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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
