Improve Your Health With “Apple Cider Vinegar”

Many people have been using Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) as a traditional home remedy for a number of years. It is the most popular type of vinegar in the natural health community. ACV is known to cure a variety of illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, acne, and heartburn etc. It is also taken as a weight loss aid.

You all must have heard a lot about Apple Cider Vinegar but ACV ‘with mother’, what does that mean? Scroll down and check what is it and why is it important.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WITH ‘MOTHER’

Healthkart’s Apple cider vinegar with the ‘mother’ is simply unrefined, unpasteurized and unfiltered ACV, made from apple juice or apple cider. It is usually the best choice as it has got strains of ‘mother’, a cobweb-like structure floating at the bottom of the bottle. ACV has got the cloudy appearance because of it. It is claimed that this mother of vinegar is where all the rich proteins, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and gut-friendly bacteria associated with apple cider vinegar are found.

A good bottle of ACV must contain the “mother culture” which I found in ‘Healthkart Apple Cider Vinegar’. Before sharing my experience on it, I would like to make it clear what exactly is the difference between filtered and unfiltered ACV.

Why Apple Cider Vinegar With “Mother” Is Better Than Filtered ACV?

Filtered ACV is made with apple juice and water. The filtering process removes the vinegar “mother” and any sediment, leaving a transparent, amber-colored vinegar. The pasteurization process of vinegar further refines and clarifies it. So basically, filtered ACV has no “mother” and lacks the health benefits that it provides.

Apple Cider Vinegar with “Mother” is a proof of undistilled vinegar. This unfiltered ACV is also made from apple juice, but the mother hasn’t been filtered out.

So the difference between the two is the “mother,” which is simply a somewhat murky collection of cellulose and beneficial bacteria.

With so many products in the market and each one claiming to be the best, it really gets so hard to choose the right one. But on my friend’s suggestion, I started using Healthkart Apple Cider Vinegar with ‘Mother’ And I am so much satisfied with its results that I decided to share my experience on it with you all.

My Experience with HEALTHKART Apple Cider Vinegar With ‘Mother’

This ACV is naturally fermented from the delicious Himalayan apples and contains strands of ‘Mother’, a proof of unfiltered vinegar.

Actually, I was facing the problem of poor digestion and tried almost everything to calm the acidity in my stomach. But nothing seemed to help. Although I already heard about the several benefits of apple cider vinegar but was reluctant to try it. Then one day I gave it a shot and I am glad I did. Since the time I started using Healthkart Apple Cider Vinegar, it has cured my all digestive issues. Not only this, I have noticed a visible change in my skin and hair too. You know, healthy skin begins within. If your digestive system is working better, it reflects on your skin and hair. The best part is that I am feeling much lighter now, maybe it has worked on my metabolism too.

Now every morning I look forward to my ACV ritual. My father is diabetic and I recommended this to him as well. He has been using it for over a week now and noticed an increase of energy in his body. His blood sugar level has drastically come down. All I can say is that Healthkart Apple Cider Vinegar has become a bit of a staple in our home now.

You must be aware of the multiple health benefits of ACV but do you know that it can work wonders for your skin and hair too. Let me explain everything to you.

BENEFITS OF Apple Cider Vinegar!

Enhances WEIGHT LOSS

If you’re looking for a magic elixir that will help you lose weight, then Apple Cider Vinegar is the one for you. Acetic acid, found in it is one active ingredient that is thought to aid weight loss. Several research studies have found that acetic acid promotes weight loss in several ways:

• Burns Fat and Reduces Fat Storage- Consuming ACV may increase the production of an enzyme that speeds up your metabolism and increases the rate at which body fat is burnt. It helps you lose abdominal fat (belly fat), and reduces waist circumference.
• Works as a Natural Appetite Suppressant- By suppressing centers in the brain that control appetite, it makes you eat less by producing a feeling of satiety sooner.

Not only is this, but pectin present in apples also known to make you feel fuller and more satisfied. Apple cider vinegar contains the same amount of pectin as apples, thus it suppresses your appetite in a similar way.

Well, I would say don’t rely completely on it if you are struggling hard to lose weight. Yes, with apple cider vinegar by your side, you can only hope to make the battle easier. But never compromise on a healthy lifestyle.

Regulates DIABETES

There is no denying the fact that medications, healthy eating habits, and exercise are the standard treatments for controlling blood sugar levels. But studies have shown that apple cider vinegar is considered safe and worth trying for controlling diabetes. HealthKart Apple Cider Vinegar helps to increase the body’s insulin sensitivity and promotes insulin production. Although the results of ACV vary from individual to individual you must try it.

Lowers CHOLESTEROL & Controls BLOOD PRESSURE

High levels of bad cholesterol in blood narrow the arteries which result in high blood pressure.

Apple Cider Vinegar helps in breaking down fat and phlegm deposits in the body. This improves blood circulation and lowers pressure against the arterial walls. It also reduces LDL (bad cholesterol) and increases HDL (good cholesterol).

Improves DIGESTION

In order to enjoy a healthy body, proper digestion is the key. Apple Cider Vinegar is prebiotic which aids in proper digestion and the right absorption of nutrients. Wondering how?

Well, ‘Prebiotics’ are a source of food for beneficial bacteria, thus helping maintain the population of these bacteria in your gut and keeping your digestive system healthy. The sweet and sour vinegar also helps in regulating pH of the stomach and is very helpful to reduce ACIDITY or HEARTBURN. Not only this, it combats CONSTIPATION as well.

DETOXIFIES Body

Apple Cider Vinegar is a liver and lymphatic tonic which can help detox your body. It helps the body to remove toxic waste more efficiently before it has had time to accumulate and cause damage.

Reduces DANDRUFF & HAIR FALL

Tried everything but nothing seems to work? Don’t worry! ACV can help manage your hair problems. Dandruff and hair loss are primarily caused by fungus and bacteria. ACV has acetic acid which is, in fact, a great anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial help. Acidity in the vinegar makes it harder for the fungus that contributes to dandruff to grow on your scalp. It also increases blood circulation to the hair follicles which in turn promotes hair growth. ACV makes the hair cuticles smoother resulting in soft, frizz-free hair. Smoother cuticles also reflect light better, making your hair shinier.

Prevents ACNE & PIMPLES

Apple Cider Vinegar is a nature’s gift to anyone suffering from acne. It kills bacteria, removes excess dirt, oil, and makeup and dissolves dead skin cells as it is antiseptic and antibacterial in nature.

Apart from all these, some other prominent health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar are:

• Boosts Immunity
• Relieves Joint Pain
• Boosts Energy
• Soothes a Sore Throat.

HOW TO USE ACV FOR MULTIPLE HEALTH BENEFITS?

For DIGESTION

Earlier I used to start my day with a simple glass of lukewarm water with a dash of lemon in it. But now I dilute 10 ml of HEALTHKART Apple Cider Vinegar in my glass of water and have it twice daily. I have it on an empty stomach in the morning and in the mid-afternoon.

Well, this dosage is a sure shot way to cure all problems. But you can also use ACV with your meals as a salad dressing. The choice is yours! Make sure to shake well before use.

For HAIR PROBLEMS

After shampoo, instead of using conditioner, I combine 2 tablespoons (30ml) HealthKart Apple Cider Vinegar with one cup lukewarm water. And rinse my hair with this diluted ACV solution. Make sure to avoid your eyes.

I leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes and massage my scalp occasionally in between. Then rinse my hair with water. I repeat this twice a week. And don’t worry; the smell of the vinegar evaporates as your hair dries.

For SKIN PROBLEMS

Although consuming a 10 ml of ACV mixed with a glass of water every day is a solution to help clear the skin and body from the inside out but you may also apply it directly.

I mix one part Healthkart ACV with three parts water. If you have sensitive skin, you may add a little more water. You can also add rosewater instead of water. I apply this mixture twice a day like a toner using a cotton ball. This works well on acne too. You can also make a face pack by adding a tablespoon of ACV in Multani mitti and leave it till it dries.

For DIABETES

If you want to control any type of diabetes better, consume vinegar before meals and at bedtime.

My father takes two tablespoons of Healthkart ACV in a glass of water at bedtime which has reduced his fasting blood sugar levels measured.

To help regulate blood sugar after a meal, he takes the same quantity in a glass of water after a meal.

TASTE OF Apple Cider Vinegar

This ‘amber’ colored liquid has got ‘pungent’ smell and is ‘sour’ in taste. But it has also got a ‘mild sweetness’ from the apple juice. I have heard, generally, people don’t like the taste of ACV. But then taste is something which can’t really be defined. What tastes good to you might taste bad to me. It is totally based on individual experiences. Personally, I like its taste. Maybe I am used to it now. And also when it comes to its multiple health benefits, it is worth sticking to it.

If you don’t like its taste, you can buy Healthkart Apple Cider Vinegar with ‘Honey’ but avoid it if you are a diabetic.

*Just keep in mind that you should never drink apple cider vinegar straight without diluting with water as it can burn your oesophagus.

So, what are you waiting for? Incorporate Healthkart Apple Cider Vinegar with “Mother” in your daily routine and reap the benefits!​
