Apple cider vinegar, known for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, has gained popularity as a healthy eating supplement. On social media, nutritionist Blanca Orea shared the process for preparing an easy-to-make drink that promises significant benefits for digestive and metabolic health. Called the "anti-inflammatory shot," this preparation seeks to optimize the absorption of nutrients and minerals during meals.

According to Orea's instructions, the process for making this drink consists of diluting one tablespoon of unfiltered apple cider vinegar in half a glass of water. For those who prefer a more citrusy flavor, you can add lemon juice or additional water. The specialist recommended consuming this mixture just before breakfast or before any meal. "What you have to do is take this 'anti-inflammatory shot' to improve your stomach acidity," she explained.
The nutritionist described how the acidic pH of apple cider vinegar can help acidify the stomach, thus facilitating digestion and reducing problems such as constipation.
He also noted that the acetic acid present in vinegar has a particular effect on alpha-amylase, an enzyme that acts in the mouth.
This compound allows the release of glucose in the body to be more sustained over time, avoiding abrupt spikes in blood sugar after consuming carbohydrate-rich foods.
" This acetic acid makes glucose management more efficient. If you eat a meal rich in carbohydrates, it can eliminate glucose spikes," he added.

Orea also emphasized the importance of choosing unfiltered apple cider vinegar to maximize the benefits of this beverage. However, she cautioned that any dietary changes should be made under the supervision of a healthcare professional. She also recommended consuming vinegar in moderation to avoid damaging tooth enamel, given its acidity.
In a case reported by the scientific journal *Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd*, erosive tooth wear was documented in a 15-year-old girl due to the daily consumption of apple cider vinegar.
