Why to use apple cider vinegar

For those of you that have heard, but most importantly for those of you that haven't, I want to introduce you to this elusive ingredient.....apple cider vinegar. Sounds so appealing right...hmm vinegar. Well it's more than vinegar, it can transform your dressings, combat acid reflux and detox you out when you need it most. When it comes to flavors I totally understand, balsemic serves its purpose and so does white rice vinegar. Here's the difference, Raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar can help you digest your foods. Why? It has naturally occuring enzymes to help you break down what you are consuming....Everything, fibers, fats, carbs and proteins without the sometimes bloated food belly. Exciting right? Right. Besides using it as an ingredient in dressings, you can take this detoxifying, energizing elixir as a shot or health drink....Here's how
Energy Shot- When you need a healthy natural non caffienated pick up, make yourself a shot morning or afternoon. You can also use this elixir for when your belly is feeling bloated, over acidic, and detoxifies your liver kidney and gallbladder. When taking your first shot, like drinking a shot of whisky has a lil burn, yet once it gets into your system alkalizes.


Energy shot= 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar plus 2 teaspoon of agave, honey, maple syrup or blackstrap molasses.

Health drink- Similar as the energy shot, just not as much as the shot of energy. Now because apple cider vinegar contains enzymes, this means it assists in the breakdown of fats. A lot of people drink this not only to help with acid reflux, detox, but drink it during a healthy weight management program.

Health drink= 8 fl oz of NON-tap water, 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, 1-2 teaspoons of agave nectar, honey, maple syrup, or blackstrap molasses.
