What Are the Side Effects of Drinking Apple Cider Vinegar Every Day?
It’s always recommended to go slow with detoxifying drinks. Besides the noticeably positive effects of apple cider vinegar, like any other food, it does come with a set of precautions.
There are common side effects if the daily consumption of apple cider vinegar exceeds 6 tablespoons (spread into 2–3 doses throughout the day):
- Tooth enamel erosion: Apple cider vinegar is fairly acidic, so it’s likely to cause throat irritation and break down your tooth enamel if not diluted properly. You’ll also need to rinse your mouth clean after drinking detox juices with vinegar.
- Potential drug interactions: Apple cider vinegar may react with other laxatives, diuretics, and medications taken for diabetes and heart diseases. Before taking apple cider vinegar, it’s important to seek professional medical advice from your doctor to check if there are any negative drug interactions.
- Dizziness and fatigue are also common: especially when large amounts of vinegar are taken at once or combined with other detox drinks. Therefore, you should incorporate it in a balanced and nutritious diet to fully tap into its health benefits without experiencing unwanted fallouts.

I’m not a “juicer” and don’t want to buy a machine for this one recipe. I substituted whole fresh ginger – sliced & let sit in hot water (like making tea) then strained water & added the remaining ingredients.
My question is am I getting the benefits of the ginger by “steeping” fresh ginger like this? Is there a better way short of “juicing”?
Sure, you can get the same benefits you get from ginger tea by steeping fresh slices. And I suggest that, short of juicing, you can grate/mince the ginger to release more juice.
Can I make this and drink over 4 days or should it be consumed within a certain time frame?
We usually recommend keeping it for a max of 3 days but you can play it by ear and make sure it’s not funky before drinking.
Just a little bit of effort everyday makes such a big difference!
Cheers to your health!!!
Thanks, Joy Wright!
