I’ve recently discovered the power of apple cider vinegar, and I’ve fallen in love. It has so many health benefits, I still don’t even think I’ve discovered them all myself. Once you read all these uses apple cider vinegar has, I'm sure you’ll be throwing out some costly products for this one super product that can replace them all.

1. Skin

Once you get past the strong smell of ACV, putting it on your face won’t be so tough. A few of its benefits for your skin are it will help you reduce age spots, fight acne, balance your skin, fight wrinkles, and remove toxins from your face.

I’ve saved so much money on expensive face washes by replacing them with ACV.

2. Blood Sugar

If you are diabetic, pre-diabetic or just want to control your insulin and blood sugar levels, apple cider vinegar has shown great promise in regulating it all.

Like ACV, acetic acid has a positive effect on blood glucose and preventing blood sugar spiking after meals. Also, if you drink some before you go to sleep, it can help control blood fasting glucose levels.

Having high blood sugar can lead to a lot of chronic diseases, so even if you aren’t affected by diabetes, you still need to control it.

3. Heartburn

Ever eaten something super greasy or a big plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce, and felt regret afterward because of acid reflux? A natural remedy to help is drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.

Your stomach needs a healthy balance of acids and pH balance and drinking some ACV will cut the burn easily, plus you won’t feel guilty taking a medication if you’re like me.

4. Rid toxins

Drinking apple cider vinegar daily can help boost your liver back to health. One of its jobs is already to rid your body of toxins, ACV takes some of that workload off your liver.

This will also help boost circulation and help detoxify our body quicker. ACV helps reduce oxidization in your liver as well, this has shown an overall effect of reducing liver damage according to a lot of studies.

p.s. This does not mean it’s okay to take that fifteenth shot of tequila Susan, go sit down somewhere.

5. Common cold/allergies


As I said before, ACV is an acidic substance and it can help alkalinize the body. Creating an alkaline environment helps kill bacteria and viruses that cause colds and sickness.

For help with allergies, apple cider vinegar can help reduce mucus production and cleanse your sinuses.

I’ve been sick/ maybe developed allergies for the past few months and recently discovered this use of ACV. I’ve been drinking a tablespoon of it diluted in water once a day and I can say I’ve been seeing results without taking any medication.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
