The health benefits of lemon juice and apple cider vinegar and a simple recipe to use at
home
Apple Cider Vinegar was used by the ancient Egyptians as a natural medicine and antiseptic
at least 8000 years ago. It was recommended and prescribed in Ancient Greece as a "Healing
Elixir"
Lemon Juice was also used by ancient civilisations for purifying the body and to break a fast
in the Middle East. It still used today to boost health and vitality.
When these ingredients are mixed together,
they form a unique remedy which has some fantastic health benefits
These work wonders in cleansing fat from the
liver, especially for those who are overweight.
Lemon Juice contains a powerful compound called Citric Acid. This has been scientifically
shown to be a powerful antioxidant helping the body to fight diseases and infections.
Apple Cider Vinegar works hand in hand with
the lemon juice by introducing its powerful acetic acid and enzymes.
These rapidly boosts your body's digestion,
allowing you to break down foods and absorb more nutrients from every meal.
Recipe:
You Will Need:
250ml Water
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Raw Lemon Juice
Method:
Mix the ingredients together in a glass and
stir well.
Drink this before a meal or on an empty stomach every morning before breakfast.
It is very important that you use raw unfiltered
apple cider vinegar, as this contains the enzymes and acetic acid that the body needs.
You should also use freshly squeezed raw lemon
juice and avoid bottled varieties, as only raw, unpasteurized juice contains the important
Vitamin C.
If you do not like the taste of this drink, simply add a little stevia or erythritol for
sweetness.

This happens when the stomach struggles to

The apple cider vinegar and lemon juice drink
strengthens stomach acid, bringing the Ph. down to its natural levels.
The stomach then breaks down foods properly,
relieving heartburn, acid reflux and indigestion pain.

become absorbed properly, and your overall health increases.

helps the stomach to break down oxalates in order to prevent unwanted stones in the body.
18. Caution

too powerful to drink. Drinking the mixture 'neat' could cause minor acid burns to the
throat, so always add water.

a doctor before use.
