We all know it is cider season and aside from that sweet beverage we enjoy with a donut, it may be healthier when it transforms into something else.
Fitness and nutrition expert Jody Trierweiler joined Kim Degiulio to talk about apple cider vinegar and its many claims circling around social media.
Jody says the number one benefit to drinking very small amounts of apple cider vinegar is that it may help burn fat.
If you sip apple cider before you eat a meal Jody says it controls hunger. She says University of Arizona researchers found that people ate 1,900 less calories a week.
Jody says anyone who is looking to control their weight, lose weight, or has acid reflux may benefit from apple cider vinegar. When it comes to side effects Jody says apple cider vinegar helps your body flush out fluids so you might urinate more.
As always, you should check with your doctor before trying a new diet or health regimen.
