Apple Cider Vinegar, otherwise known as ACV, is a great medicinal food, capable of cleansing the body and also revitalizing it thanks to its abundant nutritional values. It contains vitamins A and B, essential fatty acids, enzymes, and multiple minerals like calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulphur, zinc, iron, and silicon, as well as many others.
The Most Important Properties

Boosts your metabolism and eliminates excess fat from your body, which will help you lose weight.
It is a great diuretic, which allows you to eliminate excess fluids from your body.

How to Get the Most Out of the ACV and Baking Soda Remedy...Make sure the ACV you buy at the store is organic and non-pasteurized, non-fermented making sure that it has not been processed and heated while still containing the nutrients, minerals and enzymes. The clear ACV, which you see at the supermarket and is cheaper than the organic-raw type, has been heated and distilled removing many of the health benefits. The raw type contains what we call “mother of vinegar”, which is a strand-like structure of living bacteria that is found in ACV.
Why Combine Vinegar and Baking Soda?
Vinegar and baking soda have opposite pH, in other words, acidic and alkaline respectively, which allows you to be able to drink this without harming yourself. As a result, you will get all of the properties of the remedy without acidifying your body.
On the other hand, although many people consume baking soda to fight gastric acid, this is not good in the long term either, because it can alter the natural pH of the stomach acid. You need the chloric acid in the stomach to be balanced in order to digest food well.
There are lots of different ways people drink ACV/baking soda... the recipe I like:
1/2 tsp honey in small amount of hot water (this is to dissolve the honey easier. For optimum health benefits use local raw honey)
2 tbsp ACV ( Braggs brand is most readily available)
1/2 tsp baking soda (this will cause a lot of fizzing)
8-12 oz cold filtered water
I like to drink this about 1 hr prior to evening meal. You need to take on a empty stomach and this time of day helps decrease my appetite. Play around with different times to see what is best for you. I take it 1X/day but others take it up to 3X/day.
Let me know how you take ACV, I am always open to other recipes. Feel free to contact me with questions.

- I have a passion for health and the prevention of disease.Even though my profession was in the health care field as a RN, my awareness of the role we can play in our own health began over 30 years ago when my husband became chronically ill. I started by checking out the foods we were eating. I learned that many foods contained unhealthy preservatives. Much to my kids objection, I limited the amount of sugar in the foods I bought. Over the years, my food purchases changed as more options were offered. Today we can actually purchase healthy foods that also taste good. About 9 years ago I became aware of the harmful and caustic chemicals in the personal care and home care products I was using. I thought the products on the grocery store shelves were safe to use. I learn how untrue that is and found an online wellness store to shop at. I now have peace of mind knowing that my personal care and household products are not putting me at risk for disease.
