Apple Cider Vinegar

An apple a day keeps the doctor away - so does a daily dosage of apple cider vinegar!

Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made from apple cider and is a pale to medium amber colour.  It is made by crushing apples and squeezing out the liquid.  Yeast is then added to the liquid to start the alcoholic fermentation process, turning the sugars into alcohol.  A second fermentation process is needed to convert the alcohol into vinegar, thus producing apple cider vinegar. 
It can be sold unfiltered and unpasturized with "mother of vinegar" present as a natural product, which means it is of good quality and would be better for you.

Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar:-
- contains malic acid which is helpful in fighting fungal and bacterial infections.
- lowers bad cholesterol.
- is a weight loss aid; the acid helps breakdown fat cells in the body.
- maintains strong bones.
- very high in potassium.
- lowers blood pressure.
- the vinegar helps extract calcium from the fruits, vegetables and meats it is mixed with.
- helps eliminate toxic waste from the body.
- maintains firmer skin and reduces the aging process.

It can be taken in pill or liquid form.  Read label for daily dosage amount. 
Be sure to ingest the natural, organic variety (must include mother in it).

Try it for a few days and let me know the benefits you are receiving from it.  My boyfriend has been taking apploe cider vinegar for a few months now and has experienced many of the above benefits!!

  2. If you are taking the liquid take it everyday in the morning, or if you are taking the capsules follow the instructions on the bottle to see the dosage per day as the brands differ in terms of strength of the capsules and dosage.
