One of the ultimate goals among many people today is how to live a long and healthy life. A new report reveals that incorporating a kind of drink to a diet plan can be able to increase a person’s life expectancy.

Many people want to live a long and healthy life. Longevity is a combination of several factors like genetics, dietary choices, the amount of exercise done, as well as mental health among other possible reasons. There is no one solid answer to this question, but thanks to many studies, people now have some idea as to how to achieve longevity. Express reports that incorporating an apple cider vinegar drink to an existing diet can help extend a person’s lifespan.

As to why this is so, apple cider vinegar contains certain proteins, enzymes, and the good bacteria that is good for the digestive system. It is not just the most popular kind of vinegar for those who are opting for more organic, natural diet plans, it also boasts many health benefits for people such as aiding in weight loss, lowering cholesterol levels, and for those who suffer from diabetes, apple cider vinegar helps improve the symptoms.

It is also down to how apple cider vinegar is made in the first place. Similar to alcoholic drinks, apples are crushed to yeast, which will ferment the sugars and turns them into alcohol. The good bacteria is then added into the mixture, further fermenting the alcohol and turning it into acetic acid which is the main ingredient in vinegar in general. To add to that, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar is only three calories. Although there are no known vitamins, apple cider vinegar has been shown to contain a small amount of potassium.

Meanwhile, a way of dieting has previously been reported to help increase a person’s life expectancy. Express previously reported that long fasting times between meals - in other words, not eating at all between meals - has been shown to help increase a person’s life expectancy. A study conducted by researchers on mice showed that longer daily fasting times made male mice healthier overall regardless of the kind of diet.

The researchers attributed this to the body being able to repair and maintain mechanisms in the body that would otherwise be absent due to constant exposure to food.
