Baking soda and apple cider vinegar

These two all-natural products aren’t just for culinary use. Both apple cider vinegar and baking soda have amazing properties that have a positive effect on the health and condition of our body.

To get the best healing properties out of apple cider vinegar, we need to make sure we’re using a raw, unpasteurized ingredient, preferably from an organic store. In the process of pasteurization, the vinegar loses most of its healing properties as well as its nutritional value.

In addition to being very effective against heartburn, baking soda has properties that can also help relieve you, for example, from a troublesome sore throat.

Drinking water mixed with apple cider vinegar and baking soda can provide us with the following health benefits:

• The pH balance of our body – soda effectively combats the increased level of acidification, which makes us susceptible to various types of chronic and degenerative diseases. In addition, it prevents and treats oral diseases that negatively affect our teeth, enamel and gums.
• The mixture of apple cider vinegar and baking soda effectively eliminates toxins that accumulate in our body, which are the result of, for example, an unhealthy diet, being in a polluted environment, excessive stress, etc.
• It helps in the functioning of the digestive system and fights heartburn.
• It improves the lymphatic drainage of our body in order to obtain the appropriate blood consistency and prevents the phenomenon of fluid retention in the body.

• It helps to balance disorders of the circulatory system, such as excessively high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.
• It reduces high blood pressure.
• It helps in the case of slimming diets, fights appetite, improves the digestion of fats and speeds up the metabolism.
• It improves breathing problems.
