Why apple cider vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar is an excellent medicinal remedy that is able to cleanse and revitalize our body thanks to its very high nutritional value. Apple cider vinegar contains vitamins A and B, essential fatty acids, enzymes and many minerals such as lime, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, zinc, iron and silicon, among many others.

What are the health benefits?

• Its main virtue is that it helps us remove toxins thanks to its sulfur content and it also acts directly on the liver, helping to break down fat better.
• It also increases our metabolism and removes excess fat from our body, which helps us lose weight.
• Third , it is a good diuretic, so it helps our body remove the excess fluid that makes us feel bloated.
• If you also suffer from constipation, apple cider vinegar can improve the situation by increasing the necessary intestinal flora.

In addition to helping you lose weight in all these ways, if taken regularly it will also help you in the following cases:

• Prevents urinary tract infections and supports our kidneys, which helps keep the urinary tract clean of acidic urine.
• Prevents dry eyes  thanks to its vitamin A content.

How can you benefit from this cure?

The key to this cure is to take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar half an hour before each meal, accompanied by one or two glasses of warm water. If we suffer from heartburn we can add a pinch of baking soda as this will seem alkaline to balance the pH of the mixture.

It is important that the apple cider vinegar is organic and of the highest quality, and in order to be truly effective, it should be raw, not pasteurized, made according to the production method used in ancient times. In this way we will benefit from all its properties.
