Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a pretty inexpensive way to enhance your health.

I picked up a bottle of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar for $4 at the grocery store last night.

Check out the video to learn about some of the benefits and cleansing effects.

Some of the Best Ways to Consume Apple Cider Vinegar

• Make an oil and vinegar salad dressing for your organic salad. Use olive, sesame or canola oil. Add some herbs and sea salt for flavor.
• Drink it straight – follow with some pure water to rinse your teeth.
• Mix with pure water and drink.
• Add to your favorite recipes.

Pure, Organic and Unfiltered is the Key

Highly processed varieties of apple cider vinegar do not have the same benefits. You may have to visit your local health food store to find a good one. I was lucky enough tot find it in a regular grocery store.

Enzyme Balance

I feel so much better when I get myself into what I call, “Positive Enzyme Balance”

First I eat lots of locally grown, organic vegetables.

Then I make sure my digestive system has very light duty. During my Detox Boot Camp, I consume small amounts of fat and protein.

Nutritional Needs

Consuming a bit of fat and protein ensures that I won’t suffer some kind of major deficiency druing the detox. I can still function in everyday life. Unlike fasting or juice fasting, where you can really hit a low energy crisis. I learned long ago, the body actually needs protein for the detoxification organs to work efficiently.

Extra Enzymes

In addition I’m also taking enzyme supplements by mouth, several times throughout the course of the day. I take some before a meal, (or protein smoothie. if you call that a meal), and then 2-3 more during or after the meal. right now I’m taking 2 different enzyme supplements, Food Enzymes and Proactazyme Plus. both by Natures’ Sunshine.

Positive Enzyme Balance

So if all goes well, I am achieving positive enzyme balance. I am taking in more enzymes than I need for digestion. This leaves enzymes left over to be absorbed into my body, to go around and do good stuff in my system. This is known as – Systemic Enzyme Therapy. I’ll go into more detail in a future post.
