~ ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR ~
Organic apple cider vinegar is made from nutritious organically grown apples and retains many of the fruits’ beneficial components because raw apple cider vinegar is not pasteurized. And in its two fermentation processes, it produces enzymes and life giving nutrients that make apple cider vinegar the powerhouse it is.
ACV is a naturally detoxifying product that gently removes toxins from your body, purifies your blood and builds your immune system. ACV is full of antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and help slow down the aging process. It is also great for breaking down mucus in the body and encouraging the lymphatic system (think cellulite!) to eliminate wastes.
There are three options for using ACV as a part of your detox:
- Before You Eat in Water or Fruit Juice - Add 2-3 TSP of ACV to 8 ounces of water or juice. I have read that tomato juice works well but I have not personally tried it. This is the method that I started using and still use every morning. I add 2 TSP of organic honey to the water as well so that it is a little better tasting.
- During Your Meal - Add 2-3 TBSP of ACV to any of your salad dressings, marinades, sauces, etc. There are tons of recipes online if you google it.
- In Your Bath - A hot baths with ACV is also a great detoxification method. It is great for flushing out toxins through your skin, and any excess uric acid from the body. Just add 2-4 cups of ACV to a hot bath, lie back and soak for 20 minutes.
Again, I have only tried the first option but have read the benefits of all three so try whatever works best for you and your routine! I am not going to tell you that it tastes great as that would be a lie but it really isn't as bad as you may think and once you are done reading the benefits of ACV then I am sure you will be willing to give it a shot!
What are some of the benefits of ACV besides the ones I have already listed?
- Increases your energy levels
- Increases your metabolism
- Suppresses your appetite
- Reduces bloating
- Stabilizes your sugar levels
- Helps prevent brittle teeth, hair loss and runny noses
- Regulates blood pressure
- Reduces bad cholesterol
- It is anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal
- Creates strong bones
- Natural remedy for heartburn
- Improves bowel regularity removing toxins from your system at a faster rate
- Helps clear up skin conditions and blemishes giving a smoother complexion and texture
- Helps with joint pain and stiffness
- Helps break down fat in your body so that your body can use them rather than store them
You can purchase ACV at Bloom or at GNC. I am sure that there are other grocery stores that carry it but I have only purchased it at these two locations. Make sure you are getting Organic Apple Cider Vinegar as you see in the picture above. This is completely different than regular, clear vinegar that does not have any of these benefits!
Don't mistake this for some sort of miracle detox cure that will make you drop 20 pounds in a week, that isn't the point. The point is to use this, along with your daily clean, healthy eating and your exercise regimen to detoxify your body and make yourself healthier!
I have seen drastic improvements all around since I have started eating better and implementing these small changes to my routine. I cannot specifically point to one thing or another but the combination of my changes has been quite successful!
My hair is growing faster than ever (I get my hair trimmed every three weeks now), my nails are growing faster and healthier, my skin has improved in texture and no longer looks sallow - I actually have a glow, even when I am not wearing make up! :)
I highly recommend using ACV daily to begin seeing improvements like those listed above right away! There are even more benefits than what I have listed so if you want to do even further research I definitely suggest it! The more we know, the better we can treat our bodies!!
