Apple Cider Vinegar Health Benefits

ACV is an excellent cleansing tonic for the entire body! Make sure you buy it raw, organic and unfiltered. My favorite brand is BRAGG. I love combining it with lemon and warm water. After I introduced it to my grandma, she instantly became hooked and it is now the first thing she drinks every morning! She is adorable. I visited her last week in Greece, and every day I woke up to the sound of the kettle warming and her saying “our morning cleanse is ready!” ☺ too cute!

20 reasons why I LOVE ACV:

• flushes toxins out of the body
• helps keep regular bowel movement
• aids in digestion and weight loss
• helps maintain a healthy alkaline pH level (cancer cells can’t survive in an alkaline environment)
• reduces sugar cravings
• reduces inflammation
• boosts energy levels
• stimulates cardiovascular circulation
• detoxes the liver
• lowers cholesterol
• lowers blood pressure
• aids in the elimination of candida (candida is linked to fatigue, yeast infections, and sugar cravings)
• treats acid reflux and reduces heartburn
• clears up skin
• treats eczema
• whitens teeth (rub directly with ACV and rinse with water)
• removes warts (soak a cotton ball in ACV, place on wart, cover with a band-aid overnight)
• soothes sunburn (add a cup to your bath to relieve sunburn)
• reduces cellulite (pour directly into your bath)
• helps prevent the flu and cold viruses

Another great thing about ACV is that it is inexpensive and available for everyone!

Apple Cider Vinegar Detox

INGREDIENTS

• 1-2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, I suggest starting with 1 if you are new to this and increasing as you get used to it
• 1/2 fresh lemon, juiced
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tsp raw honey, this is optional

DIRECTIONS

• Warm up water. Shake apple cider vinegar really well and pour 1 or 2 tbsp into a glass. Add lemon juice and water. Stir with a spoon and drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Enjoy!
