(Not just any ACV…use Raw ACV with the Mother)

  1. ACV can help kill bad bacteria in your gut
  2. ACV, full of polyphenols, can help your gut produce more GOOD BACTERIA…this has implications for your brain and emotions because the neurotransmitter Serotonin (critical for feeling calm and happy) is produced in your gut; impacts your Immune System, and helps your production of B Vitamins!
  3. ACV can IMPROVE your Insulin Sensitivity after a high-carb meal; this means if you eat a meal of bread & pasta, for example, to help your blood sugar not spike so high and help your body use that glucose more efficiently.  ACV also helps your blood sugar levels in the morning, if you take 2 TBSP of ACV before bed, so that you wake up with a lower blood sugar reading, and helps you stay in a state where your body is burning fat instead of carbs
  4. ACV helps you “feel full” quicker…what a great thing if you have a habit of eating too fast or too much
  5. ACV (again, 2 tbsp) helped people lose weight around their hips specifically, lowered BMI and lowered their “bad” cholesterol while raising their “good” cholesterol after 12 wks daily

**ACV can be really hard on your tooth enamel, so mix it in 8oz of water and brush your teeth afterwards with toothpaste WITHOUT FLUORIDE!!
