Hey steemians, I would love to share the awesome and most helpful uses and benefits of this miracle vinegar... I hope you find it most helpful
Raw, organic ,unfiltered and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar or ACV for short is one of the oldest and most useful remedy on earth it contains tons of raw enzymes and useful bacteria that are responsible for majority of its health benefits...
So there are wide speculations to just how much apple cider vinegar can do in one's body well most of them are true
Here's some important ones
1.IT HELPS REDUCE BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL
Studies conducted outside Arizona State University by professor and director of the nutrition department Dr. Carol Johnson supports the therapeutic effects of drinking ACV ..particularly people with type two diabetes and people that struggle with pre-diabetes that were not taking insulin after two tablespoons of ACV before bed reduced glucose levels by morning another study shows that also, people that had developed insulin resistance taking two tablespoons of ACV diluted with water before eating a high carbohydrate meal had lower blood sugar afterwards by 4 to 6 percent
2.IT ALSO LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE
There is scientific evidence which proves that ACV can lower blood pressure which in turn lessens the risk of heart disease.. ACV contains potassium which is known to help balance the bodies sodium levels and maintain optimal blood pressure it also contains magnesium which helps to relax blood vessel walls and ultimately lower blood pressure
3 IT WORKS WONDERS FOR YOUR HAIR
Apple cider vinegar has long been used as an alternative to shampoo, not only does it help to remove excess buildup of mineral deposits, it improves blood circulation to the hair follicles to encourage hair growth and prevent loss. If you rinse your hair regularly with apple cider vinegar, it makes removing tangles from your hair easier and closes the cuticles to improve porosity and encourage stronger strands, it leads to a reduction in breakage and split ends.
To use ACV as a rinse, combine a cup of water with a quarter cup of ACV. After you’ve washed your hair in the shower, be sure that it’s thoroughly rinsed and then pour the mixture over your head, making sure to avoid getting it into your eyes. Massage it into your scalp for a minute or two to stimulate blood circulation and hair growth, and then rinse well.
4.DRINKING ACV CAN HELP PREVENT OSTEOPOROSIS
More than one in four women in America over the age of 65 have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. To get this diagnosis means that they’ve lost 50 to 75 percent of the original bone material from their skeleton. This frightening condition is estimated to affect 200 million women worldwide – about one of every 10 women aged 60, one of every five women aged 70, and two of every five women aged 80.
Obviously, preventing this disease before it ravages your bones is key, and as ACV aids in the nutrient absorption of calcium, an essential mineral for preventing osteoporosis, it’s one of the best tools you can use to reduce your risk. By drinking it along with each meal, it will help to ensure proper calcium absorption to strengthen your bones.
5.IT CAN GET RID OF WARTS
ACV can get rid of warts too . While it doesn’t kill the virus, because it’s high in acidity, it can attack the flesh that makes up the wart, killing it so that it will naturally peel away from the skin. This also takes the virus along with it, which helps to prevent a recurrence. For this purpose, gather up about two tablespoons of ACV, some cotton balls, and a bandage. Soak a cotton ball in the apple cider vinegar allowing it to completely saturate, and then gently squeeze out the excess liquid so that it is not dripping when you apply it to the wart. Place it over the wart, and then secure it with a bandage. Repeat this every day, and it should die and come off within a couple of weeks.
6.ACV MAKES AN EFFECTIVE TONER
Why spend an arm and a leg on a pricey toner that probably contains multiple toxic compounds. Instead, save some cash and your health by mixing equal parts of water and ACV. Used as you would any toner, the mixture helps to even out skin tone, balance skin pH and even battle breakouts too. The malic acid in ACV contains antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties that keep the skin clean, balanced and free of acne while encouraging it to heal itself.
ACV CAN FADE SPOTS
Those creams and lotions with alpha-hydroxy acid that are designed to fade age spots can also come with a high price tag, but you can replace them with inexpensive ACV. ACV also contains alpha-hydroxy acid, which helps the skin stay firm, fresh and renew itself. To use, combine an equal amount of water and ACV, dip a cotton ball or pad into it and then dab it onto age spots, allowing it to soak in. Leave it on for a couple of minutes initially – if your skin reacts well, leave it on longer for the best results (10 to 15 minutes), and then rinse.
6.ACV CAN ALSO BE USED TO ACIDIFY YOUR GARDEN SOIL
Some plants prefer more acidic soil, and if you need to adjust the pH level of your garden soil to help them thrive, you can use ACV instead of harsh, expensive commercially produced products. Soil with a pH that ranges from 1 to 6 is considered acidic, and while most plants require a pH between 6.5 and 7, others need those more acidic conditions – test your soil first to determine its precise pH before amending it with ACV. If it needs to be more acidic, mix a gallon of water with a cup of ACV in a watering can and then pour it over the soil.
7.IT MAKES A GREAT FERTILIZER
You may have heard that white vinegar is an effective herbicide, but ACV has the opposite effect due to its 5 percent acidity. It can be used as a fertilizer to maintain healthy plants, for those that thrive on more acidic soil, like azaleas, gardenias, and blueberry bushes. Simply add 10 ounces of it into a 10-gallon bucket, and then fill the remainder with water. Pour the mixture onto the soil and around the roots, using a sprayer or watering can, of each plant you want to fertilize. If the sun is out, be especially careful not to touch the plants themselves, as they’re likely to wilt.
8.ACV GETS RID OF SPOTS
When you wash your face daily with apple cider vinegar you will notice a substantial difference in age spots. Apple cider vinegar contains alpha hydroxy acids that will remove dead skin and reveal healthy and vibrant new skin. In addition to washing with a splash of apple cider vinegar, dab a little on a cotton ball and apply directly to age spots. Wait about thirty minutes and rinse your face with cool water and pat dry. Do this twice daily for six weeks and you will see a difference.
- ACV FIGHTS ACNE, PIMPLES AND BLEMISHES No need to buy commercial acne cream when you can use apple cider vinegar. When apple cider vinegar is made, malic acid forms. This makes apple cider vinegar a potent antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral substance capable of keeping bacteria at bay and pimples from forming.
- ACV BALANCES YOUR SKIN PH LEVELS
While removing oil from your skin, apple cider vinegar also helps to balance pH and keeps your skin from becoming too oily or too dry by balancing the production of sebum. Rinse your face daily with apple cider vinegar if you desire balance.
- ACV HELPS GET RID OF WRINKLES.
Diluted apple cider vinegar face wash can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. You can soak a cotton pad or cotton cloth in diluted apple cider vinegar and dab on your skin. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
ACV CAN ALSO REMOVE THE SMELL OF CAT URINE
