Good Morning Everyone!

Apple Cider Vinegar – many of you may already have this in your pantry and in the past may have used it in a salad dressing or marinade.  But have you ever used it for a boost of energy, to whiten your teeth, level out your blood sugars or fight the common cold?!?!  Organic ACV (with the mother as shown in the pic) is made from fresh, crushed, organically grown apples and allowed to mature in tanks, which boosts its natural fermentation qualities. When mature, it contains a web-like substance, called “mother” that becomes visible when the rich brownish liquid is held to the light.  ACV is naturally antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal.  While there haven’t been scientific studies conducted to prove every benefit that many people rave about based on their own personal experience or because their Grandma used it, there have been some studies conducted that show ACV can increase insulin sensitivity and significantly lower blood sugar responses during meals.  This is beneficial to all of us but especially those with Type 2 Diabetes.  Click the link below for more info:
