Every person knows that ACV can be used in many recipes and remedies. But do you know that you can consume it on its own? If you don’t like the strong taste and smell of it, you can always dilute it in water or tea.
DRINK APPLE CIDER VINEGAR BEFORE BED FOR THESE 10 INCREDIBLE REASONS!
1. WEIGHT LOSS
There are many studies that link obesity with sleep deprivation. Apple cider vinegar is found to prevent the accumulation of fat because it can prevent the body to turn all the starches into calories.
ACV also acts as an appetite suppressant. The ingredient pectin which is found in ACV tricks your brain into thinking that your stomach is full. Therefore, if you really get hungry before going to sleep, drink 1 tsp. of ACV diluted in a glass of water and you won’t have the cravings!
2. STOP HICCUPS
The sour taste of apple cider vinegar will stimulate the throat nerves by causing them to forget that they need to hiccup. Take 1 tsp. of ACV and you will immediately stop the hiccup.
3. SORE THROAT
The acidic environment and the anti-bacterial properties the ACV has prevents the bacteria in the throat to survive. So, one hour before you go to sleep, take 1 tsp. of ACV. After 30 minutes take another one. The last one should be right before you fall asleep.
4. STUFFY NOSE RELIEF
If you happen to suffer from allergies, ACV can be of great help because it contains vitamins A, B1, B2, E, potassium and magnesium. All these vitamins and minerals help to thin the mucus and clean the sinuses. You should blend 1 tsp. of ACV in a glass of water and consume the drink before you go to sleep.
5. ACID REFLUX TREATMENT
When the body has a small amount of stomach acid, it can go around the stomach and eventually get to the esophagus. Consuming ACV will restore the acidity in the stomach. Dilute 1 tsp. of ACV in a cup of water and drink it before you fall asleep.
6. NIGHTTIME LEG CRAMPS
If you experience frequent leg cramps during the night, you probably lack potassium.
Apple cider vinegar contains potassium and will restore the balance in the body. Blend 2 tbsp. of ACV in a cup of warm water and consume the blend before you go to sleep so that you can prevent those leg cramps.
7. BLOOD SUGAR
Having a high blood sugar is one of the biggest causes of insomnia because it disturbs the body when it needs to go into the fat metabolism stage. Apple cider vinegar can lower blood sugar levels because it will increase insulin sensitivity.
You should consume 2 tsp. of ACV before you fall asleep. However, if you are taking other medications, you should ask your doctor first whether this is a good idea.
8. BAD BREATH
Do you wake up with a bad odor coming from your mouth? This occurs because your mouth is full of bacteria, and ACV is anti-bacterial. Therefore, you should take 1 tbsp. of ACV before you go to bed, and kill the bacteria causing the bad smell.
9. STOMACH PAIN
Having pain in the stomach makes it impossible to fall asleep. Luckily, ACV comes to the rescue one more time!
Blend 1 tsp. of ACV in a glass of warm water and consume the blend before going to bed. You will feel relief if you have cramps or any other discomfort.
10. INDIGESTION
Indigestion and insomnia go hand in hand. However, apple cider vinegar can fight bloating and nausea.
Blend 1 tsp. of ACV and 1 tsp. of honey in a cup of warm water and drink the blend half an hour before you go to sleep.
