You know I love a good natural solution. Apple Cider Vinegar is one of my daily healthy habits. I know it doesn’t taste great, but it is loaded with wonderful health benefits. Research suggests that apple cider vinegar use can help with\u00a0acid reflux, lower blood pressure, improve diabetes, support weight loss and so much more.<\/strong><\/p>

The benefits of apple cider vinegar come from its powerful healing compounds, which include\u00a0acetic acid, potassium,\u00a0magnesium, probiotics and enzymes<\/strong>.<\/p>

Acetic acid has the ability to kill dangerous \u201cbad\u201d bacteria, and at the same time to foster the growth of beneficial \u201cgood\u201d bacteria. Because acetic acid kills unwanted bacteria when it comes into contact with it, it essentially acts as a natural antibiotic. This means apple cider vinegar naturally provides numerous benefits related to ski n, digestion, and immunity health without any side effects.

Additionally, apple cider vinegar is a good source of polyphenols. Research supports the role of polyphenols in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, cancers, neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer\u2019s, osteoporosis, and diabetes

Make sure when buying apple cider vinegar you buy it raw and with the \u201cmother\u201d which means it still contains the beneficial compounds including probiotics.

    Surprising Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar
    <\/strong>
    ACV has been consumed for around 5,000 years!
    <\/strong>Historical records show that apple juice has been fermented into vinegar since before 5000 BC. Through the ages, apple cider vinegar has been used to stimulate circulation, aid in the detoxification of the liver, to purify blood, cleanse lymph nodes, and improve immune system response. In fact, Hippocrates often prescribed it for coughs and colds, when mixed with a touch of honey.

    ACV is made in a similar way as other fermented drinks Kombucha, Kefir and Wine.
    <\/strong>Like all fermented products, apple cider vinegar is made using active yeast that is combined with sugar. In this case, it is naturally occurring sugar from crushed apples. The yeast actually consumes sugar and uses this to grow healthy bacteria, which is how fermentation takes place. The best apple cider vinegar for therapeutic and health wellness should be made from certified organic apples. Pasteurization is not required, and is not recommended for people using it for health benefits, as this kills all of the delicate nutrients and enzymes. The acidity of the vinegar is enough to prevent unhealthy bacteria (including E. Coli) from developing. After the fermentation process is completed, the result is the formation of acetic acid, the main beneficial compound found in apple cider vinegar.

    ACV can appear murky and have \u201ccobweb-like\u201d strings, but this is a good thing.
    <\/strong>This murky brown appearance of ACV, as well as the strands of yeast that may be present, actually clue you in to the fact that the cider is of good-quality. These strands are bits of live yeast, and they are actually alive. These contain the bacteria that once entered into the body, provide various healing benefits.

    ACV is extremely low in calories and sugar.
    <\/strong>Although it\u2019s made using sugar, the sugar is consumed during fermentation, so you barely ingest any of it in the finished product. ACV has about 3-5 calories per tablespoon, and a little usually goes a long way. So you wind up with a very beneficial drink for virtually no calories or sugar. In fact, one of the biggest benefits of consuming ACV is that it has a positive effect on blood sugar levels, helping to keep them stable and to reduce risk for diabetes or hypoglycemia.

    ACV was first used as a natural disinfectant (and still is today).
    <\/strong>Vinegar is known to have anti-fungal abilities and\u00a0to kill harmful bacteria and pathogens, so traditionally people used it to clean their homes, bodies, and to fight off fungus from forming. Today, many people still use ACV- and other types of vinegar too- for a wide range of cleansing uses.

    Where to Buy Apple Cider Vinegar
    <\/strong>It is important to note that not all apple cider vinegar is created equally! To get the most out of using ACV, make sure you buy it raw and with the \u201cmother\u201d intact, which means it still contains the beneficial compounds including probiotics. It is imperative that you select organic, unfiltered, and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar to reap its many health and beauty benefits.

    Rule number 1? Look for cloudy vinegar; this is the sign that the friendly enzymes and bacteria that promote healing have not been removed. The cloudy strands is what is referred to as the \u201cmother\u201d probiotics. One of the best brands of that I have recommended for years is Bragg\u2019s Apple Cider Vinegar.<\/li><\/ol>
