Apple cider vinegar is made by fermenting apples.
Not only is it awesome at softening hair (I’ve been using nothing but water and occasional Chamomile or ACV rinse for 6 months now!) it also has numerous health benefits when ingested.
This includes weight loss, reduced cholesterol, lower blood sugar levels and improved symptoms of diabetes.
Choosing the right Apple Cider Vinegar
Most supermarket bought ACV has been distilled which meabs that the “mother” has been removed.
The “mother” refers to the strands of proteins, enzymes and good bacteria that are present.
It’s what gives the ACV a cloudy, appearance, sometimes with a few sediments.
To ensure that you’re getting maximum from your ACV then opt for the most natural, raw, unfiltered and organic version anyway.So, how do you make a palatable drink with apple cider vinegar?
It is also really simple to make your own apple cider vinegar and best of all it can be made with scraps from peeled amd cored apples.
