Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been around for ages, and widely known as a healthy tonic straight from nature. Of the many benefits, here are a just a few of the most well-known and documented that ACV has to offer:

– Helps maintain a healthy alkaline pH balance in your body
– Strengthens your immune system and gut lining
– Improves insulin sensitivity, which helps balance your blood sugar
– Detoxifies the liver
– Energizes the body
– Aids with fat loss

Bragg’s offers one of the best and most affordable options of apple cider vinegar (it even has “the mother”, an enzyme and nutrient-packed pulp that floats at the bottom of the glass, usually strained out by other brands). And as far as the taste goes, ACV is definitely tart. While you can mix it with just plain cold water, some people find this a bit hard to stomach. Fortunately, there are plenty of ingredients you can incorporate with your morning dose of ACV to create a quick and delicious morning beverage, perfect for getting your day going.
