What is Apple Cider Vinegar Drink?

An Apple Cider Vinegar Drink is a beverage made from apple cider vinegar, water, and other ingredients such as honey or lemon juice. It has been used for centuries to promote health and wellness.

The drink is believed to have many benefits including helping the digestion system, improving overall gut health, boosting the immune system, and helping with weight loss.

It can also be used as a natural remedy for various ailments such as colds, headaches, acid reflux, heartburn, and even acne. The drink is easy to make and can be enjoyed hot or cold.

What is Apple Cider Vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is the key ingredient in this drink! ACV is a type of vinegar that's derived from crushed apples, yeast, and sugar. It's commonly used in many recipes as an ingredient, including in foods such as salad dressings, and pickles.

Fermentation is the method by which apple cider vinegar is produced. After a few weeks, the yeast in the mixture digests the sugar in the apple juice, converting it to alcohol. The alcohol is then broken down by natural bacteria into acetic acid, which gives vinegar its tangy taste and smell.

The majority of ACV sold in supermarkets is clear, pasteurized, and filtered. However, raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar with cloudy sediment is also available. This substance, known as 'the mother,' is composed of settled bacteria and yeast.

It's important to go for unfiltered apple cider vinegar to make the most of this drink. Recently, more and more research is coming out on the health benefits of this incredible ingredient. I've mentioned all the benefits of ACV in this post.

What are the Benefits of Drinking Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Drink?

The benefits of drinking an Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) drink are numerous. It is believed to aid in digestion, boost the immune system, and help with weight loss. Additionally, it can be used as a natural remedy for various ailments such as colds, headaches, and even acne.

ACV is rich in vitamins and minerals that help to improve overall health. It helps reduce cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and help improve overall heart health. 

What's best is that it can help improve digestion and is a natural laxative too. ACV is known to help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, and that's one of the top reasons why I've used it after my last two pregnancies. 

You can use it to cleanse and boost your energy, and it truly makes for the perfect detox drink. The drink is also known to help balance the body’s pH levels, which can help reduce inflammation and promote overall wellness.

Why I Drink Apple Cider Vinegar Drink Everyday

So, why I have so actively used this cocktail? The benefits I experienced, of course. During my last two pregnancies, I developed gestational diabetes and had to stay away from consuming carbs as much as possible. That was very hard for me with the major sweet tooth that I have.

After a couple of months of post-delivery, I noticed that high-sugar sweets had an effect on my blood sugar levels like they never had before.

So, to combat that and lose some pregnancy weight I used the diet I posted earlier to fall within the normal BMI (Body Mass Index) range. It really lowered my weight and blood sugar levels. Losing all those extra pounds it helped my body to tolerate sugar much better.

But how do you keep the weight off? I received a huge amount of questions about that. Of course, by consuming this cocktail on a daily basis. Choosing to eat whatever your eyes see and expect to lose hundreds of pounds is not gonna happen. This cocktail boosts weight loss with healthy eating and regular exercise.

What Does Apple Cider Vinegar Drink Do For Your Body?

So, what exactly does Apple Cider Vinegar do for your body? A glass of this cocktail in the tummy before meals helps acetic acid in the vinegar turn on genes that trigger enzymes that break down fat preventing weight gain.

I've experienced that myself. It not only prevents me from gaining weight, but it also helps me slowly lose weight. That means after being on the diet I switch to this cocktail consumption on a regular basis and I keep losing weight by eating regular healthy food.

If you add regular exercise too you will be very successful. It does works! Yes, this is hard work, and takes a lot of self-control to stay motivated.

While dieting is super hard and requires a lot of self-control, I've experienced that losing weight was not its only benefit. It also serves to detoxify and flush your digestive systems with the mix of processed and junk food regularly put in it.

After your body readjusts to cleaner eating, you begin to notice many different benefits: energy, vitality, healthier skin, and much more.

Every diet and exercise is not easy. Being consistent is even harder and requires lots of patience! So, if you're going to diet, it's good to really give your body a break from having to digest things it wasn't meant to, it's worthwhile giving it a near-fasting kind of break and using very little to no processed foods. Your body will thank you.

Does ACV Drink Help with Dieting and Detoxifying?

Yes, it absolutely does. And alongside other healthy habits, you'll be able to detoxify properly.

I strongly believe that to look younger and stay healthier our bodies need detox periods and breaks from regular food consumption to flush chemicals and toxins out either by liquid or crash diets.

Another very healthy and beneficial thing in our life is fasting. Fasting is not only beneficial to our spiritual, but physical life too.

During this time, you only consume distilled water resulting in many chemicals and toxins being flushed out as well. You can do this fairly easily one day (24 hours) out of each week. Your body becomes lighter, your face becomes brighter, and your smile becomes wider! 

Once you begin to detox your body your stomach shrinks, which allows you to become full of just a small amount of food. Another interesting thing that happens is that your taste buds repel toxic food.

I mean, you develop such a taste for natural, real food that your taste buds, and your body, ceases to find processed food tasty or enjoyable. Trust me, speaking from experience; soda will taste like sugared diesel and doughnuts will taste like sweetened lubricant mechanical grease. That's how I usually describe it to my kids.

What You Need to Make Apple Cider Vinegar Drink at Home

You only need three simple ingredients to make this incredible drink at home. Let's look at what these are:

• Water: First of all, we'll need some water since we'll be diluting our ACV into it. 
• Apple cider vinegar: The next ingredient is, of course, our apple cider vinegar! Make sure you get unfiltered apple cider vinegar 'with the mother.' A great brand that's commonly available in grocery stores is Bragg. 
• Honey: We'll also be using some raw honey to sweeten the drink and balance out the flavors. Honey also includes many antioxidants which makes it the perfect ingredient for this healthy drink. 

How to Make Apple Cider Vinegar Drink (Step-by-Step)

It's incredibly easy to make this apple cider vinegar drink. Here's how to make it step by step:

Combine water, apple cider vinegar, and honey in a glass cup.

Stir it all together. Let the cocktail sit in the glass, it will take a few minutes for the honey to dissolve since the colder the water the longer it will take for the honey to dissolve. Stir it well again and then have it right away!

Serving Suggestions for Apple Cider Vinegar Drink

Drink apple cider vinegar drink twice a day 5 minutes before a meal. I recommend drinking it before the heaviest 2 meals of the day. In my case, it's before lunch and dinner. If your stomach is too sensitive to this cocktail then drink it after your meal.

If you have never used ACV in your diet I would suggest starting slow. Jumping to 2 cups of this cocktail a day right away may be too hard on your stomach and intestines as well. I recommend starting with half a portion and gradually increasing to a full cup of this cocktail per meal and going up from there.

I'll be honest with you, if my meal was a hamburger with fries then I increase the ACV intake from 1 tbsp. to 1 ½ tbsp. to help in fat and chemicals break down.

Frequently Asked Questions about Apple Cider Vinegar Drink

Can I drink apple cider vinegar on an empty stomach?

It is best to drink ACV on an empty stomach before consuming food to help cleanse the body, start the digestion process, and balance sugar levels.

Can I have an ACV drink while pregnant?

One thing to note: I have never used this during pregnancy or breastfeeding. I couldn't tell you how it feels then, but I would NOT recommend doing anything different than normal either.

Talk to your doctor or nutritionist if ACV consumption is ok for you before you start implementing apple cider vinegar drink into your diet. Our bodies work differently and what worked for me may not work for you.

Again, use your judgment and listen to your body. Be well and happy, my friends!

Can I have an ACV drink if I have kidney problems?

If you have kidney disease or any other health conditions, it's always best to check with your doctor before having this drink. People with kidney diseases don't do well with acidic foods and drinks and so it's important to check with your doctor first.

Can I make apple cider vinegar shots?

No, you shouldn't take apple cider vinegar shots. It's important to dilute ACV since it is very acidic and can damage your teeth and esophagus. So make sure to follow my apple cider vinegar drink recipe and dilute it properly. 

What else can I add to my apple cider vinegar drink?

You can also add some natural fruit juice to your apple cider vinegar to help with the flavor, or even some maple syrup instead of the honey. Try to use natural ingredients to get all the health benefits of apple cider vinegar from this drink.
