Mastermom Speaks: The Miracles of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar

The Miracles of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar

7 Comments

One of the few things that I promised to myself this year is to stay as healthy as possible. Living healthy may sound a lot but I take one step at a time. Most people now are going to organic (may it be on the food, drinks, or supplement), but I just find it hard to just look away on those yummy pattys, fries, chocolates, ice creams, anything sweet, RICE, etc. But there is one product I discovered that made a huge change not just in my lifestyle but to my husband as well.

Introducing Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar.

"The Mother"

Have you heard of this? If yes, I bet you will agree with me that this Apple Cider Vinegar (AVC) has LOTS of benefits not just to our health but to skin care as well. My husband, Jun, really swears by it! It is our miracle bottle. He began drinking this mid last year and the effect on him is beyond unbelievable! He is really prone to having colds and sore throats. Hindi 'yan nawawalan. Siguro mga twice a month siya nagkakasipon. He always complains about it because I think it's physically alarming if you have that condition. Hindi siya normal. And he also hates it because he cannot sing properly (he sings very well kasi). Hindi na daw niya maabot ang mga high notes. It was very timely that a friend of ours introduces the Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar for us to use. It will not just cure the sore throats daw but it is good for detoxing. True enough, in just 2 days on drinking it, Jun's colds dramatically lessened until finally healed! Pati sore throat niya nawala. I swear, I am the primary witness of this. Then when he continues to drink this, never na siya nagkasipon not unless due to extreme weather conditions or stressful and strenuous activities. We take the ACV twice a day. Taking the first one in the morning on an empty stomach and the second before going to bed at night. For starter, just dilute the ACV (1-2 tablespoon) into a warm glass of water (8oz). But since Jun and I have been drinking it for quite sometime, keri na namin ang taste and we are now taking 3-5 tablespoon of ACV. Never drink it straight because it can actually yellow your teeth. Always shake the bottle before drinking it and immediately rinse your mouth well with water after.

Below are just some of the many benefits that Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) offers. Take note that there are a lot of ACV in the market nowadays but the Bragg has the only one that has "The Mother." What is this Mother? It is the strand-like sediment floating at the bottom of the bottle (picture above). No, your vinegar hasn’t gone bad—that gunky-looking stuff at the bottom is the most important part! It’s called “the mother,” and it contains raw enzymes and gut-friendly bacteria that promote healing.

1. Apple cider vinegar can detoxify your home.

It's made from apple juice and is fermented to hard apple cider. It's then fermented a second time to become apple cider vinegar. By using ACV in lieu of other products, we instantly decrease the consumption of unnatural chemicals in our homes and daily lives.

2. It can make your hair shine.

Apple cider vinegar can be used as a rinse for your hair after shampooing, and will boost your hair's body and shine. I recommend recycling an old shampoo bottle, then filling it with 1/2 a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a cup of cold water. Pour the solution through your hair after shampooing several times a week for dramatic results.

3. Natural apple cider vinegar regulates the pH of your skin.

Dilute ACV with two parts water, and spread the concoction over your face with a cotton ball to replace your current toner. You can do this at night after washing, and in the morning before you apply your moisturizer. A dab of apple cider vinegar can also be left on the skin overnight to fade age spots or acne scars.

It's also a recommended agent for warts. For warts, soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar, then fasten the cotton ball over the wart with a Band-Aid overnight. The skin may swell some as it reacts with the solution. However, the wart will fall off. Once it falls off, the treatment should be continued for a few more days, to make sure the wart doesn't return.

4. It can remove stains from teeth.

Rub teeth directly with apple cider vinegar, and rinse with water.

5. It can soothe sunburnt skin.

Add a cup of apple cider vinegar to your bath, and soak for 10 minutes to eliminate discomfort from sunburn.

6. Apple cider vinegar can be used as a natural aftershave.

Fill a bottle with equal parts apple cider vinegar and water, and shake before applying to the face.

7. It's an all-natural massage treatment.

Rubbing apple cider vinegar on your hands and feet will give massage-like benefits and relief to tired hands and feet.

8. Apple cider vinegar can aid in weight loss.

For daily weight management, add 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to 16 ounces of water. This concoction can be sipped throughout the day. Data shows some limited, yet significant, weight loss benefits from sustained daily intake of acetic acid (which is a main ingredient in apple cider vinegar).

In a 2009 study published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, it was found that subjects that consumed acetic acid for 12 weeks experienced significant declines in body weight, abdominal fat, waist circumference and triglycerides. Triglycerides contribute to the bad cholesterol that we want to avoid.

9. Apple cider vinegar will balance your entire inner body system.

The body constantly strives to achieve a state of equilibrium. Apple cider vinegar helps the body maintain a healthy alkaline pH level. Research shows that higher acid levels (lower pH level) leads to a lack of energy and higher incidences of infection. Hence, my desire to sip some a few times a day for a natural boost of energy.

10. It can help you detox.

As part of balancing the body's pH, apple cider vinegar creates an overall detoxification of the body. Research shows that it can help stimulate cardiovascular circulation and help detoxify the liver.

11. ACV is great for your lymphatic system.

This miracle vinegar helps to break up mucous throughout the body and cleanse the lymph nodes. Believe it or not, research suggests that apple cider vinegar can help with allergies because of its ability to reduce mucous and sinus congestion. When reducing the effects of allergies, it can also help stave off sinus infections and their related symptoms, such as sore throats and headaches.

12. It can help your body get rid of candida.

This vinegar is rich in natural enzymes that can help rid your body of candida—yeasts that are attributed to thrush in humans. Candida also is blamed for creating symptoms of fatigue, poor memory, sugar cravings, and yeast infections.

13. ACV can help you reduce heartburn.

Though it might seem like an oxymoron to treat stomach acid with an acid-containing vinegar, there is research suggesting that apple cider vinegar works by correcting low acid, hence reducing heartburn. Natural remedy experts say you should begin to feel relief very shortly after taking a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar followed by a glass of water. Note that apple cider vinegar will not give relief if you have an ulcer.

14. The use of apple cider vinegar is effective in repelling fleas on your pets.

One part vinegar and one part water can be sprayed on your pets fur and rubbed in generously to the skin. Saturate the entire coat, and continue every day for a few days to a week. Any flea infestation will surely be gone.

15. It's an all-natural room freshener.

Apple cider vinegar will clean your toilets and leave your bathroom smelling like apples! Just pour apple cider vinegar into the toilet, and allow it to sit overnight. It can also be used in dishwashers as a substitute for dish detergent. Mix 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar with 1 cup water, and you can use this solution to clean microwaves, kitchen surfaces, windows, glasses and mirrors, too.

This really work wonders! I already recommended this to my friends especially to those who are health conscious and their feedbacks were all positive. The saddest part was that before, we can buy this in selected supermarket. As in kahit saan meron, But unfortunately, for almost 3 months now, it is still out of stock. I heard that because of port congestion or the limited supplies of apples.

Hindi ako mapakali kaya naghanap ako ng supplier. Since now that I considered BRAGG ACV as essential part to my healthy living, I searched and managed to find someone who is a direct supplier of the product. So, friends, if ever you want to purchase one, just let me know. The price is P500 per 32oz bottle and 350 per 16oz bottle. The price is relatively high compared to the malls before maybe because there are limited stocks na lang talaga =(.

Takot ako maubusan that's why a ordered a box! hehe

This is a great gift to yourself. Try this and I'm sure you will thank me after you experience the amazing results.
