Lifestyle changes can affect your complexion! Pores that are opened by sweating are more prone to becoming clogged and inflamed. Don’t let your skin change the way you work out, simply modify the way you take care of your skin. Here are six helpful ways to keep healthy skin at the gym.</span></span></div><b id="docs-internal-guid-971467e0-4242-0291-2908-adb0e8cce90c" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wash Face</span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is important to wash your face prior to exercise. Washing your face will rid your skin of bacteria and dead cells that can clog pores while working out. When you exercise and sweat, your pores enlarge and are much more easily clogged if the surface of your skin is not fresh. Use a very mild cleanser before you work out or use facial cleansing wipes to keep your healthy skin. </span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Clean Machines</span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It might sound like a nuisance, but be sure to clean the machines before you exercise. You cannot trust that the person who used the machine before you wiped it clean. Others’ sweat that was left on the machine can wreak havoc on your healthy skin. If you accidentally touch your face after touching their sweat, you could be dealing with a breakout. Use the gym provided machine cleansers before and after each use, to ensure that you are using a clean machine. </span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Don’t Touch Your Skin</span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As stated above, touching your skin while it is sweating can be problematic. Bring a clean and soft sweat towel with you to the gym to avoid ski-to-skin contact and the clogging of your pores.</span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hydrate</span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you are working out and not drinking enough water throughout the day, dehydration can lead to dry skin, followed by an excess creation of sebum. This can lead to clogged pores and acne on your once healthy skin. Make sure you are staying hydrated throughout your workout and throughout the day.</span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wash Your Face Again</span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is a point where over drying can occur from washing your face too often, and you want to avoid this. However, you do not want bacteria and toxins that you sweat out during a workout to pool on top of your pores! Wash it off immediately after exercising. Use a gentle cleanser, rinse with tepid water, and pat dry. If possible, let your skin air dry entirely. Air drying helps prevent irritation that can be caused by touching sensitive skin. Be sure to apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer once your skin has dried. Staying moisturized will help you have healthy skin!</span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Body Acne</span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you experience breakouts on your shoulders or back, the best approach to healthy skin is showering immediately after a workout. Use your normal body wash and clean your skin at the gym. It will take a little extra time, but it will be worth it to prevent skin irritation. </span></span></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> <span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are beginning your journey to a healthy lifestyle, </span><a href="http://www.afitnurse.com/p/schedule-appointment-to-chat-with-me.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">contact me!</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I would love to help you on your health and wellness journey.</span></span>

Your skin is your body’s largest organ and needs special care and attention. Summer skin care can pose a challenge for people who enjoy outdoor activities because you are more exposed to the sun's rays, which are more intense during the summer months.</span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a list of summer skin care tips to help improve the health of your skin!</span></span></div> <b id="docs-internal-guid-83ff8500-9802-aa17-9831-92fcff3a26dc" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1) Hydrate! Hydrate. Hydrate</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Drinking water is an important part of any skin care routine. H20 should be your best friend, your buddy, always by your side. It helps keep your skin softer, hydrated, younger-looking, and helps prevent fine lines and wrinkles in the future. Summer skin care relies on water consumption a lot, because we are sweating more in the summer, which can lead to dehydration!</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2) Exfoliate</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Summer skin care can be improved greatly by routine exfoliation. When you exfoliate your skin, you are getting rid of dead skin cells that are clogging your pores and hiding your fresh, healthy skin. It’s important to not over-exfoliate as it can lead to skin irritation or redness. It is suggested to exfoliate two times per week to allow healthy skin to develop. You can buy exfoliants or make an all-natural one at home for your summer skin care routine.</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3) Moisturize</span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">    </span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After exfoliation, it is vital to apply a moisturizer, preferably with SPF 30 or more. After exfoliating, your skin is fresh and ready to receive all the moisture that you can give it. For summer skin care, moisturize both in the morning and at night to keep your skin glowing and prevent it from drying out in the sun. Frequent moisturizing will also help prevent wrinkles and fine lines as you age. Remember, your lips are very sensitive to the sun! Keep them moisturized with a lip balm.</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4) Wear Sunscreen Everywhere</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunscreen is important. It protects your skin from harmful UV rays. Being tan in the summer seems great, but it is a sign of skin damage.  Especially for summer skin care, SPF should be applied liberally every day. If you can find a moisturizer with SPF that you like, stick with it and apply it often!</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5) Treat Damaged Skin</span></span></div> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It happens. You forgot to wear sunscreen, and you are experiencing an uncomfortable sunburn. It is important to treat these burns. Aloe Vera creams and gels are a great way to cool the irritation and help it heal faster, without the peeling that can sometimes occur. Summer skin care, even if it is damage control, is so important to your overall health. Blistering sunburns more than double your risk of melanoma. Keep your overall health in mind when consider your summer skin care routine this season!</span></span>

Plus, there are additional health benefits such as relief from sinus issues.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">  </span></span></div> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Use an oil-based moisturizer. </b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is one of the greatest remedies for dry skin because oil helps seal the water in your skin to prevent dry, itchy and flaky skin. Look at the ingredients list of your moisturizer and make sure oil is at the beginning of the list. Some people will even use straight coconut oil on their skin for an effective skin conditioner!</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Protect your skin. </b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Remedies for dry skin can be as simple as a protective layer against the elements. Specifically, use sunscreen to protect your skin from burning, and wear layers to protect from harsh winds and/or cold temperatures.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Avoid products with alcohol. </b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Alcohol is very drying because it strips the skin of it’s natural oils, so avoid products that have alcohol in them. This includes body washes, soaps, shampoos and make-up!</span></span></div> </li> </ul> <div> <span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Stay hydrated. </b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drink that water! Some of these remedies for dry skin happen to be awesome for overall health as well. Drinking beverages that dehydrate like caffeine and alcohol can also affect your skin, so be sure to grab the water and sip regularly throughout the day. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Shorter showers. </b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I know, this one is a major bummer. But, prolonged exposure to water, especially when it’s hot, can rinse away the natural oils that offer your skin protection. So, one of the less enjoyable remedies for dry skin is taking shorter showers and spending less time soaking and swimming. But when you do, lather up with an oil-based moisturizer afterwards!</span></span></div> </li> </ul> <div> <span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #666666;">I’m not a fan of anything that prevents me from looking and feeling my best, so having dry skin is naturally the worst ever! I hope these remedies for dry skin prevention will help you feel confident and strong in your skin. :)</span></span></div> <div> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

Health Benfits of Apple cider vinegar

I first learned about the benefits of ACV through <a href="http://www.eatcleandiet.com/" target="_blank" title="Eat Clean Diet">Tosca Reno’s Eat Clean Diet</a>. This book was my bible when first learning to eat clean. I have been getting a lot of questions lately from my clients on why do I drink Apple cider Vinegar daily.<br /> <br /> Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is pretty potent and it does take a little getting used too. Adding a splash of fruit juice, honey or stevia to the ACV plus water to help make it more palatable.  Tosca recommends mixing 2 Tablespoons of raw, unfiltered ACV into a glass of water. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCThzX5R-8ioPrNIVHaL2sp9nkj1tHtIJ7X7hyphenhyphenSElX0BqD8Hfh9Ctv49moDe7PudzoE2f7AZhdeLZWmX1QGyGT1SaUJlxrihaeq_a43NbuLPTJAVtm48OIe-cE50NJQwK0ho9FUaGuJjgL/s1600/applecidervinegar1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCThzX5R-8ioPrNIVHaL2sp9nkj1tHtIJ7X7hyphenhyphenSElX0BqD8Hfh9Ctv49moDe7PudzoE2f7AZhdeLZWmX1QGyGT1SaUJlxrihaeq_a43NbuLPTJAVtm48OIe-cE50NJQwK0ho9FUaGuJjgL/s320/applecidervinegar1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <strong>What are the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar?</strong><br /> <ul> <li>Rich in potassium, a mineral that is often times lacking in adult diets. This mineral is key for growth, building muscles, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity etc. It also helps to prevent brittle teeth, hair loss and runny noses.</li> <li>Rich in acetic acid. This acid is said to slow the digestion of starch which can help to lower the rise in glucose that commonly occurs after meals.</li> <li>Rich in ash which gives ACV its alkaline property. This aids your body in maintaining proper pH levels for a healthy alkaline state. (It is particularly important if you drink a lot of coffee or wine.)</li> <li>It can help regulate blood pressure and reduce bad cholesterol.</li> <li>Rich in malic acid which gives ACV its anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.</li> <li>May help improve bowel irregularity and helps to remove toxins from the body at a faster rate.</li> <li>It can help clear up skin conditions and blemishes.</li> <li>ACV helps with weight loss by breaking down fats so that your body can use them rather than store them.</li> <li>A few lab studies have found that ACV may be able to kill cancer cells or slow their growth.</li> </ul> <strong>My recipe:</strong><br /> I drink 2 Tablespoons of ACV a day, in the morning, and add 6 ounces of water, 2 ounces of cranberry juice and a splash of lime juice. Then suck it down fast with a straw! LOL!!<br /> <br /> If you’re interested in learning more about ACV here are a few links that are worth checking out:<br /> <ul> <li><a href="http://toscareno.blogspot.com/2011/05/raw-apple-cider-and-ab-definition.html" target="_blank" title="Tosca Reno"><span style="color: black;">Raw Apple Cider Vinegar and Ab Definition</span></a><span style="color: black;"> </span></li> <li><a href="http://www.webmd.com/diet/apple-cider-vinegar?page=2" target="_blank" title="Apple Cider Vinegar"><span style="color: black;">ACV Uses, Benefits and Risks</span></a> </li> <li><a href="http://altmedicine.about.com/od/applecidervinegardiet/a/applecidervineg.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Apple Cider Vinegar: What should I know about it?</span></a></li> </ul> <br /> <em>Disclaimer –  please consult with your physician, pharmacist, or health care provider before taking any home remedies or supplements.
