Many people start their day with coffee or a glass of water with lemon. But more and more health-conscious people swear by a simple home remedy: apple cider vinegar. This true all-rounder really comes into its own in the morning. But what’s behind it, and how do you use it correctly?
Why drink apple cider vinegar in the morning?
Apple cider vinegar contains valuable nutrients such as enzymes, minerals, trace elements, and acetic acid. The body can absorb these nutrients most effectively in the morning, on an empty stomach.
Taking it regularly can:
-
boost metabolism,
-
promote digestion,
-
regulate blood sugar levels
-
and help with weight loss.
Losing weight with apple cider vinegar is therefore not a myth: Thanks to its appetite-suppressing effects and its ability to aid digestion, apple cider vinegar can be a useful addition to a healthy lifestyle.
Here's how to make your morning apple cider vinegar drink
It's incredibly easy to make. You only need a few ingredients, which you probably already have at home:
Suggested recipe:
-
1 glass of lukewarm water
-
1–2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (e.g., naturally cloudy apple cider vinegar from the Kanela.ch product line)
-
Optional: 1 tsp honey for a milder flavor
Tip: Drink this about 15–20 minutes before breakfast. This will help your body prepare optimally for nutrient absorption.
Here Are the Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar in the Morning
Taking it in the morning offers numerous benefits for your body and well-being. Here's an overview:
-
Aids Digestion: Apple cider vinegar stimulates the production of gastric juices, thereby aiding digestion.
-
Detoxification: It has a mild diuretic effect and helps the body eliminate toxins.
-
Appetite control: Acetic acid can increase the feeling of fullness.
-
Blood Sugar Control: Studies show that apple cider vinegar can lower blood sugar levels after meals high in carbohydrates.

Boosting the Immune System: Thanks to its antimicrobial properties, apple cider vinegar can strengthen the body's natural defenses.
What You Should Keep in Mind
Even though apple cider vinegar is a natural home remedy, you should use it properly:
-
Do not drink undiluted! The concentrated acid can irritate tooth enamel and the stomach lining. Always dilute with water.
-
Choose organic and naturally cloudy: That's the only way to ensure all the valuable nutrients are preserved. You'll find high-quality options in the Kanela.ch selection.
-
Don't take too much: 1–2 teaspoons a day is plenty.
-
If you have existing stomach problems: Consult a doctor.
