I remember when the whole apple cider vinegar “trend” first came around. I was intrigued but I didn’t get it and I definitely wasn’t feeling brave enough to try it. But I have to admit, I’m SO happy that not only was I brave enough to try it, I’ve discovered my favorite morning cocktail.
But I got to thinking, maybe we all need a reminder as to why we are (or should consider) doing this! Sure, it’s “for our health” but do we really know why? Here are 5 benefits of apple cider vinegar that you may or may not know:
- Helps aid digestion
- Increases metabolism
- Helps clear skin
- Boosts energy
- Helps control blood sugar
I can attest to these myself 100%! Since I started taking apple cider vinegar every morning, I’ve cut down my daily coffee intake, losing that mid afternoon cup most days of the week, my skin has definitely been clearing up, and my digestion has felt a million times better, even from when I took a daily probiotic.
Needless to say, I am sold and see no reason to turn back now!
Are you a morning apple cider vinegar fan?

I drink it in the morning… 1 tablespoon w/ a tablespoon of raw honey in a cup of hot water. I also put 1 tablespoon in my Mean Green juice that I make and drink everyday!

I also remember this trend. My goodness this stuff was purported to cure whatever ails you, while also cleaning stains on your fabrics and polishing jewelry to perfection. I laughed at it then but I have say, I think a lot of the rumors were true. The key is to get a good product, not some cheap diluted vinegar. I think you nailed it! Thank you for sharing. I’ll have to give this a shot 🙂

I used to drink ACV every single morning, however, for whatever reason I stopped but I really need to get back into it as I really did see the benefits!

I have been living off of ACV for years! I swear by it! I even wash my hair with it! Thanks for sharing!
I have this every morning. It helps with my digestion. Not sure about the rest personally. Aloe vera juice has also helped my digestion a ton!
I have heard amazing things about apple cider vinegar…guess it’s time to look into it!

WOW i have never used apple cider vinegar before but it looks like i’ll be buying some next time I’m at the store. Sounds great!
Thats awesome! It also helps get rid of gnats in your house if you have any flying around!
I really need to up my ACV game (and decrease my caffeine intake, too)! Thanks so much for sharing this yummy cocktail 🙂

I’ve been putting one teaspoon in a glass of water each morning for the past month and have seen the changes. I didn’t realize until reading this that I too have dropped my afternoon coffee. How much do you put in your water?
I keep hearing about how amazing apple cider vinegar is so I’m going to have to try it!

I always forget to make my ACV juice shots so I take them in the morning. This is a great reminder of the benefits and why I need to continue it!! Thank you.

I have some apple cider vinegar in the fridge, but I always forget about drinking some in the morning. These health benefits are a great reminder.

Thanks for sharing! I occasionally have it in the morning because I know it’s “good for me” but didn’t really know why. Knowing the specific benefits definitely makes me more incline to drink it!

I take a tablespoon every morning. Plus I make mine own because it is just so darn easy.

I’ve heard so many great things about apple cider vinegar. That and aloe juice.
I cannot stand the taste but the benefits outweigh it every time. Great info!
