Health Benefits of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Riddle me this, what is cloudy, murky, and floating in your organic apple cider vinegar? It’s the MOTHER of ACV, and believe it or not, it carries many health benefits. Who would have thought that drinking fermented apple juice, organic apple cider vinegar would have so many proven health benefits? 

The difference between organic apple cider vinegar with the mother and clear apple cider vinegar is the presence of the bacteria culture the mother. At first, glance, if you didn’t know this, you might think your apple cider vinegar is spoiled. It is, but it isn’t. It is fermented apple juice, and organic apple cider has many benefits over its refined filtered version. Knowing this now, I don’t understand why they even bother to process it and filter the mother from the organic apple cider vinegar.

Truthfully, the first time my husband, Sturgy, told me to drink it, I thought he lost his mind, and just the thought had me squeamish.

Before we got married, he kept his organic apple cider vinegar bottle in the medicine cabinet. He would drink “shots” of it in the morning, and any time he felt an ailment coming on. I, on the other hand, kept filtered apple cider vinegar in the kitchen where it belonged for my secret salad dressing. 

Fast forward a few years later, and the two of us decided to have our metabolism checked. My metabolism came in at an age of a 70-year-old. What the flutternutter?

I was 53 at the time. Are you kidding me? I don’t believe you, were the words to the doctor.

We had a long discussion about the importance of body water percentage and metabolic age and what that meant. So began the journey we are on now and the change in our relationship with food.

While I would absolutely love to tell you that Sturgy was right, organic apple cider vinegar is a cure-all for your ailments. He was right, but our doctor also told us about the many other health benefits of organic apple cider vinegar with the mother and suggested we drink it every morning. 

Listen, I don’t know about you, but my morning routine at the time consisted of a nice, hot cup of coffee with Stevia and powdered cream.

The doctor did convince me to try an organic apple cider vinegar drink. He gave me a recipe for a homemade electrolyte type drink that would help kickstart my metabolism.

Doing this along with eliminating the powdered cream and sweetener from my coffee, dropped my metabolic age to 53 within 4 months. During this time, I started to really enjoy this drink and looked forward to it throughout the day.

We both drink them 2 times a day now. Aside from my metabolic age being aligned with my real age, I lost 15 pounds, feel so much better, and all my health markers are in check.

We now keep the organic apple cider vinegar bottle in the cabinet with the coffee and tea and have an extra bottle on hand.
