Fortunately, God gave us an incredible ability to heal and regulate abnormal cell development. He also provided us with a way of life to reduce and negate the negative effects of lifestyle stress.
From a nutritional perspective, one of the simplest things to do is add some of our Creators most nutritious foods into our diet. Foods that have an incredible array of health benefits that go well beyond just their nutrient value are considered “super-foods.” Here are some of nature’s most powerful secrets to health and healing:
Apple Cider Vinegar:
This super tonic contains acetic acid, which is known to help the body absorb iron more effectively (1). Iron is primarily used as the mineral backbone within hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying molecule within red blood cells. Myoglobin, the oxygen extracting molecule within muscle, also consists of an iron backbone. Higher levels of bioavailable iron allow the body to better utilize oxygen. Boosting oxygen levels increases both energy production and detoxification processes.
The Acetic acid and active enzymes within the ACV also help the body metabolize protein and absorb the amino acids more effectively. This is a critical step for building healthy hormones, enzymes, and repairing tissue. Through these mechanisms, ACV helps to recover from injury, excessive exercise, and states of chronic pain. Additionally, better enzymatic function will increase energy and sense of well-being.
ACV is Amazing for the Skin:
ACV is an acid on the outside of our body, but has an alkaline ash when it is digested within our body. This is the best of both worlds. As an acid it is a powerful sterilizer that is great for improving the quality of our skin & hair. Additionally, it is great at removing warts, acting upon acne, and cleansing the body of dead skin cells.
Within the body, ACV balances our overall pH by providing extra alkaline buffering minerals in ionic potassium and magnesium. This benefit enhances overall energy production and detoxification processes. ACV also helps to balance and stabilize blood sugar and is great to consume before or with a higher carbohydrate meal to prevent a blood sugar spike. Be sure to purchase your ACV, completely raw and unpasteurized with an intact “mother.”
