It is the ingredient that you use in every single salad which will help you keep away the colds and cough during wintertime, and also shred away some pounds while preparing both your immune system and your body for the spring.
Well, for those of you who haven’t assumed it until now, it is the ACV which does wonders for less money than any slimming pill or antibiotic. This natural medicine dates way back to 400 BC, the time of Hippocrates, who is the father of medicine, and has prescribed it for aliments, coughs and colds.
In recent times, it has become quite popular in the diets of Megan Fox, Heidi Klum and Miranda Kerr as a slimming and detox agent.
As a matter of fact, since winter has got us all unprepared and I myself had a cold which even antibiotics couldn’t cure, ACV was my only solution.
Just by mixing a tablespoon of ACV with a cup of water, you will instantly feel its benefits after drinking. Even though it is not the tastiest, it is the easiest method to cure a cold.
This is how ACV Works:
- It has high antioxidant levels which immediately boost your immune system and keep you healthy
- ACV controls your blood sugar
- It helps with digestion and absorption, by stimulating the hydrochloric acid and at the same time curbing your appetite. For that reason, just mix 1 tablespoon of ACV with a glass of water before every meal
- It regulates the pH levels in the body, which is essential to stay healthy
- The high levels of acetic acid in ACV help your body to absorb minerals easily.
Since some of you might not like the taste of ACV mixed just with water, there are a few recipes which will certainly attract your attention and be your allies in the journey of getting to a healthier version of yourself.
The benefits that you’ll get from the ACV recipes are truly incomparable to any artificial medicine on the market. Therefore, it would be wise to purchase a quality and organic bottle of ACV in order to get the most out of it. So, here are the recipes that will sweeten your glass of water with ACV in it.
