Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar with "The Mother"

Hey guys a quick health post today about the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar. The one caveat, you want to make sure that your Apple Cider Vinegar contains "The Mother." This style of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is unfermented so it will be cloudy and form a film on the bottom of the bottle. This film is the result of bacteria fermentation. This "Mother" contains many powerful and healthy nutrients, so be sure that your ACV has it.

Here are some the benefits:

The "Mother" in ACV is high in iron. Iron is necessary for the body to create the protein hemoglobin that carries oxygen in the blood. Additionally, iron plays a role in normal growth, development and cellular function.

Good Source of Phenolic Compounds. The phytochemicals in the "Mother" falls under the category of phenolic acids that help protect against diseases. One of the major phenols in the "Mother" of ACV and mother of pomegranate vinegar is gallic acid, a substance also found in tea and grapes.

High in Prebiotics. Prebiotics serve as food for beneficial bacteria that live in the intestines. When you eat prebiotic foods, the good bacteria are able to grow and flourish. Probiotics crowd out harmful bacteria and a balanced population of friendly bacteria keep your digestive system healthy. Prebiotics reduce the risk of allergies and gastrointestinal infections

Contains "B" Vitamins. B complex vitamins help the body produce energy from the foods you eat. B vitamins also keep your nervous system healthy; a deficiency causes peripheral nerve problems where you feel tingling sensations. Another important role of B vitamins is to help the body produce red blood cells to circulate oxygen and nutrients. Leafy greens, beans, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products are other sources of B vitamins.

Try drinking ACV first thing in the morning. You can drink it straight, though that might be a little rough if you're not used to it. You can also add 2 tablespoons to your favorite tea, or even sparkling water. If you do drink it straight, you should follow it with water immediately. You don't want the ACV lingering on the enamel of your teeth.

Well there you have it. Thanks for stopping by. I hoped you learned something today or if you have something to add please comment. Take care and stay safe out there,
