Well, I have. During my modeling days, I’ve always been the meatier one amongst the girls. So I’ve tried every diet under the sun and one day read about how Beyonce lost weight drinking apple cider vinegar + cayenne pepper. I had one shot, gagged and never drunk another glass of vinegar again.
Until last week. Ascenshoppe sent a bottle of ITOH Lime Moromi Vinegar Drink for me to review. It stayed on my desk for 3 full days before I had the courage to give it a try. I added equal amount of water to 50ml of vinegar, as indicated on the label, held my breath and downed it in one go. To my surprise, it wasn’t bad at all.
Why drink vinegar?
It is a healthy beverage popular with the Japanese for centuries, which helps with detoxification, lower blood pressure, weight management and support digestive health. Traditionally fermented from unpolished rice, ITOH Japanese Premium Vinegar contains high amounts of amino acid, citric acid, minerals and nutrients.
What do I think of ITOH Japanese Premium Vinegar?
The taste of the lime moromi vinegar is much better than my homemade concoction years ago. It is mild, a little smoky, kinda like soju (Korean rice wine) without alcohol. I have to say, I like it. It makes me go to the toilet (number 2) almost immediately. So my advice is don’t drink it if you are rushing out the door in the morning.
I also won’t contradict with the Japanese on diet and lifestyle. They do boasts the highest life expectancy than other nationalities.
I did some research, and by research I mean typing ‘best time to drink vinegar’ into Google search box and found that it is best consumed first thing in the morning and before meal. This is because it detoxifies and improves digestion. It helps suppress appetite and bringing the right balance by alkalising our acidic food intake.
You could drink about 50-100ml a day, diluted with water, or mix with juices according to your own preference. I think it makes a great palate cleanser after a heavy and fatty meal. It would also be nice frozen as popsicles or into ice cubes for summer drinks and aperitifs.
