5 Surprising Reasons to use Apple Cider Vinegar Daily

If you check your pantry, you will probably already find it there: Apple cider vinegar. With its plentiful benefits, vinegar is not only used for cooking or for salad dressings, but it's also useful for health purposes (like curing hiccups and alleviating cold symptoms), cleaning, garden care, hygiene, and much more. Read on more for surprising and proven reasons to use apple cider vinegar, especially raw, organic and unfiltered, every day. 

1. Support weight loss
Trying to get rid of some pounds? Try including apple cider vinegar in your diet. Studies have shown that vinegar may keep you from feeling hungry by slowing stomach emptying, and it also lowers the glycemic index of high-carb foods like pasta and bread - meaning that it can help you feel fuller longer.

2. Help stomach problems
Apple cider vinegar has antibiotic properties, which can help your stomach troubles if a bacterial infection is at the root of it. The pectin in vinegar also can help to soothe intestinal spasm and release bloating. 

3. Balance your system and give energyVinegar helps the body to maintain a healthy alkaline pH level. Research has shown that higher acid levels lead to a lack of energy. Also, the potassium and enzymes in apple cider vinegar help to banish fatigue, leading to higher energy levels. 

4. Sooth a sore throat

When you start feeling the first signs of a sore throat, mix 1/4 cups of apple cider vinegar with 1/4 cups of warm water and gargle around every hour. The vinegar will help the infection to pass, since most germs can't survive in the acidic environment of vinegar. 

5. Clear acne and use as a facial toner

The antibacterial properties in apple cider vinegar help to keep acne under control, while the acids soften and exfoliate the skin. Also, it reduces red spots and balance the pH of your skin. Use a cotton ball to apply the vinegar on your skin.
