Here is a quick and dirty look into just a few benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar! This magical substance is much deserving of more than one blog post, so I am going to take my time on this one, and give out information in short bursts.
Historically, evidence credits ancient Babylonians (5,000 B.C.) with creating vinegar or "sour wine". The benefits of apple cider vinegar were not overlooked by the doctors and healers of the time! They used it to treat wounds and were prescribe it as a tonic solution for a persistent cough. Studies have shown that apple cider vinegar has a profound ability to improve blood sugar regulation and speed up weight loss… something our entire society is striving for! (NaturalNews)
The most common uses or ‘natural remedies’ for ACV that you will hear people discuss around the lunch table at work, or on the radio are for facilitating weight loss and for being a powerful digestive aid. While both of these are very true, apple cider vinegar has countless incredible health benefits.
