How to finally enjoy your daily shot of Apple Cider Vinegar

Chances are you’ve heard of Apple Cider Vinegar and the various health benefits that come from adding it into your diet. You’re probably most familiar with its unique smell and taste, which is all thanks to acetic acid. This acid is formed during the fermentation process (the breakdown of chemicals in a substance) that takes place in order to create Apple Cider Vinegar.

First, crushed apples are exposed to yeast, which ferments the sugars and turns them into alcohol. Bacteria is then added to further ferment the alcohol, which turns it into acetic acid. This is the main active compound in ACV and what researchers believe to be responsible for allll of the health benefits it has to offer, such as:

 

  • Kills pathogens (bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms that can cause disease)

  • When used in food, it can act as a preservative that also helps ward off E. Coli

  • Promotes gut health

  • Has shown great promise in research studies with improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar responses after meals

  • Antimicrobial and contains antioxidants

  • Helps to increase feelings of fullness, which can in turn help with weight loss

  • Improves heart health by lowering cholesterol

  • When diluted and applied to the skin, it can help with dryness and eczema (make sure to do a patch test if trying this for the first time!)

  • Can help kill off bacteria that can cause acne when used as a (diluted) toner

 

Our favorite way to incorporate this into our daily routines? Meet Potli’s hemp-derived CBD Apple Cider Vinegar. Not only do you get the benefits from both ACV and CBD, but the flavor is (somehow) totally bearable! Hooray for drinkable ACV!

Benefits of ACV + CBD:

  • Both can help lower insulin resistance

  • CBD can help manage food cravings, helping with weight loss

  • CBD can manage symptoms of migraines

  • Both can help with PCOS — mood swings, cramps, hormone imbalance, stress, etc.

  • CBD helps heal inflammation in the body (chronic inflammation has been shown to be the cause of several diseases)

Our head honcho, Caci, has added this into her routine as well and has been loving it!

Caci’s mixture:

  1. Heat up a mug full of water (about 1 cup)

  2. Mix in one-two tsps of Potli Hemp Infused Apple Cider Vinegar

  3. Add one tbsp of Raw Manuka Honey (or your favorite brand)

  4. Sip and reap the benefits!

Warmly,
