS also?
Nanna knew this. She didn’t want me to spoon out the Italian dressing , which was made of olive oil and wine vinegar. I was already too “skinny”!
My body says "nope" to apple cider vinegar. As soon as it goes down, it comes up again. I have tried disguising it in all kinds of things, but my body knows it's there and gets rid of it asap.
Add just a teaspoon to one bottle of water
Thank you Dr Li!!!
You are amazing. Thank you !
Will it break a fast?
I've heard that Braggs dilutes their vinegar with water.
Dr Berg recommends Fairchild brand ACV.
Use the Braggs to make your own :)
Aldi's has a good organic ACV with the Mother a lot cheaper!
@@survivormary1126what is the percentage of acidity in the Aldy’s ACV? I read it should be 5% acidity. I use Fairchild’s but it’s expensive!!!!
I bought one
Is it good to burn fat and lower insulin
Thanks for the video❤️
What do I do if I want to improve any visceral fat I may not see, but do not want to loose weight because I'm already underweight after surgery?
What about apple cider vinegar supplements? Like in pill form?
