Why it’s a problem:
ACV can cause nausea or stomach discomfort when taken on an empty stomach, especially for sensitive individuals.
✔️ Solution: Try taking it with or just before meals to lessen irritation and help with digestion.
4. Using It Without Rinsing Your Mouth
Why it’s a problem:
The acid in ACV can erode your tooth enamel over time, even when diluted.
✔️ Solution: Drink through a straw and rinse your mouth with water afterward. Avoid brushing your teeth immediately — wait 30 minutes.
5. Using the Wrong Type of Vinegar
Why it’s a problem:
Not all vinegars are created equal. Distilled white vinegar or filtered ACV lacks the beneficial enzymes and probiotics.
✔️ Solution: Use raw, unfiltered ACV with “the mother” for the full health benefits.
✅ Bonus Tips:
- Add a teaspoon of raw honey or lemon juice to improve taste and benefits.
- Can be used in salad dressings, detox drinks, or teas.
- For external use: Dilute before applying to skin or scalp (e.g., for dandruff or acne).
Final Thought:
Apple cider vinegar can be a powerful natural remedy — but only if used correctly. Avoid these common mistakes, use it with care, and you’ll enjoy all the benefits without the unwanted side effects!
