HEALTH BENEFITS - APPLE CIDER VINIGAR


Apple Cider Vinegar is an effective natural bacteria-fighting agent that contains vital minerals and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, chlorine, sodium, sulfur, copper, iron, silicon and fluorine that are vital for a healthy body.

Many apple cider vinigars have been pasturized, filtered, refined or distilled in order to give the product a better “look/appeal” to the general public.  Unfortunately this extra unncecessary processing destroys a lot of the health benefits that are in apple cider vinigar.

The best quality Apple Cider Vinigar is made from cold pressed, organically grown whole apples in which no chemicals, pesticides or preservatives have been added.  Personally I would recommend Braggs, raw, unfiltered, organic Apple Cider Vinigar is the best available and is readily available from supermarkets and health food stores.

INTERNAL BENEFITS –

.  Rich in enzymes and potassium
.  Support a healthy immune system
.  Helps control weight
.  Promotes digestion and ph balance
.  Helps soothe dry throats
.  Helps remove body sludge toxins

EXTERNAL BENEFITS –

.  Helps maintain healthy skin
.  Helps promote youthful, healthy bodies
.  Soothes irritated skin
.   Relieves muscle pain from exercise

The stringy cloudy mass which resembles sediment is called the "mother of vinegar". It has exceptional healing properties. If you were to chew on a little of this every day, it is supposed to prevent most infectious diseases and keep germs and parasites from invading the body.  This cloudy substance is actually bacteria and yeast cells that have died. The presence of “mother”, shows that the best part of the apple has not been destroyed. Vinegars containing the “mother” contain enzymes and minerals that other vinegars may not have due to over processing, filtration and overheating. 

Apple Cider vinegar is a powerful detoxifying and purifying agent. It breaks down fatty, mucous deposits within the body. By breaking down these substances it improves the health and function of the vital organs of the body.

Even though vinegar is acidic, when we take apple cider vinegar it has an alkaline effect in our bodies. The fact that apple cider vinegar causes our pH levels to become more alkaline could play a large part in it’s curative properties.

A diet that is too acidic is an indicator of poor health. Science has discovered that the diet of a healthy person is usually alkaline, high pH. The diet of an unhealthy person is more likely to be acidic. A pH test indicates how alkaline or acidic you are.

Take one tablespoon of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar in 8 ounces of water twice a day.  If you really don’t like the taste, a teaspoon of organic Honey can be added.  Eat a high alkaline diet of veggies and fruits to keep your immune system strong.
