Abstract

Background: The escalating prevalence of obesity is a significant health concern, closely associated with non-communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and coronary heart disease. Research indicates that apple cider vinegar (ACV) may aid in lowering blood glucose levels, total cholesterol, triglycerides, body weight, waist circumference, and BMI, as demonstrated in animal studies and clinical trials. The primary objective of the study is to assess the impact of apple cider vinegar effervescent tablets on overweight and obese individuals within a period of 30-days. Methods: This observational study took place at the outpatient department of general medicine at Sudha Institute of Medical Science in Erode, involving 45 participants with abnormal weight. Participants consumed an apple cider vinegar effervescent tablet daily in the afternoon for 30 days, alongside mild exercise and a low-sugar diet recommendation. Anthropometric measurements and participant satisfaction data were collected on the 0th (baseline), 15th, and 30th days. Data analysis was conducted using Microsoft Excel, with descriptive statistics such as mean and percentage utilized. Results: This study comprised 75.56% of participants aged between 18 and 40 years. 44.44% of participants fall into the overweight category. Additionally, 95.5% of participants expressed an interest in weight reduction. The results revealed that reductions of 1.13 cm in waist circumference, 1.07 cm in hip circumference, 1.46 kg in weight, and 0.58 kg/m² in BMI over the 30-day period. Following the 30-day consumption of ACV, improvements were observed in abnormal food intake and resolved issues such as digestion, appetite, constipation, cravings, and gas problems. Conclusion: This study concluded that daily consumption of apple cider vinegar effervescent tablet has a positive impact on weight loss and alleviates issues related to digestion, appetite, constipation, cravings, and gas problems.
苹果醋泡腾片对肠道健康、肥胖症和用户体验的影响:观察
背景:肥胖症发病率的不断上升是一个重大的健康问题,与糖尿病、高血压、血脂异常和冠心病等非传染性疾病密切相关。研究表明,苹果醋(ACV)有助于降低血糖水平、总胆固醇、甘油三酯、体重、腰围和体重指数,动物实验和临床试验均证明了这一点。本研究的主要目的是评估苹果醋泡腾片在 30 天内对超重和肥胖人群的影响:这项观察性研究在埃罗德的苏达医学科学研究所的全科门诊部进行,有 45 名体重异常的参与者参加。参与者在 30 天内每天下午服用一片苹果醋泡腾片,同时进行轻微运动并建议低糖饮食。第 0 天(基线)、第 15 天和第 30 天收集了人体测量数据和参与者满意度数据。数据分析使用 Microsoft Excel 进行,并使用了平均值和百分比等描述性统计方法:75.56% 的参与者年龄在 18 至 40 岁之间。44.44%的参与者体重超标。此外,95.5% 的参与者表示有兴趣减轻体重。结果显示,30 天内腰围减少了 1.13 厘米,臀围减少了 1.07 厘米,体重减少了 1.46 千克,体重指数减少了 0.58 千克/平方米。饮用苹果醋 30 天后,异常食物摄入量有所改善,消化、食欲、便秘、饥饿感和胀气等问题也得到解决:这项研究得出结论,每天服用苹果醋泡腾片对减肥有积极影响,并能缓解与消化、食欲、便秘、饥饿和胀气有关的问题。
