Cheers to Good Health!

I've always been interested in nutrition and healthy eating (although sometimes you would never know it!).  In fact, my first major in college was nutrition until I realized how many science classes I would have to take!  Despite not majoring in nutrition, I have continued to have an interest in learning about how our bodies work and what they need to be healthy. 

So, I've recently started drinking this drink each morning upon rising and even when I get home from work for a quick pick-me up.  I am currently on day 15 of my 21 day venture of drinking this drink daily.  "Why 21 days?" you may ask...because that is supposed to be the amount of days it takes to have a routine become more of a habit that you are more likely to stick to.  I will admit it has been hard at times, but I haven't missed a day.  John has also been drinking this with me although very reluctantly at times!

Yep!  That's right...apple cider vinegar with water and fresh squeezed lemon juice!  It's actually not that bad with the lemon juice, but it's definitly not one of my favorite drinks either!  The health benefits are amazing.  It has to be the raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar.  Here are a few of the many reasons why we're drinking this:

• Hippocrates (the father of medicine) found and used it to treat his patients in 400 BC
• It has been proven to be a natural antibiotic and antiseptic that fights germs and bacteria
• Christopher Columbus even had barrels of this on his ships to help fight infection with his crew
• Helps counter the aging process
• Helps joint stiffness
• Supports a healthy immune system
• Rich in enzymes and potassium
• Helps control weight
• Promotes digestion
• Promotes soft, healthy skin
• Relieves muscle pain from exercise
• Soothes sore throats
• Helps remove body toxins
• Helps clean your liver which helps burn 80% of our fat

So cheers to burning fat and good health!  I don't know about you, but I'm going to keep drinking this and see what happens!
