There is some evidence to suggest that apple cider vinegar may help lower blood pressure. Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made from fermented apples. It contains acetic acid, which has been shown to lower blood pressure in some studies. However, more research is needed to confirm these results. If you are interested in trying apple cider vinegar, be sure to talk to your doctor first. Some people may experience side effects like diarrhea and indigestion when they consume apple cider vinegar.

Some studies suggest that apple cider vinegar can help with blood pressure. However, there is no conclusive evidence that shows apple cider vinegar can lower blood pressure. DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension) or Mediterranean diet that is rich in potassium and low in fat and salt can significantly lower blood pressure.

Acetic acid in apple cider vinegar and other vinegars has the effect of lowering blood pressure. Acetic acid and organic acids such as citric acid found in citrus fruits also promote defecation and regulate the intestinal environment.
