Summary

This study tests whether taking date cider vinegar daily, alone or combined with 5:2 intermittent fasting, can improve cholesterol and other metabolic measures in adults with prediabetes and mild to moderate high cholesterol or blood pressure. Participants are randomly assigned to standard dietary advice, vinegar alone, or vinegar plus two non-consecutive fasting days per week for three months. The goal is to see if these simple dietary changes can lower heart disease risk in people with early blood sugar problems.
