Get into the habit of using white vinegar to season and accompany your dishes or salads.
Why ? Because it contains a lot of nutrients and no fat!

Before presenting the many virtues of white vinegar, there are a few rules to follow when using it.
First of all, it is a very acidic product which by definition prevents your digestive balance from consuming it if it is concentrated at more than 5%.
In case of very sour taste even with less than 5% solution, add a little salt.
Then, do not hesitate to ask your doctor if you are subject to any allergies, as white vinegar may contain certain allergenic components.
Finally, avoid taking white vinegar on an empty stomach.
