Jackie's Health Tip of the Week 1/22/17
Digestive upset?
Sip apple cider vinegar. As many as 90 percent of Americans produce too little stomach acid. This acid, known as hydrochloric acid (HCL), is responsible for unlocking digestive enzymes, promoting digestion and improving nutrient absorption. Low acid means the body is not properly absorbing nutrients from food, so you may be prone to deficiencies even if you have a balanced diet! Acid reflux is the result of producing too little stomach acid. By consuming 1 to 3 teaspoons of raw, organic apple cider vinegar (ACV) with the mother (I use Bragg's) diluted in water about 20 minutes before eating, ACV can help to increase stomach acid and nutrient absorption. Be sure to swish water in your mouth after drinking in order to protect your tooth enamel from erosion.
