TOP 8 HEALTH BENEFITS OF RAW APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

By Divya Chowfin

Apple cider vinegar is known as a health and wellness elixir for a number of reasons. It heals your gut, promotes heart health by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, and is great for your hair and skin, too! 

So, what is Apple Cider Vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is made by fermenting apples. There are two varieties of this vinegar available in the market. Refined and distilled vinegar is a clear liquid whereas raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar contains a cloudy, stringy substance, called “the mother,” that usually settles down in the bottom of the jar. The mother is a complex structure made up of beneficial proteins and natural enzymes. 

As is the case with most natural things, unfiltered and unrefined vinegar has many benefits that are lost when it is filtered and heated. Here’s where you can get a bottle of raw unfiltered vinegar made with organic apples.

8 Health Benefits of Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)

  1. Boosts Immunity
  2. Apple cider vinegar is a miraculous drink because of the nutrients it holds. This nutritional powerhouse contains magnesium, iron, phosphorus, manganese, amino acids, antioxidants and only 3 calories per tablespoon. Including ACV in your daily diet will naturally boost your immunity.
  3. Reduces Blood Sugar
  4. ACV is scientifically proven to keep blood sugar levels in check. Studies have shown that 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bedtime can reduce fasting blood sugar in the morning by 4%. Vinegar is not only beneficial for those battling diabetes but for anyone who wants to keep his/her sugar levels in check.
  5. Helps In Weight Loss
  6. Apple cider vinegar is often touted as a weight loss aid and belly fat burner, and rightly so! It increases satiety (feeling of fullness) which prevents people from overeating. Include ACV to your daily diet and keep those calories in check.
  7. Controls Cholesterol & Blood Pressure
  8. Apple Cider Vinegar is also great for your heart as it keeps cholesterol and blood pressure in check. The natural antioxidants reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL (good cholesterol). ACV helps blood vessels relax and, therefore, blood pressure under control.
  9. Improves Digestion
  10. Is heartburn, indigestion and bloating getting you down? Fight digestive issues naturally with unfiltered ACV. It boosts the production of stomach acids that break down food and aid in the assimilation of nutrients.
  11. Soothes Sore Throat
  12. Gargle the pain in your throat away! Add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to a glass of warm water and gargle. The acidity in ACV can kill the bacteria in the throat and soothe a sore throat.
  13. Good For Skin
  14. Apple Cider Vinegar is good for you – both inside and outside! It is said to prevent acne and pimples, heal sunburn, soothe the skin, remove age spots and fight wrinkles. How? Rub a piece of cotton dipped in ACV on your face and wash after half an hour.
  15. Promotes Healthy Hair
  16. ACV is more than an awesome kitchen ingredient. It also works wonders as a hair rinse. ACV can soothe the scalp, prevents hair fall, hydrates natural or curly hair, restores scalp pH and boosts shine. What’s not to love?

 

How to use Apple Cider Vinegar?
