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.

I have put this Ginger Spice ACV drink into my weekly routine. The first drink I tried with fresh ginger (because I didn't have ground ginger in my cabinet) and it was really spicy and I tried it with 16 oz of water instead of 8 oz of water. My second drink I bought a bottle of ground ginger and my drink is less spicier but I also used 16 oz because 2 oz of ACV is really strong. I noticed that after my first drink my gut felt really good and (pardon the TMI) I had daily BMs for 3-4 days with no change to my diet. This week I am back on Keto and intermittent fasting so I am curious how this drink will clean my gut. Looking forward to the positive results.
