ACV for ya BODy

I realize that there are many ways people use apple cider vinegar (ACV). From mixing with water to clean hard wood floors, remove residue from styling products in your hair or help take away the pain from a jelly fish sting, today I'm not going to focus on those but I AM going to tell you a few interesting (and unproven) health benefits of this liquid.

So what is it? It is a type of vinegar made by squeezing the liquid from apples and fermenting it (adding bacteria and yeast so the sugars turn into alcohol) twice. It turns into vinegar during the second fermentation process. 

So why is this good for you? Well my dears, if you're trying to lose some lbs, two teaspoons of this vinegar (after you eat) prolongs the feeling of being full and also aids in breaking down body fat. It also contains pectin which is known to help regulate blood pressure and reduces crappy cholesterol. 

I use BRAGG, you can get it at Whole Foods or Dekalb Farmers Market

Note: None of this stuff is FDA proven so it's kinda just like, try it out, if it works awesome! If not, no big whoop.  But if you have diabetes or something else that effects your blood sugar, definitely have a little chit chat with your doctor before you down this stuff.  Oh hell, might as well just chat with your doc and do some online research even if you are 100% healthy. Oh and my suggestion would be to only drink the raw, organic kind.  Don't need all of you guys drinking random stuff that's not good for you.

Cheers!
