5 Ways With Apple Cider Vinegar
Did you know that Apple Cider Vinegar actually helps the body maintain a healthy pH level?
It actually helps bring our body’s into a more alkaline state which is exactly where we want them to be for great health and wellness. With our bodies in an alkaline state, we help our liver to detoxify, leading to significant declines in body weight, abdominal fat, waist circumference and triglycerides.
Seriously, who doesn’t want that?!
It’s great for our lymphatic system, helping break down mucus throughout the body and cleanse the lymph nodes – perfect for when fighting a blocked nose or sinus infection, and it’s also a must have for those of us with thyroid and gut related problems as it aids our digestion and helps boost our immune system due to its antibacterial properties.

Voila!
