You’ve probably already heard by now about the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) for weightloss and supporting overall metabolic health, including boosting your immune system which is now being shown to start and center around the gut. 

The Cleveland Clinic writes about several reasons why fermented foods and drinks, as well as ACV helps with our health by specifically aiding your gut microbiome. Here’s three reasons they included in their article. Click here to read the full article.
​
• Your body needs help making certain vitamins
Good bacteria are to thank for synthesizing, or producing, many vitamins your body needs. That list includes vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 and K.

• A healthy body needs balance
Tiny bacteria in your intestine have full-body effects. Research shows a less diverse gut microbiota is associated with many chronic disease, such as obesity, asthma and chronic inflammatory conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease. Research is still ongoing into why this is the case.

• They can help restore your gut health after taking antibiotics
Ever had diarrhea or other digestive problems after taking antibiotics? That’s because they wipe out both good and bad bacteria. Eating fermented foods may help restore your gut bacteria to normal. Be sure to eat a diet high in fiber and plant-based foods, which gut microbes flourish on.

Some dinners look fancy. Some dinners sound fancy. Some are both—like this one, but do you want to know a secret? This meal is done and on the dinner table in just about 30 minutes!! 

If you are intimidated by cooking fish, don't be. Cod is a fairly forgiving fish that cooks really easily. It has a mild flavor and is quite versatile. I use it for my air-fried fish and "chips". My eight year old actually requests this meal every few weeks and since it changes the pace of our meals and they get a healthy serving of nutrients from fish, plus its Keto-friendly, then it's all systems go for this recipe. And since it's only 5 main ingredients, it's busy keto mama approved.

​I like serving this with a side of cauliflower rice or roasted veggies like asparagus or broccolini.
