After 8-10 hours of ‘fasting’ overnight, your body is primed for some nourishment. Don’t waste this opportunity to firstly continue the body’s natural cleansing process and refuel the body for the day’s mental and physical activities.

Did you know having a tablespoon of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar in water with 1/4 teaspoon of bi-carbonate soda will decrease the viscosity (thickness) of your blood? With your blood flowing more easily this kickstarts your circulation and lymphatic system into eliminating waste (detoxify), an important yet often overlooked necessity in maintaining wellbeing. Have a glass of this first up and notice the difference in your energy levels! Hippocrates, the Father of medicine, used it for it’s amazing natural cleansing, healing and energising health qualities.

From personal experience this age-old remedy was a turning point in my health. After the birth of my daughter, I really struggled with low energy, aching joints and muscles, physical and especially mental lethargy. I read of the benefits of ACV and I intuitively knew this was what I needed so began taking it first thing in the morning. The improvement was almost instant and it all made sense- my blood ph was too acidic and my circulation sluggish and the alkalising effect of the vinegar was amazing. Make sure you get an organic raw,unfiltered ACV – containing the sediment called the ‘mother’. Braggs or Melrose are the best. The bi-carb soda has it’s own alkalising and cleansing benefits, but more importantly it takes the ‘tartness’ out of the drink- much more palatable!

At least 10 mins after your ACV drink, your digestive system is ready for effective nourishment so if you’re on the run in the morning and struggle to find a breakfast that is satisfying we suggest an easy-to-prepare and easy-to-digest smoothie!
