Apple Cider vinegar has received heaps of publicity for weight loss recently and this may be an added benefit of drinking it. The main reason it does this is that it gets rid of extra fat in the body.
What is it?
Essentially Apple Cider Vinegar is nothing more than fermented apples. As we already know, apples are incredibly good for us, in a fermented form they are even better!
The benefits:
- Stimulates the metabolism
Apple Cider Vinegar contains a powerful nutrient called acetic acid which stimulates the metabolism.
- Lowers blood sugar levels
The acidity in Apple Cider Vinegar slows the emptying of the stomach which means foods takes longer to reach the small intestines and bloodstream, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
- Has heaps of potassium in it
Helps transfer nutrients and gives toxic waste particles the boot.
- Heaps of beta carotene
These guys fight off free radicals – less for the liver to do!
- Contains pectin
This one is here to get rid of extra fat in the body.
- Full of enzymes and amino acids
Assists in healthy protein in the body
Wow! That is heaps! Specific to Endo:
- Cleanses the digestive tract
- Gets rid of extra fat in the body
- Increases circulation
Now, make sure you get some ORGANIC Apple Cider Vinegar and make sure it has bits in it – that way you know it’s the real thing.
How much?
Take 2 teaspoons per day mixed with water or as a salad dressing.
YOU HAVE TO GET SOME!
It is unreal how much it will help you and SOOO easy to add!

Hi Wend. Thanks for reading my older posts 🙂 ACV is a general digestive aid. I find it gives me immediate relief from heartburn but I can’t really say it does that for bloating. It might aid in your digestion but wouldn’t be a total solution. It is easy to add in though, so wouldn’t hurt as a replacement of your standard vinegar. Just sprinkle it on any salads etc. I would try Slippery Elm powder and Aloe Vera Juice though. Bloating is often directly attributed to sugar consumption and gluten. I don’t have any bloating since cutting out both of those. Sugar makes the body store water and gluten is hard on our digestion. Drink heaps of camomile and ginger teas. They relax and boost the digestive system too.

Hi! I know this is an older post but wanted to know if anybody has had success using ACV w/ their digestive problems? I have scar tissue on my bowels that causes severe bloat. Some foods trigger me so I avoid those. But then there are other foods that are hit & miss. Sometimes they hurt me, other times they don’t. I’ve tried enzymes like papaya & bromelain but they didn’t help.
& if you did use ACV, was it immediate relief by drinking say, a tablespoon in a glass of water?
Thank you for reading!
