Power Food – Apple Cider Vinegar





Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is made from fermenting apple juice to hard apple cider, and then fermented again to produce the vinegar.  ACV retains all the goodness from the apples plus it’s fortified with extra acids and enzymes produced during the both fermentation processes.

ACV is rich in minerals, like potassium, sodium chloride, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium as well as several vitamins including A, B1, B2, B6 and E, and Pectin a soluble form of fiber.

Here are some popular health and beauty benefits of ACV.


     Improves digestion.  May relieve heart burn, upset stomach, and diarrhea
      Improves regularity. 
     Glowing skin.  May fade age spots, clear acne, and relieve other skin conditions. 
       Decrease in joint pain, and stiffness. 
      May help break down fats so that the body can use them more efficiently.

 Improves the immune system.

   Relieves sore throat.

     Clears mucus from colds and sinus infection.

    Regulates blood sugar levels.

   Treats yeast infection and athletes foot.

Suggested use for most conditions is to consume 1-2 tsp ACV diluted in 8 oz of water before meals, taken up to 3 times a day.

On a final note… you must use raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar.  Conventional “clear” vinegars are distilled and do not have the same properties as the raw unfiltered vinegars.  You can find raw ACV in most health food stores or online.
