Victoria Beckham’s 45p-a-day kitchen tip to boost weight loss and gut health

One of the most discussed additions to contemporary wellness regimes is apple cider vinegar. Yet long before it became a social media sensation, it was merely a humble kitchen ingredient.

Today, partly due to high-profile advocates such as Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Tweedy, it has emerged as a popular health supplement. Victoria previously revealed to her Instagram followers that she begins each morning with two tablespoons of it before eating.

The mum of four shared an image of a large bottle in her story, writing: “Be brave! Two tbsp first thing on an empty tummy!” Cheryl also disclosed that she consumes it when discussing her fitness regime and eating habits with Dermot O’Leary on his Radio 2 programme.

For those interested in giving it a go, incorporating it into daily habits can cost as little as 45p per day, calculated from a tablespoon taken from a £15 bottle available from Manuka Doctor. The science underpinning apple cider vinegar (ACV) is that it’s produced through fermenting apples, a process which transforms natural sugars into acetic acid.

It’s this substance that scientists believe may be responsible for many of its possible health advantages. Unprocessed and unfiltered varieties contain what’s referred to as “the mother”: the murky strands composed of enzymes, proteins and helpful bacteria, reports the Mirror.
