Digestive health and weight loss go hand in hand. For optimum weight loss you need good gut health.
Your digestive system is part of your body’s detox pathways and science now knows what a huge role our digestive health has on both mind and body, with our gut microbiome being home to most of immune system and serotonin levels – our happy hormone. Our gut really does impacts how we look and how we feel on a daily basis, and how we feel affects the daily decisions and choices we make.
HOW DOES APPLE CIDER VINEGAR HELP WEIGHT LOSS
Apple Cider Vinegar can help stabilise blood sugar levels.
Eating foods high in sugar, processed foods or refined carbohydrates can cause a sudden rise, or ‘spike’, in blood sugar levels.
These blood sugar spikes cause your body to produce high levels of insulin – this process allows the glucose to enter your body’s cells and be used as energy.
However, whenever insulin is being released your body cannot burn fat. This is because insulin is your FAT STORAGE hormone.
By keeping our blood sugar levels stable (and in turn insulin levels stable) is when our body can go into FAT BURNING mode.
Obesity and health issues can also arise from too frequent blood sugar spikes. If your body is producing too much insulin, over time, your body can stop recognising insulin making your body becomes insulin resistant. This blocks fat burning and is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes.
On the flip side, Apple cider vinegar can minimise this risk factor by improving insulin sensitivity, making it easier for the body’s cells to recognise insulin, reducing blood sugar spikes and dips.
Blood sugar spikes can also lead to weight gain, as what goes up must come down. When our blood sugar levels drop after a spike this can cause increased feelings of hunger, cravings and can result in overeating and extra calories.
It has been scientifically proven that vinegar, (including apple cider vinegar), can help to prevent a rapid rise in blood sugar, and can therefore help to keep your weight stable. This is due to the acetic acid that vinegar contains.
reduce belly fat
Studies have also focused on Apple cider vinegars ability to reduce abdominal fat, the fat that accumulates around our waist.
A 12 week study found that drinking either 15ml or 30ml of vinegar resulted in a significant reduction in visceral / belly fat and waist circumference.
Another study concluded that daily consumption of Apple cider vinegar can reduce the visceral adiposity index – a measurement that links belly fat and cardiovascular risk factors.
APPETITE SUPPRESSANT
Apple Cider Vinegar can keep you fuller for longer. Research has found that acetate – a key component in acetic acid – has a central role in appetite regulation.
Taking vinegar with a meal can help to keep you feeling satisfied after eating, feeling fuller for longer and helping to curb cravings and unscheduled snacking.
Research has found that vinegar supplementation increases satiety after eating a high-carbohydrate meal.
Apple cider vinegar also helps to slow stomach emptying, keeping you feeling fuller for longer. Reducing cravings, the urge to snack and consuming less calories can help you feel more in control of your eating habits whilst promoting weight loss.
HOW DOES APPLE CIDER VINEGAR IMPROVE DIGESTION
Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar contains strands of protein, enzymes and healthy bacteria. These probiotic properties support the growth of more beneficial bacteria in our gut – leading to a happy gut microbiome.
It’s these beneficial bacteria that help us digest and extract the nutrients from our food. Any imbalance in our microbiome, where we have low levels of good bacteria, then our bodies can’t get nutrients from food as effectively as it should. This can not only hinder weight loss but can even promote weight gain. A simple way of putting it is –
More probiotic bacteria = better digestion = weight loss
Because Apple cider vinegar is also a highly acidic substance, it’s thought that daily consumption may also help to raise stomach acid levels and give digestion a boost.
NATURAL LAXATIVE
Constipation can leave you feeling bloated and heavy and Apple cider vinegar can act as a natural laxative.
Get sluggish bowels moving and get regular by adding Apple cider vinegar to your daily routine – take your Pretty Pea caspules in the morning’s especially.
By promoting regularity you can help cleanse your digestive system, removing toxic waste that makes us feel heavy and sluggish. Eliminating waste on a regular daily basis can have you feeling lighter and more energised.
Apple cider vinegar is a source of pectin, a type of soluble fibre which is found in apples. Pectin acts as a natural laxative and helps to stimulate bowel movements.

Pretty Pea’s Apple cider vinegar supplements contain Chromium, which is approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to contribute to normal macronutrient metabolism and blood glucose levels.
HERBAL INGREDIENTS
GREEN TEA LEAF
Green tea may be beneficial for weight loss by supporting your metabolism to be more efficient. Metabolism being the body’s processes which break down our food into useable energy.
Green tea contains caffeine and a type of flavonoid called catechin, which is an antioxidant.
Studies suggests that both of these compounds can speed up metabolism. Catechin can help to break down excess fat, while both catechin and caffeine can increase the amount of energy the body uses.
There is a wealth of evidence supporting that green tea supplements, containing catechins or caffeine, have a positive impact on weight loss and weight management.
Green tea has also been shown to soothe the stomach and aid in digestion.
CAYENNE
Cayenne is a red pepper that can help to curb your appetite, speed up your metabolism and help you burn calories. It’s main active ingredient, capsaicin, is thermogenic. Cayenne may also support the digestion as it help to boost the stomach’s defence against infections, increase digestive fluid production and help transport enzymes to the stomach.
GINGER ROOT
Ginger’s antioxidant properties help control free radicals in the body that cause oxidative stress – which can cause disease and premature ageing.
It’s anti-inflammatory properties can also counter inflammation. Research indicates that obesity can bring on oxidative stress and inflammation
Ginger also has appetite-suppressing properties.
Ginger has also been used traditionally as a digestive herb with a long history in treating digestive upset and pain and as a highly effective carminative, a substance that promotes the elimination of excessive gas from the digestive system and soothes the intestinal tract.
TURMERIC
Turmeric contains curcumin, a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It’s also widely used in ayurvedic medicine as a digestive healing agent.
Studies suggest that curcumin may suppress particular inflammatory markers that play a role in obesity. These markers are typically elevated in people with excess weight or obesity.
Animal studies also indicate that curcumin may promote weight loss, reduce fat tissue growth, curb weight regain and enhance sensitivity to the hormone insulin.
A 30-day study who were previously unable to lose weight, found that supplementing twice a day with 800mg of curcumin plus 8mg of piperine, led to significant reductions in body weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist and hip circumference.
PIPERINE
Piperine is a compound in black pepper that boosts curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%, so it’s been added to potentiate the absorption and effect of these other herbal ingredients.
Piperine extract is also thermogenic and supports weight loss by increasing thermogenic activity in the body.
Thermogenesis is the way of developing cellular energy in the body which results in an increase in metabolic rate.
Black pepper can also support a happy digestion as it promotes proper stomach function. Consuming black pepper stimulates the release of enzymes in your pancreas and intestines that help digest fat and carbohydrates.
Animal studies show that black pepper may also prevent diarrhoea by inhibiting muscle spasms in the digestive tract and slowing the digestion of foods.
