9 Ways Apple Cider Vinegar Will Improve Your Life

9 Ways Apple Cider Vinegar Will Improve Your Life

Apple cider vinegar has recently made an appearance in my house, though not just in the kitchen! This wonder liquid is magic everywhere. In addition to a daily shot of it—give it a few days to get used to the taste—it can be used to clean, disinfect, kill weeds, and even make your hair shinier.

Be sure to look for raw, unfiltered unpasteurized apple cider vinegar to get the biggest benefits. My current go-to is Bragg organic.

1. Health Benefits

Though its taste can be a bit bitter, drinking apple cider vinegar every day has health benefits, as it’s rich in malic and acetic acids and potassium. Mix two tablespoons into 16 ounces of water and drink up to:

• Help with weight loss (thanks to its acetic acid)
• Maintain your body’s alkaline pH level
• Help detox your liver
• Help reduce heartburn
• Help your body combat candida
• Help clear up blemishes and skin conditions
• Help improve irregularity

2. Face Toner

Dilute one part apple cider vinegar to two parts water and use as a natural toner for your face to help tighten skin and reduce breakouts.

3. Hair Shiner

Winter in Minnesota did a number on my hair… it’s dry and dull. Apple cider vinegar to

the rescue! After shampooing, rinse a few tablespoons through your hair and say goodbye to build-up and hello to shinier locks.

4. Sunburn Soother

Summer is around the corner, and though you should always wear sunscreen, ACV can be used to sooth a sunburn. Mix one cup into a bath and soak. Your parched skin will thank you.

5. Disinfectant

Apple cider vinegar is a natural disinfectant and works great in the kitchen and bathroom. Dilute a half-cup of ACV with one cup water and get cleaning!

6. Air Freshener

Apple cider vinegar is a natural deodorizer, so dilute it with water, add to a spray bottle, and spritz it around a room for a fresh clean scent.

7. Flea Repellent

Protect your pup from fleas by spraying a mix of one-quarter apple cider vinegar to three-quarters water. Added bonus: A shiny coat!

8. Garden Weed Killer

Summer also means more time in the garden, fresh veggies, and unfortunately, some weeds. Mix one part apple cider vinegar to eight parts water, spray on weeds, and watch ‘em disappear. Your veggies will thank you.

9. Produce Wash

Wash those fresh garden veggies—and all store-bought ones, too—with an apple cider vinegar solution. Mix four tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with a gallon of water and rinse to keep dirt and pesticides away.
