own benefits and that's what we'll uncover in this video - the benefits they have to
offer, the benefits of having them together. What is the best way to mix these together

Now we all know about apple cider vinegar and how beneficial that is. Now apple cider
vinegar, one of the major benefits it has for many people who follow this channel is
it helps decrease your blood sugar. And the one of the reasons it’s going to offer such
a huge impact on your life in general if you have blood sugar issues is because the blood
sugar issues just obviously stem off into so many other problems in your life, whether
it's your liver, your cholesterol, heart health, everything. And so, it helps bring down the
blood sugar. It's got the acetic acid content in it, which is very, very good at doing so.
Now the other thing is going to be beneficial is helping with weight loss. And you hear
all the time apple cider vinegar and honey together as this powerful weight loss combo.
Well, when it comes to weight loss, apple cider vinegar is really the star of the show
here because it is going to help bring down the blood sugar. It's going to help bring
down insulin levels and in turn you really start to lose some weight after that. And
you can see so many testimonials of people who've been in this position.
It also has been shown to help kill bacteria and pathogens, which is great because I mean,
let's face it, a lot of people within their gut, they end up with having a bacterial overgrowth
issue, different pathogens that you don't want in there. And so, the apple cider vinegar
supports that process of getting that out. And one of the huge benefits is it balances
the pH within the gut. Now, when you look at apple cider vinegar and how it can benefit
so many people as far as our digestion goes, a lot of people have a very alkaline stomach.
They have a hard time digesting meats and proteins. They have a hard time digesting
different fibers, salad greens, all that kind of stuff. And the reason for is because their
pH is way too alkaline. So, you take a little bit of apple cider vinegar with your meal
and as a result it helps break down your food a little bit as you increase the acidity within
your stomach.
Next, it’s going to help decrease the risk of heart disease. A lot of the studies out
there basically show that apple cider vinegar is really great at helping balance your cholesterol.
So that's a huge plus here. Loaded with probiotics and enzymes. When you get apple cider vinegar,
you always want to get that one that has the cloudy mother in it because that mother has
the probiotics in it and it also has the enzymes which are going to be great for your overall
digestion, gut health, and which in turn is going to help support your immune system health
because 80% of your immune system is located in your gut and therefore apple cider vinegar
benefits that.
It also supports your skin health. And a couple of that you can support your skin health with
apple cider vinegar is you can use it topically for acne. Like I said, it's an antibacterial,
it's an antifungal. And the other thing about apple cider vinegar when it comes to your
skin health is that when it works to improve your gut health, much of the poor skin health
that people have today is a manifestation of poor gut health. Improve your gut health,
you improve your skin health. So that's apple cider vinegar and then you combine it with
honey.
Honey is a super food that’s been around for thousands of years and people have used
this because it has a ton of good phytonutrients in it. These phytonutrients are loaded with
antioxidants and in turn they help boost your immunity. Boosting your immune system is something
a lot of people have on their mind right now as we deal with seasonal allergies and the
flu and all this different things that are really beaten people up. Now as far as boosting
your immunity, if you want to learn more ways to do so, what I'll do is I'll put a video
right here where I talk about all the top nutrients you can take to help boost your
immune system. A lot of people are focused on that right now. So, honey is going to help
boost immunity. It also has been shown to help improve cholesterol scores according
to the research. It acts as an antifungal and antibacterial. It also is going to support
digestion, which is great. It's actually been shown to help kill off the H-pylori, which
is associated with having a lot of stomach ulcers. So that's a great thing if you have
these issues and it’s basically shown that a lot of people do. And so, that's going to
help support your digestion.
And then seasonal allergies is another great benefit that honey has to offer. Now when
it comes to honey, you always want to get raw honey and you want to get local honey
because that's where you're going to get the benefits. Now what you typically do if you
want the help with seasonal allergies is you start taking the honey a couple months prior
to allergy season coming. Therefore, your body can start to adapt to the different pollen
in your area. That's why you want it local.
Now as you look to honey and apple cider vinegar to offer you many benefits, combining them
together has shown to help with sore throats, it’s been shown to help with like the seasonal
flu, that kind of thing. And in fact, it's even been shown to help with coughs. So, people
who have coughs, it's actually been shown to help better than some cough medication
out there. So that is a huge benefit it has to offer as well.
Now how do you mix it up together? So, according to a lot of the traditional medicine out there,
what they typically do is they go and put about one part apple cider vinegar to five
parts warm water and then two to three tablespoons - that's tablespoons - of honey. Now for me,
that's quite a bit of honey. I'm not a huge fan of putting that much honey in there. There's
a lot of sugar in there. I mean, yes, it is a super food, lots of benefits. But of course,
that's a lot of honey to put in one glass. And so, I like to typically go between one
and two tablespoons of honey. So, take that into consideration when you're mixing up your
elixir. Now like I said, this is one part apple cider vinegar at five port, five parts
warm water in one to two tablespoons of honey. Now, some people ask, well, isn't this actually
counterintuitive to take because it's got the sugar in it and if you're trying to stay
healthy, you don't want all that sugar. Look, it all depends on your situation. If you're
someone who's a pre-diabetic or someone who is suffering from Type II diabetes, this may
be something that you want to stay away from right now, but in general, they both have
incredible benefits to offer. When you combine them together, you can see the powerful benefit
that you're getting for your gut health, your skin health, your immune health, your blood
sugar, all of that. And so, you put all that together, you get these antioxidants, there's
a lot to benefit from it. So, I think, yes, if you have a blood sugar instability problem,
you may want to stay away from it at this time. But in general, someone who's completely
healthy and you're looking to get these benefits, it's a great thing to utilize now.
Now, here's the thing that's important to understand too, is that you don't want to
consume this while in a fasted state. I actually had someone I was working with and recently
they were telling me how they're intermittent fasting and they're so proud of it. And then
as soon as they wake up in the morning, they were making a mixture like this, not by my
advice, but they were doing it themselves because they heard how beneficial it was.
Well, this will break a fast and so obviously we don't want to be consuming this well in
a fasted state because you're fast is broken at that point. And they were also complaining
about having severe cravings. Well I'm like, no wonder you're having severe cravings. You're
waking up in the morning, breaking your fast, and then you're trying to go back into a fasted
state. Your body's telling you, Hey, I'm hungry. So, anyway, we fixed that whole situation.
But the thing is, is that this will obviously break a fast. Some of the best times to have
it is going to be in the afternoon. Let's say you break your fast, you're in your feeding
window, have it then or have it at night. A lot of people like this at night because
it's something warm and it's something very soothing. If you're suffering from a cold
or any other issues that these benefit right here, by all means, utilize this to improve
your health.
