A few common health benefits of apple cider vinegar include heartburn relief, bowel regularity, heart health support, blood sugar regulation, weight loss, and clear skin.
The type of apple cider vinegar (ACV) you use is important. Adding raw organic ACV to your clean drinking water will give you the most health benefits.
The clear, pasteurized ACV does not provide the benefits of raw ACV. In fact, processed ACV is unhealthy to consume.
Raw organic ACV is made from organically grown apples and then goes through a fermentation process which produces numerous enzymes and nutrients.
The nutrients in ACV can help us feel healthier and more energized. Just a few of the key ingredients include:
The following are the key health benefits of apple cider vinegar in drinking water.
You might be surprised to know that the benefits of consuming apple cider vinegar have been known for over 5,000 years.
The following are just a few of the potential health benefits of apple cider vinegar (ACV) that many people have experienced.
As stated earlier, the type of ACV you consume is important. Raw organic ACV contains “the mother,” which is made up of beneficial bacteria and nutrients.
Our favorite brand is Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, but if the product you choose is raw, organic and you can see the sediment of “the mother” at the bottle of the bottle (preferably glass), you should still get the benefits.
Raw ACV is concentrated and has a strong sour taste. Thus, we recommend diluting it with clean filtered water before consuming it.
Be sure to shake the bottle of ACV well before pouring it into your water so that you get the nutrients at the bottom of the bottle mixed in.
For general use, a good ratio is 1 Tablespoon for 32 ounces (about 1 quart or 1 liter) of clean, filtered water—and drink it throughout the day.
Or you can use as little as 8 ounces of filtered water with 1 Tablespoon of ACV and drink it before a meal.
Some people like to add a little raw honey or agave to the mix to improve the taste and provide some additional nutrients. However, if you have blood-sugar issues, you obviously would not want to add the sweeteners.
Just one or two tablespoons of ACV each day can help maintain your body pH balanced for optimal health.
