Apple Cider Vinegar. As we begin a new week, here is some “food” for thought. What are the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar and what is it’s claim to fame? Here are 6 reasons to try it.
- Helps Heartburn and Acid Reflux. When the body has too little acid in it, that is when we get acid reflux. Taking one tablespoon a day of ACV can help with this.
- Promotes Healthy Cholesterol. By protecting you from arterial damage, which leads to high cholesterol.
- Can Aid in Healthy Weight Loss. It helps to suppress your appetite and increase your metabolism
- Promotes Healthy Blood Sugar. ACV has 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.
- ACV has Antioxidant Properties. ACV contains many antioxidants to help keep your body healthy and running smoothly,
- Improves Nutrient Absorption. Adding vinegar to your salad dressing may help you absorb more nutrients from your leafy greens!
Here’s a little “mocktail” to help with the Slim Down/Weight Loss part of ACV:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Grapefruit Juice (can probably be swapped out for your favorite juice)
- 2 tsp ACV – Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tsp Raw Honey
Drink 30 minutes prior to your meal. It will supposedly help break down fat faster.
Give it a shot….it can’t hurt with so many other good things going for it!
Happy Monday! Have a great week everyone!
