10 Amazing Health Benefits of Apple Cider

Source: healthyandnaturalworld.com

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) and honey are two amazing natural substances. When you consume them in their unprocessed, raw forms, the health benefits abound. If you put the two together, the results become even more positive. In addition, the use of sweet honey makes the taste of the drink more pleasing.

Fight joint pain, inflammation, digestive problems and sore throat in a natural way by consuming a concoction of ACV and honey on an empty stomach, and observe for yourself the great offerings of nature.

Why is the combination of ACV & honey so successful?

The overwhelming benefits of the mixture can be explained by looking at their chemical properties and interactions with the body. Many experts believe that we become ill when our bodies turn overly acidic (pH below 7). Vinegar is naturally acidic, but when consumed, it turns alkaline. Honey, too, has a low pH, but raises the alkalinity of the body once eaten.

The two substances are a perfect way to get rid of excessive acidity (resulting from stressful lifestyle and unhealthy foods and drinks) and building an internal environment with a protective pH. Our bodies function at their best and healthiest when the body’s pH is between 7.0 and 7.4, so slightly alkaline.

How to make ACV & honey healing drink

Make sure you get the ingredients that are unfiltered and in their natural forms. Honey and ACV that have not been processed, thus have maintained all their nutritional properties, appear cloudy. Also, check the label and go for ACV with the ‘mother of vinegar’, which can be seen as a pulp on the bottom of the bottle.

Mix together:

  • 1 teaspoon raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon ACV (if you can tolerate the taste, increase the dosage to up to 1 tablespoon)
  • 8 oz. warm water (1 glass)

You might initially struggle with the potent taste, but once you experience the benefits, you’ll most likely want to stick with the concoction.

When to drink a mixture of ACV and honey?

It’s best to drink the mixture on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning. Consume it about 20-30 minutes before you eat. Be consistent and drink it on a daily basis.

Some suggest increasing the intake to two, or even three, times a day, depending on your needs and tolerance for taste. As with many other natural remedies, it is best to test it for yourself and see what works for your body, although high consumption of ACV may cause low potassium levels and lowers bone density. Also ACV may interact with diuretics, laxatives, and medicines for diabetes and heart disease, so if you’re planning to use it on a daily basis make sure to consult your doctor to avoid interactions with the medicines you’re taking.

    I’ve been using this mixture morning and evening for about a month in the following mix.

    16 oz of lite Mango passion fruit mfg by Minute Maid. Braggs ACV, Raw Texas Honey

    In a container mix;
    16 ounces Juice
    4 tbsp acv
    2 tbsp honey

    Shake the mixture until honey is desolved and drink it mornings before the gym and evening before bed.

    I like the taste and have more energy and my appetite is suppressed dramatically.

    Do you think using the mix as you suggested would produce better results?

    SKIP THE HONEY….JUST DILUTE THE ACV IN A LITTLE
    JUICE & THEN HOLD YOUR BREATH WHILE DRINKING IT.
    THEN TAKE A LITTLE MORE JUICE FOR A “CHASER” & THE
    JOB IS ACCOMPLISHED EASILY (DON’T FORGET TO BREATH
    AFTER THE CHASER!!)

    You can’t beat apple cider vinegar and raw honey. Adding a dusting of cinnamon makes the drink taste like apple cider. Been doing a 4 oz glass of water with 2tbsp of ACV and 1 of honey twice a day. Already, the joint pains are decidedly lessening. You can actually feel the difference in just two days.
    I encourage everyone reading this to give it a try.
    Major Pharma is having conniptions re spread of this info. You have to wonder why. You’ll get your answer as soon as you’ve done two or more days. It works. Be consistent and dedicated to giving this experiment a week. If you don’t find extra energy (I clearly felt that for the first time in a few years) after two days.
    I also recommend a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in a different glass of water. The hydrogen peroxide has to be a 35% food grade product. You can get it at health supply stores. It oxygenates your blood at the cellular level. Another great boost. I’m using two drops per 4 oz of water. Three times a day. Major improvement.
