Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar and Turmeric

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar is kind of amazing. It has a long list of proven benefits including:

• boosts immune system
• acts as a cold remedy (it soothes a sore throat and clears a stuffy nose!)
• boosts energy
• prevents indigestion
• regulates blood sugar level
• lowers cholesterol
• reduces risk of heart disease
• may prevent cancer
• benefits the skin (it acts as a dandruff treatment and a skin toner to clear acne!)
• aids in weight loss!

Turmeric

Turmeric is also incredibly amazing. Here's just some of the reasons why:

• a strong antioxidant (it can improve skin conditions and delay aging!)
• has strong anti-inflammatory effects (including helping with arthritis)
• acts as an anti-depressant
• prevents and treats cancer
• improves brain function
• lowers the risk of brain disease (including Alzheimer's disease!)
• lowers the risk of heart disease

Like I said, it's magic. Just imagine the combination of these two in your body. Fireworks. But I am not going to lie, this stuff does not taste very pleasant. It's the kind of drink that I plug my nose and gulp it down. I guess you just can't have it all!
