If you feel as if you need a cleanse to rid your body of harmful toxins, the right foods can help clean out your system. Apple cider vinegar can be especially useful for its detoxifying properties.
Apple cider vinegar works to flush the liver of toxins improving its natural blood filtration process and boosting energy overall. It also supports a healthy lymphatic system that nurtures proper circulation of the lymph which essentially acts as the body’s garbage disposal.
ACV also promotes regularity and proper digestion. This is another way it helps the body eliminate toxins.
If you would like to incorporate apple cider vinegar into your diet to help you detoxify, you can mix up a simple solution that you can drink on a regular basis to get you feeling your best. The recipe is as follows:
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar
- 8 oz of purified or distilled water
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener to taste (these can include organic honey, maple syrup or Stevia)
For optimal health, most will drink this mixture 3 times a day; upon waking, midday and later in the evening. Many will include it in their diet for several days to a month to get the desired effects.
While doing an apple cider vinegar detox, it is recommended that you include plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains in your diet as these contain no toxins and will support the detox process while providing your body with the necessary vitamins and minerals. Do your best to stay away from meats that contain growth hormones and other toxins that are hard to digest and could defeat the purpose of your diet.
In addition to working as a detoxifier, apple cider vinegar also provides several health benefits including its ability to lower blood sugar levels, improve heart health, reduce belly fat, reduce pathogens and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
With all the benefits apple cider vinegar provides, there really is no reason not to include it in your healthy regimen. How will you be using it to boost your quality of life?
