Why We Love Apple Cider Vinegar and Why You Should Too

Wondering what the rave is about Apple Cider Vinegar (or ACV)? If you haven't heard, there are so many great health benefits that go along with a product that you probably have stashed in the back of your pantry. Apple Cider Vinegar benefits are plentiful and after reading a recent blog post by my ladies over at BMOREtoned, I figured this would be a good topic to touch on. Oh and check out the BMOREtoned blog today. They mentioned the upcoming SoulBody event at Under Armour this weekend and talk about some other great fitness events going on this weekend in Baltimore. It's such a great time of year to get active, enjoy the city and meet some amazing people who share the same passion for fitness. Two of BMOREtoned founders, Kate Rowe and Annie Truax, are also a part of the SoulBody community and currently teach Body Barre at BeachFit Baltimore. You can read more about the amazing BMOREtoned team here. 

Okay...onto Apple Cider Vinegar chat. So why consume ACV? Here are just a few of the many benefits and cures:

• Rich in potassium which is key for growth, building muscles

• Rich in acetic acid which is helps with digestion

• Helps to regulate blood pressure and reduce bad cholesterol

• May help improve bowel irregularity and helps to remove toxins from the body

• It can help clear up skin conditions and blemishes

• ACV helps with weight loss by breaking down fats so that your body can use them 

Another thing to note when buying Apple Cider Vinegar is to ALWAYS make sure you are using organic, raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar in order to reap the benefits. I am a huge fan of Bragg. They have some other great products too including salad dressings, seasonings, liquid aminos and more.

 Try this recipe (one of my favorites) first thing in the morning. You can also head over to the BMOREtoned blog for some of our other favorite recipes.
