If it's not there already, apple cider
vinegar deserves a home in your kitchen cupboard. It's rich in vitamins E, A,
and P and magnesium, iron, calcium — the list goes on and on. If the vitamins
and minerals alone are not enough reason to have you hooked, here are five
reasons you should always have apple cider vinegar on hand.
Support
weight loss: If
you're looking to shed a few pounds, it's time to start using apple cider
vinegar. Studies have shown that vinegar may help keep you from feeling hungry
by slowing
stomach emptying; it also lowers the glycaemic index of high-carb
foods like pasta, meaning it can help you feel fuller longer by slowing the
release of glucose into your bloodstream.
Improve digestion: The pectin in
apple cider vinegar has been known to move things along when bellies get backed
up. Up your fibre intake with a green salad with plenty of roughage topped off
with this honey apple
cider vinaigrette to improve your digestion situation.
Zap warts: This may come as a
surprise, but soaking a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and securing it on a pesky wart with
medical tape can get rid of it quickly and naturally. Keep this in mind before
you immediately call your dermatologist next time!
Add a pep to your step: Apple cider
vinegar is also credited with improving
energy levels. If you're cutting out caffeine at work, just a few
tablespoons of ACV mixed with a full glass of water can keep you from feeling
cloudy and get you back to work.
Boost immunity: When you're adding
that many healthy vitamins and minerals to your system, it's going to help your
immune system ward off illness. If you're already sick and in need of a little
help, drink hot apple
cider vinegar brew that combines cayenne, lemon, and honey,
which will help open up your sinuses and replenish your body with the minerals
it needs to recoup.
