When it comes to avoiding insulin spikes after eating carbohydrates such as pasta, bread, or rice, some people suggest drinking apple cider vinegar with water as a solution. However, this viral TikTok tip may not be a perfect solution to overeating.

Although vinegar has been found to have important effects on improving insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, it is important to note that these studies have mainly been oriented towards the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, it may not necessarily be beneficial for everyone, diabetic or not.

Biologist Tamara Pazos explains on her TikTok account that vinegar contains acetic acid, which inhibits or slows down the functioning of an enzyme called alpha amylase responsible for converting carbohydrates into glucose. Moreover, natural, organic apple cider vinegar with polyphenols further inhibits the action of alpha amylase. Acetic acid also slows down gastric emptying, meaning the release of energy driving up the glucose spike will be much less pronounced.

It is not necessary to take apple cider vinegar with water or on an empty stomach. Instead, vinegar can be used in salads or other food items. However, it is important to note that vinegar, ingested in excess, can affect the digestive mucosa, dental enamel, and cause dehydration, nausea, and diarrhea. Therefore, it is best to consult a professional before incorporating anything into your diet.

Overall, it is advisable to eat a balanced, balanced and sufficient diet, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and practice physical activity. Before incorporating a new habit into your life, it is best to consult a professional, who can help design an eating plan that suits your needs and help you review the reasons why you overeat. Additionally, working on a dietary-behavioral therapy can help you work on your relationship with food in a more relaxed way and prevent eating disorders.
