With all my activity it’s no wonder my body aches – some days more than others. I was telling my health care practitioner and she recommended apple cider vinegar to help with muscle aches/pain. I completely forgot how she told me to take it and rather than Googling it, I just downed a shot glass’ worth of apple cider vinegar. One quick gulp and it was in my body! OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! Yah, it was IN my body because I could feel it burning and clearing out my sinuses all at the same time! What on Earth was I thinking? It was VINEGAR!!!! I fumbled for a glass of water and sloppily gulped that down! That was my first experience with apple cider vinegar! Did it scare me? You betcha! It tasted horrible!!! I knew it was healthy and that I really needed to take it so I did Google it to find out how to take it. I now take it three times a day, in the recommended dose, and it’s totally fine! So why all the hype over apple cider vinegar? This stuff is pretty potent and amazing! Check out the benefits of apple cider vinegar!
- Helps heart burn and acid reflux: Acid reflux usually results from
having too little acid in the stomach. Apple cider vinegar is full of antibiotic properties. To improve the acid content of your stomach, drink one tablespoon of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar mixed in a glass of water.
- Promotes healthy cholesterol: it can protect from arterial damage or oxidation.
- Aids in healthy weight maintenance: The acetic acid it contains helps to suppress your appetite, increase your metabolism and reduce water retention.
- Promotes healthy blood sugar: strong anti-glycemic properties that support a healthy blood sugar level. The vinegar actually blocks some of the digestion of starch, preventing it from raising your blood sugar.
- Is an antioxidant: contains many antioxidants to help keep your body healthy and running smoothly, including catechin, gallic acid, caffeic and chlorogenic acids.
- Improves nutrient absorption:The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar can increase your body’s absorption of important minerals from the food you eat.
