Can We Talk About Apple Cider Vinegar?

apples-and-vinegarSo I was having lunch with a friend of mine last week.  She just had a baby three months ago, and was having a difficult time with losing weight and was feeling sluggish.  I had suggested that she consider doing an apple cider vinegar cleanse.

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has proven to have many health benefits, including improved digestion and weight loss, stabilizing diabetes, and improved skin and hair care.  I usually drink a liter of water with two tablespoons of ACV and juice from one freshly-squeezed lemon at throughout the week for the last three years and I feel so much more energized and healthy.  I usually use the Bragg’s ACV brand because it has the “mother” (vinegar bacteria) at the bottom, which makes it healthier.  I have tried the recipe featured in this video and it is really good!

You can also use it as an alternative to unhealthy, cleaning chemicals in your household.  I use it as my main cleaning concoction and disinfectant, by mixing three tablespoons of ACV with water in a one-liter spray bottle.   I use it to clean appliances in my kitchen, my bathroom, floors, windows and mirrors.  I even know some people who use it to clean their pets and for flea reduction.

I found this video that better explains the health benefits.
