Apple Cider Vinegar is one of the first natural health wonders I (and many others I'm sure) came across. I'll tell you why ACV is quite so wonderful and why its the latest natural health craze to take Pinterest by storm... It balances the pH levels of our bodies, this is the main reason so many hail it as the best thing since coconut oil. If the pH levels in our bodies are unbalanced it can lead to a poor immune system, unhealthy organisms flourishing, we can also end up with damaged tissue and organs. All this can lead to longer term illness such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and osteoporosis. Unfortunately our day to day lives tend to sway into highly acidic territory more often than we'd like because of this it is becoming ever more important to keep an eye on our pH levels. The constant use of technology, pesticides, excessive hormones from health/beauty products and in our food along with a high acid diet (you know lots of coffee, processed foods, alcohol, milk, butter or meats) puts a lot of pressure on our bodies. They start acting out we end up with;
- Allergies, asthma or congestion
- Fatigue
- Frequent colds
- Headaches
- Inflammation
- Joint and muscle pain
- Skin problems
- Ulcers
- Weight gain
Any of this sounding familiar? I know I was suffering with some of those symptoms a year ago (that's when my natural health adventures began).
Not only will ACV keep you in balance it's also a great natural energy boost! Try this recipe every morning for a week and see how you feel! (Or alternatively just a tsp in water a day will help you on your way to a healthier happier you.)
Turns out it's also great for your hair and skin! I use a mixture of filter water and ACV as a revitalising hair rinse, great for dry ends or a dry itchy scalp!
If you fancy trying out a new face toner, just another thing it's great for and the smell of vinegar won't linger longer than about 5 minutes.
Any issues with fungal foot infections its anti fungal properties will have you wondering why you didn't try it sooner!
One bottle really does do it all!
Make sure if you do purchase some you buy ACV with the 'Mother', which just means the fermentation process has nurtured the good bacteria which is naturally occurring in the vinegar.
