We all have at least once come across viral videos suggesting us to consume apple cider vinegar if we wish to lose weight. If not, that then surely someone must have suggested resting faith on those energy bars to quickly shoo away hunger pangs. However, nutritionist says that she would never consume these two food items and provided her explanation for the same.
Yes, yes you read that right. Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal shared a video on her Instagram timeline, explaining why she would never consume these two food items.
Apple cider vinegar: Talking about apple cider vinegar, she said that because it is highly acidic it possesses the ability to trigger acid reflux. Additionally, it can also cause oesophageal reflux in some, triggering excess cough. Apart from this, it can even hamper your beautiful smile. The nutritionist revealed that it can cause erosion of tooth enamel, basically fading the shine of your tooth.
Energy bars: About energy bars, Nmami Agarwal explained that they do not offer much nutrients. Apart from carrying high sugar and calories, the energy bars are highly processed. Despite helping you with your hunger pangs its consumption causes digestive issues. Instead of this, she suggested to relish some dry fruits.
Along with the video, she wrote, “Two food items I’ll not consume as a nutritionist – Apple Cider Vinegar as it is highly acidic and it triggers acid reflux, oesophageal reflux and thus cough in people. It also causes erosion of tooth enamel. So don’t fall into the social media traps.”
“Energy bars- they are in sugar/ calories, are processed, and don’t really offer much in nutrients because the ingredients get highly processed and lose their benefits and regular consumption can cause digestive issues. Have a handful of nuts, and dried fruits for quick energy,” she added.
