How to Detoxify Using Vinegar
Our bodies are exposed to toxins every day when we drive our cars, work in cities, breathe in pollution, and eat junk food. We feel sluggish, worn out, and in need of a good natural body cleanse. Using vinegar as a detoxifying remedy can provide a multitude of body cleansing benefits, as it contains vitamins, minerals and enzymes that detoxify and boost immunity, stimulate circulation, fight bacteria, lower bad cholesterol, break down stored fat, purify the blood, help digestion, prevent diarrhea, and relieve joint pain. Vinegar can be sipped, added to a bath, or applied topically. Follow these simple steps to add a vinegar detox program to your daily routine.

Tips & Warnings
For best detoxifying results, choose an unfiltered and unprocessed organic apple cider vinegar with "mother" in it.
Add a little vinegar to sauces and salad dressings to get an extra dose of detoxification in your diet.
The standard dose for a vinegar detox plan is 2 Tbsp. of vinegar mixed into 16 oz. of water once or twice daily.
Soaking in a vinegar bath can also help relieve joint pain.
Avoid buying cheap apple cider vinegar. It might be a bottle of white distilled vinegar with a little caramel color added to disguise it as the real thing.
