Health Benefits of Drinking Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Drink

The health benefits of vinegar with live cultures are phenomenal and seem to never end.

  • Apple cider vinegar is a fermented food which adds good bacteria to the gastrointestinal
  • Aids to boost the immune system thanks to the good bacteria
  • Helps with weight loss, burns fat and suppresses the appetite
  • Keeps skin healthy and glowing
  • Heals acne when diluted and used externally.
  • May heal swimmers’ ear when place on a cotton ball and resting over the ear
  • Balances pH levels in the body and make the blood alkaline. When the body is in an alkaline state, disease, candida and bacteria cannot grow.
  • Provides better digestion
  • Can lower blood pressure, reduce high cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health thanks to apples [source].
  • May help type 2 diabetes and insulin levels
  • Brightens teeth, kills bad breath bacteria and removes teeth stains
  • High in calcium, magnesium, potassium and other vitamins and minerals
  • Contains lemon which, when mixed in water, is an excellent detox water and provides vitamin C to boost the immune system
  • Improves mood, fights anxiety and depression thanks to the addition of lemon [source]

How does one powerful substance do all that!? Apple cider vinegar (ACV) contains strand-like chains of protein enzyme molecules. These molecules help regulate bacteria that grows in the body with probiotics. When that bacteria is eliminated, your body can focus on growing and functioning properly. Skin looks better, the gut has been detoxed from toxins, the immune system gets a boost and the body is able to fight off sickness and disease [source].

It gets better…

What is the link between Apple cider vinegar and weight loss

Lots have emails have been rolling into my inbox lately regarding how to lose weight and get rid of that dreaded stomach fat. Drinking this vinegar drink diluted with water and eating a low carb, high protein diet usually supports weight loss. How much apple cider vinegar to drink? According to a study on Healthline, obese people who took 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) of apple cider vinegar daily for 12 weeks lost weight and body fat [source].

The connection to weight loss is due to the fact that raw apple cider vinegar is a fermented food, which is known to be healthy and beneficial to the gut. It contains acetic acid, which is known to reduce obesity in rates and even obese humans by decreasing abdominal fat and the build-up of liver and body fats. Fermented foods have been known to provide anti-obesity effects, speed up the metabolism, support and reduce hypertension and provide anti-cancer effects [source][source].

I personally try to drink this apple cider vinegar weight loss drink up to 3 times a day or fill a large 32-ounce mason jar full and sip up to two of them during the day. This recipe is included with all my detox drinks and I am providing a few alternative ways here to make it taste fabulous.

Last month I was eating too many carbs and gained about 5 pounds quickly. Mind you, I am writing a baking cookbook and HAD to test all the recipes😉.

I needed a reset button.

So, I started drinking my apple cider vinegar drink again and made sure meals were low carb (which is how I usually eat). Within 1 week those extra 5 pounds were gone!

The Apple Cider Vinegar Diet is one way people are having great success in losing weight. Here are a few ways to include this vinegar (with mother) into your daily routine.

  • Drink this recipe with Braggs Raw Unfiltered Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with mother – it contains fermented cultures similar to Kombucha and contains good bacteria in a potent form.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar Pills – Yes, you can take it in pill form! The only thing is if you include it in a drink form, you are flushing out bloating and toxins with water and lemon. If you choose the pill, make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day such as my lemon cucumber mint detox water.
  • Try this cabbage soup diet recipe. Add the vinegar right before eating. Cabbage is excellent to flush out toxins and boost the metabolism. Plus, this soup is low calorie, high fiber and filling.

Variations to make a detoxing Apple Cider Vinegar Drink Taste Delicious

This apple cider vinegar drink has only a few simple ingredients: organic raw apple cider vinegar (with the mother), lemon, water, ice (optional) and real maple syrup to sweeten. Here is the breakdown how to make this drink delicious!

  • Mix apple cider vinegar with lemon, water and Stevia or another natural sweetener. Lemon is also important for balancing pH levels and to alkaline the blood. Lemon aids to prevent kidney stones [source] and it decreases anxiety and depression as it has a calming effect. Together with ACV, you get a double boost of balancing power! Mixing apple cider vinegar with lemon also helps to reduce fatty stored within the liver [source].
  • Add a splash of fresh cranberry juice as cranberries are great for flushing the lymphatic system and cleansing the bladder and kidneys.
  • Thaw frozen berries, such as blueberries, blackberries, strawberries or raspberries. Pour the natural fruit juice into the apple cider vinegar drink to sweeten it naturally without added sugars. The bonus is you get extra powerful antioxidants!
  • Infuse this drink with fresh fruit. Add berries and let it set in the refrigerator for 3 hours to flavor the water.
  • Pour a dash of your favorite natural juice into the recipe.
  • Add additional flavors such as fresh ginger and honey or maple syrup. Maple syrup and honey are loaded with vitamins.
  • Garnish with fresh mint, which aids in digestion and settling stomach acid.
  • Add cayenne pepper to the drink to speed up the metabolism.

      It is not necessary. I drink it just lemon and apple cider with water all the time). Adding maple syrup is just if you have a hard time drinking it without:-).

      Yes, make sure to rinse your mouth out after or brush teeth after so the acid does not effect your teeth when sleeping.

    Due to some dental work I stopped taking the Apple cider vinegar for close to a year.
    Today I pulled out my open bottle of organic apple cider vinegar and found the “mother” had separated. Something was on the bottom and something else was floating in the middle. Should this be thrown away or shaken up and consumed?

      Hi Linda! Check if you see an expiration date. Usually if it is fermented that “preserves” it to a certain point. For example, mine from Costco has about a three year shelf life. Do you know when you purchased it? Most apple cider vinegar, if it is still good has that separation naturally and just needs shaking to mix it up before using. If it has expired or you are not sure when you purchased it, I suggest purchasing a new one to be safe.

      Hi Jen, It will help along with exercise (even light walking) and a clean eating diet that is not packed with sugar and carbs. It all depends on your diet as well. I eat very clean and minimal carbs and when I start adding my apple cider vinegar drink in each day I do see improvement in my gut health and a pound or two of weight loss.
