An Apple (cider vinegar) a Day Keeps the Doctor Away?

Take the 30 day challenge with us!

We here at sabrela have been taking apple cider vinegar for one week now. We are committed to taking it until June 15th to see if we notice any difference. Historically apple cider vinegar has been used as a natural remedy for numerous illnesses. As well it has been used as a natural remedy to improve beauty. After researching extensively all the benefits of apple cider vinegar we wanted to have first hand knowledge as to whether the claims this product makes are accurate. After just one week of taken a shot of vinegar each morning we can honestly say we notice a difference in our energy level, attention span, and finally brightness in our skin! 

If you are interested in buying apple cider vinegar and seeing for yourself if it helps improve your beauty and health please beware that not all apple cider vinegars are created equal! Many commercial apple cider vinegars have been pasteurized, filtered, refined or distilled in order to make the product look good. However you must buy the raw, unfiltered kind, containing the "mother of vinegar" in the ingredient list. “Bragg’s Organic” is the one I prefer and you can buy it from any health food store around. 

So what are the health claims and benefits that this vinegar makes? They include cures for allergies (including pet, food and environmental), sinus infections, acne, high cholesterol, flu, chronic fatigue, acid reflux, sore throats, arthritis, gout, and the list goes on and on.  Apple Cider Vinegar also breaks down fat and is widely used to lose weight. It has also been reported that a daily dose of apple cider vinegar in water has high blood pressure under control in two weeks! Are the claims that apple cider vinegar is a powerful weight loss aid actually true? Well there has been no scientific data that backs up this claim, however you can try incorporating this vinegar into your daily life and see for yourself?  

Many people use it in salad dressings or drink a tablespoon diluted in a glass of water once or twice per day. It is generally believed that the nutrients, enzymes, and organic acids in apple cider vinegar cause weight reduction by acting as an appetite suppressant, by increasing your body's metabolic rate, by reducing water retention, and by helping you maintain a feeling of well being.

Not only can apple cider vinegar be internally digested, but it can also be used externally as a natural facial remedy, often being used as a natural treatment for acne. It helps to clear blemishes on the skin by balancing the skin's acidity and killing bacteria.

When used as a toner, it absorbs the excess oil from skin that causes breakouts. Apply apple cider vinegar mixed with water onto your skin with a cotton ball. For severe acne, it should be left on overnight. The use of apple cider vinegar can give facial skin a smoother texture. As well it can help get rid of age spots, causing them to fade gradually. 

The effect of apple cider vinegar on age spots appears to work best when you drink the beverage and apply it directly to the spots. Therefore by using the vinegar both internally and externally you could help improve your skin's texture and look. A final use for apple cider vinegar for the skin is when you have a sunburn. Gently patting the affected area with a cotton ball soaked in apple cider vinegar can help alleviate the sting and redness of a sunburn! Who would have known? The list goes on and on, and by searching the internet you can read all the claims this vinegar has. 

However here at sabrela we like to experiment with these natural health remedies first hand. We are on day seven of the 30 day challenge. It is not too late to take this challenge with us! Go purchase your apple cider vinegar from your local health store and start today. All it takes is a shot of this vinegar a day and you will begin to notice a difference in your skin and well being within a week.
