Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has been recognized for its tremendous benefits since the start of the natural health food movement.  Besides adding a delicious zing to meals, here are some of the benefits it has to offer:


  • Reduces body fat.

  • Boosts circulation.

  • Improves digestion.


  • Promotes alkalinity.

  • Diminishes appetite.

  • Increases metabolism.

  • Antibacterial and antifungal.

  • Improves absorption of minerals.

  • Topical treatment for acne and eczema.

  • Aids in preventing kidney and gall stones.

  • A good source of trace minerals and malic acid.

  • Reduces the glycemic index of meals by up to 30%.

  • Combats gout by dissolving uric acid accumulation.

  • Lowers blood sugar making it an ideal condiment in the management of type 2 diabetes.

Use it in dressings or make the popular pre-meal beverage fondly known as the ACV Cocktail.  Add 1-2 tsp of apple cider vinegar and ½ tsp of raw honey (optional) to a cup of room temperature water and enjoy with meals.
