Why I Love Apple Cider Vinegar

After the amazing Southern New Mexico adventure, I came home covered in hives.  I speculated it was due to the diet and accommodations from our trip. However, after the hives went away I broke out in a rash that I am pretty sure was eczema, something I used to get quite a bit when I was younger.

Because of this, I began taking about an ounce of organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar.  I was only thinking about clearing up my rash (which went away pretty quickly) but I have noticed a bunch of amazing benefits, such as clear skin, strong nails and slightly longer eyelashes. 

Here's an extensive list of the benefits of ingesting unfiltered apple cider vinegar: 

• Clears up your skin - acne, rashes, hives, etc.
• Balances your body's PH, which helps with digestion and heartburn
• Acts as an appetite suppressant
• Improves the condition of hair and nails
• Wards of colds, stuffy noses and sore throats
• Helps reduce LDL (bad cholesterol)
• Prevents muscle fatigue after exercise & increases stamina
• Breaks down fats
• Lowers glucose levels
• Fights off allergies
• Increases energy
• Whitens teeth
• Reduces bloating and cramps
• Reduces joint stiffness and pain
• Anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal
• Removes toxins from the body
• It could lower blood pressure and the risk of heart disease, and potentially kill cancer cells

I fill half a shot glass with vinegar, then add a splash of water.  I also take it with about 5 - 8 ounces of water.  It tastes really, really bad.  But it is so, so good for me that I actually have begun to look forward to my twice-daily dose.  I do it once in the morning and once in the evening, preferably before eating.  You can also mix in honey (try raw, unfiltered) but I cannot due to do my strict meal plan prescribed from a holistic doctor. (I might add that not eating peanut butter is pure torture.)

I suggest you try it for a week or two just to see if it does anything for you.  I think it might.
