Top Reasons Apple Cider Vinegar Works With Fasting For Weight Loss & Health 🍎🍏

Hello Health Champions. Today I want to talk about fasting

and apple cider vinegar. Can you do them together and

is it a good idea? Coming right up!

Hey I'm Dr Ekberg I'm a holistic doctor and a former Olympic decathlete

and if you want to truly master health by understanding how the body really

works make sure you subscribe and hit that

notification bell so you don't miss anything the reason people are looking

into lifestyle changes more so in recent years is that

our degenerative diseases are through the roof we spend more money

on so-called health care than we've ever had but we keep getting sicker and

sicker and sicker so things like obesity which isn't

necessarily a disease in itself but it's related to a lot of other

processes then we have type 2 diabetes we have hypertension

cardiovascular disease arthritis stroke and then we have

neurodegenerative diseases like alzheimer's and parkinson's and what do

all these have in common it's that they are related

to insulin and insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome and what makes it

so important to be aware of this and to understand these mechanisms is

that this affects 90 to 95

of us in the western world today and usually at this point someone gives me

the excellent argument that well you can't live forever you have to die

of something so even if you avoid all these things what good is that going

to do you but that's really missing the point because it's

not about whether you die from something it is

the way in which you die the goal is quality of life and the goal is to live

for a really long time and to die for a very short time when you have

these conditions and which again the majority of people

do then you typically spend the last 20 to

30 years of your life dying and suffering what

then does apple cider vinegar and intermittent fasting have to do with

that long list of conditions well all of those conditions pretty much

comes down to two dominant factors and that's

insulin resistance and toxicity and insulin resistance drives most of that

and what they have found is that apple cider vinegar

there's some mechanisms that help reverse that

so in recent studies they found that if you take a bunch of people that are

insulin resistant and obese and type 2 diabetic and you

just give them one to two tablespoons of apple cider

vinegar per day and you don't change anything else then

you're gonna lower their insulin levels you're gonna make

them more insulin sensitive you're gonna reduce their belly fat

you're going to lower their blood pressure and you're going to

lower their cholesterol among other things so this is so closely

tied into the mechanisms of everything that we saw on that

previous page and the good news is apple cider vinegar

does not break the fast it has no calories

it has no impact on blood sugar other than

it helps lower it through these mechanisms then what about

fasting well there's some more mechanisms with fasting you're going to

get all of the benefits all of the

mechanisms that you get from apple cider vinegar

are already included but then you get some additional benefits

and the main one is going to be increase in human growth hormone that anytime you

fast human growth hormone is going to start

climbing after 12 hours it's already significantly elevated and after

three days i think it's up to about fivefold and after seven days

it kind of plateaus and stays at a high level another hormone that increases

is brain derived neurotrophic factor which is like nutrition it's like

fertilizer miracle grow for the brain and this is

important whether you're going to learn something

new or whether you're going to repair some damage so if you're a student or if

you just want to be mentally sharp then these two hormones is what allows

you to make new connections and incorporate new

knowledge if you have a concussion then these two

hormones in conjunction with autophagy

is the best way there is to start cleaning up and healing and repairing

that concussion an autophagy is a mechanism that kicks

in when we don't eat when you stop putting

new nutrition and resources into the body

then your body has to get much better at using the resources that are already

there so it up regulates the recycling team

and it starts going out looking for debris old dead cells red

blood cells tissue that's just kind of sitting

around like loose skin but also immunity goes up

because some of those leftovers some of those

resources the protein that it's trying to recycle

is virus and bacteria yeast and fungus so you're up regulating your immunity as

well and if you go long enough you're also

going to increase stem cell production which is associated

with longevity and really sort of

foundational repair if you want to go back and repair a tissue and kind of

bring it to a younger age at an earlier point in

time that's what stem cells can do so let's

talk about how to approach this that in research they very often

in placebo control double-blind research they often try to just change one

variable that's how they know how that variable relates to the

findings if they change two variables they don't

know and that's fine with research but

i'm not a big fan of doing this when it comes to your health when you are trying

to take care of yourself because you are an organism you are

biology and you are influenced by thousands of different factors so the

more that you can understand all or as many as possible of those

factors and start living a life that sort of

lines up with how your body wants it the healthier you can be and the more

profound changes you can make in your life so

rather than just changing one thing i would suggest you

change and do as much as you can and then you want to learn about as many of

these factors as you can and you keep learning and you don't have

to be perfect in the beginning but you take little baby steps

and you do that consistently and you get better and better

so let's start with fasting i think that's a great

foundation i think that's a building block that we should have

as a base and let's say that fasting gives you

x amount of benefit well why would you stop

there if there are other things that you can do so let's say that you add low

carb low carb makes it easier to fast it

keeps the insulin down once you start fasting you get into your

fat burning and your autophagy much much faster so if you add that

now there's a multiplication effect then there's more things you can add

meditation to reduce emotional stress and cortisol

you can improve your healing ability you can

allocate resources to where they need to go in the body

you can exercise to add some more benefit and then

apple cider vinegar would be like icing on the cake and of course i'm not

talking about an actual cake i'm not suggesting that these are actual numbers

they're just examples i threw in there to give you an

idea that there is a multiplication effect

that when you do more than one thing then the

benefits add together and why is apple cider

vinegar such a good idea because typically

you get out of something in proportion what

you put into something so all of these the fasting low carb meditation and

exercise their commitments they're going to

require you to restructure your life a little bit you're going to have to make

commitments you're gonna follow through you're gonna change some things

but apple cider vinegar it's just so simple it is cheap it's easy you measure

out a tablespoon you mix it up with some stuff and drink it

and if you could get any benefit from something that simple then why

wouldn't you do that if you enjoyed this video make sure you

you next time
