How to Lose Weight Using Apple Cider Vinegar

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is perhaps the most inexpensive and effective natural supplement for weight loss. As far back as 400BC, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, used a potent combination of honey and apple cider vinegar to treat various health issues, and ward off disease. I can attest from experience that from March-May of '07 I lost 30 pounds while using ACV daily. This natural elixir purifies the body by means of alkalizing your body's PH, and it will help you to regain your youthful vigor. It's an effective weapon against candida and yeast overgrowth and you're likely to see a healthy glow brighten your cheeks when using it. Perhaps most importantly, many have claimed that using Apple Cider Vinegar has helped lower their high blood pressure. It is unknown how this is accomplished, but If you're suffering from high blood pressure it is certainly worth a try. Because there are so many purported benefits with using Apple Cider Vinegar...I will highlight what I consider to be the most important benefits, while also explaining what type of Apple Cider Vinegar is the most beneficial for health.

Things You'll Need

• Cold pressed organic Apple Cider Vinegar
• Water

Instructions

1. 

   Take a trip to your local health food store or search online and find a organic cold-pressed Apple Cider Vinegar from organically grown apples. Conventional store bought Apple Cider Vinegar has been filtered, refined, distilled and pasteurized, to make it look more appealing to the buyer. Unfortunately the typical Apple Cider Vinegar is far less nutritious than the Organic kind. Opt for the health store variety with the 'mother'. Apple Cider Vinegar is an acquired taste and some may find it too pungent at first. If this is the case with you, introduce it to your tea at first, until you're used to the different taste. Some people prefer to take a 'shot' of Apple Cider Vinegar. I advise against this because that method can cause stomach upset.

2. 

   Start off using just 2 teaspoons a day in roughly 12 ounces of water. You can also add a bit to your tea. One of the healthiest concoctions I know of is green tea with honey and Apple Cider Vinegar. Don't buy the capsules. They are too acidic. Stick to the pure liquid options.

3. 

   Brush your teeth or at the very least rinse your mouth with water after using Apple Cider Vinegar. The acidity can cause the erosion of your dental enamel if it comes in contact with your teeth, and is allowed to remain there. This is a drawback of using Apple Cider Vinegar, but everything will be fine as long as you brush your teeth or rinse your mouth out with water after using. Using a straw to drink it will also help keep the ACV away from your teeth.

4. 

   As I mentioned earlier It's best to use the cold-pressed organically grown brand of Apple Cider Vinegar.

5. 

   Now that you know how to use it and where to find it, you need to know the benefits of using Apple Cider Vinegar. We know that it is being used to help people lose weight and control their high blood pressure, but there are many more benefits of drinking Apple Cider Vinegar that you should be aware of. The additional benefits include: Relief of sinus infections, reduction of high cholesterol, help with skin issues,a guard against food poisoning, relief of allergy symptoms, increased immune system function, improvement of stamina, age spots treatment, digestive aid, arthritis pain reliever and more.
