For a year or so, whenever I have had the extra cash I would pay big for these expensive Apple Cider Vinegar gummy vitamins. Like almost 20 bucks for 90 of them big.
I just ran out and am scrambling for more but thankfully I did a bit of research first. I will say that I have loved how the Goli Apple Cider Vinegar gummy vitamins make me feel, but the benefits only come from taking 6-9 of them a day and they run out fast. Looking it up online, I can see why. These gummy vitamins and many like they are only 500 mg of Apple Cider Vinegar. In order to see benefits of the stuff you need about 1-2 tablespoons - which is over 14,787 mg. Just what are the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar? They are many, my friend. Here's a short list:
- can improve digestion;
- lowers blood sugar levels;
- improves insulin sensitivity;
- increases satiety and helps people to lose weight;
- reduces belly fat;
- lowers cholesterol;
- lowers blood pressure and improves heart health;
- prevents and decreases the risk of getting cancer and slows down the growth of cancer cells.
So now I am wondering should I just go for it and drink the stuff straight up? I have done that in the past. It hurts. It is not fun. It is, dare I say, super gross. But the gummy vitamins are pricey, have added stuff like oh, some sugar, and maybe are not the best investment. This all being said we need to find a way to take the Apple Cider Vinegar straight up and feel okay.
Here are four solid ways to drink Apple Cider Vinegar to get the full benefits without the added unknown ingredients, excess sugars, or expense.
- Use it as Salad Dressing by mixing Apple Cider Vinegar with apple cider and Dijon mustard in a pan over a simmer and then adding olive oil to the mixture. Next step: toss it together with some of your favorite vegetables
- Dilute it and take it as a tonic. Try 15 milliliters (mL) of Apple Cider Vinegar in 500 mL of water and drink it every day for 12 weeks.
- Try it as a tea. How? By Combining 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and a dash of cayenne pepper in a glass of warm water. It actually sounds good.
- Take it with honey. Honey is good for you and makes everything taste better. Grab a large mug of warm water, mix 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar with 2 tablespoons of honey and enjoy!
