Though apple cider vinegar might not be the
most delicious elixir. Look for the traditional bottle, when you buy it. If you just can't manage
the taste for the brief moment on the palate, ACV comes with several benefits.
MIND
Between meals, drinking the pungent solution it helps break down proteins into amino acids. It is important, because after amino acids are broken down, the body allocates them to assist in the development and work of hormones, which may help regulate stress hormones. Such broken-down amino acids are also an essential factor in tryptophan production, which helps us release our happy neurotransmitter, serotonin. Not only does serotonin help us feel comfortable but it also increases our mood in general. The more we can support our own natural serotonin production, the more we can fight against chronic stress rates of anxiety, depression and spiked cortisol that lead to illness and ageing.
BODY
Take it before meals, it can not only help with the vital functions that have already been described, but can also make us feel more fuller and help with weight loss. The enzymes that exist naturally are ideal for digestion and can help to reduce glucose levels, which is good news for diabetics. Diluted before meals in water, it can also help relieve and avoid acid reflux and heartburn, and gas and bloating. But one of the bigger kickers maybe is the potential of ACV to help alkalize our bodies. It's a perfect everyday activity to get the body to a healthy PH.
BEAUTY
Apple cider vinegar is astringent, making it a great spot treatment for blemishes. But its alkalizing abilities are also useful for odors. Don’t be fooled by its sour smell—ACV actually helps to neutralize bad aromas and work as a natural deodorant—once it’s dry, its own scent is not detectable.
These same pH-balancing properties for our insides and our skin are also effective for our hair health! ACV helps to create shine and soft texture for the hair shaft, detox the scalp, and soothe dandruff. Dilute some in water inside a squeeze bottle with a spout like those used in home hair-dye kits. Apply directly to your damp scalp in the shower and massage in, letting it run down the strands. Let it work its magic for a few short minutes, and rinse with cool water for soft, shiny locks.
You can also drink it with Honey.
