Matt Weik Quoted in Reader’s Digest About Apple Cider Vinegar
An article was written by Meghan Jones of Reader’s Digest on the “8 Things You Should Never Do While Taking Apple Cider Vinegar.” The article was extremely well written and I am honored to have been quoted in her piece. Even more flattering is the fact that Reader’s Digest is such a large publication and is something I can now say I have been featured in.
Below is the section I was featured in as well as my quote from the article:
Apple cider vinegar comes with a bit of a trade-off. On the one hand, it can do wonders for your body, from helping you lose weight to boosting your heart health. On the other… it tastes pretty awful. That’s why many people decide to take it in a quick, undiluted shot, and then immediately drink or eat something else to mask the bitter taste. If this is your chosen method of ACV consumption, though, it can actually be more harmful than helpful.
“Due to the [acidic] nature of ACV, you risk the ACV severely irritating and causing damage to the esophagus and stomach,” advises Matt Weik, BS, CSCS, owner of Weik Fitness, LLC. “Do yourself a huge favor and always dilute your ACV in a liquid.”
Water is probably the way to dilute the apple cider vinegar. Not only will this protect your throat and stomach from the acid, it will make it far more palatable. Experts recommend using one part vinegar to ten parts water. Learn more about why taking it straight is the biggest no-no of apple cider vinegar.
There are so many amazing benefits of ACV. If you’ve never used apple cider vinegar, I highly recommend you pick some up the next time you are at the grocery store. Bragg is a very common brand. The entire article can be found by clicking here.
