If you haven’t noticed, here at Peas of Mind we LOVE food!
We love to make it, eat it, talk about it and write about it. We are constantly finding new foods
that we are amazed by or finding new uses for some of our favorite foods. That’s why we’re starting a Food of the Month club; where
each month we’ll feature a new, nutrient packed power food!
This month we’re featuring one of our favorite condiments, Apple
Cider Vinegar or ACV as it’s known by it’s super fans (it’s important to note that in order to get the desired effect, you must find apple cider vinegar
that says “raw and unfiltered”).
ACV is a must have condiment in your house because as you will see by
our list below, it’s a power food that can do everything from alleviating
allergies to clearing up acne.
- Improves Digestion
- Balances high cholesterol
- Helps fight the common cold by boosting the body’s immune system
- Relieves sore throats
- Provides an added caffeine-free energy boost
- Cures constipation
- Alleviates allergies (in both humans AND animals)
- Relieves heartburn by alkalizing the body
- Supports weightless by increasing the metabolism
- Helps balance blood sugar
In a perfect world, every morning before your coffee you
would dilute 2 tbsp into a glass of water and chug it down, but we must admit
that it’s potent stuff and can take some time to get used to. To begin, try the above recipe
when you need it most (ie have a sore throat or are suffering from indigestion)
and on days where you’re feeling healthy simply add ACV to:
- Salad dressings
- Salsas
- Sauces
- Smoothies
- Mix with honey and add to fruit salad
- Sprinkle with salt on your Peas of Mind Veggie Fries
- Really, anything that you normally add vinegar to
