Why Apple Cider Vinegar + Agave + Lemon Together?

Well, the short answer is that each ingredient has a ton of health benefits individually, therefore, putting them together adds more power! I delve further into their individual benefits throughout this post, but that’s really my main reason for adding them together for this detox.

What is a Detox?

By dictionary definition, Detox is the psychological or medicinal removal of toxic substances from the human body. Therefore, detoxes like this one helps your body to reset and get rid of toxins (which can be built up by many factors internally and externally) so that we can feel rejuvenated, improve our health, and help with weight loss. 

Other Great Ways to Detox.

Despite the misconception, there are many ways to detox your whole body which don’t always require making your own recipe of drinks and teas. 

When it comes to natural home remedies, we often think that taking little steps won’t eventually bring us to the major milestones that we hope for. However, truth is–every big milestone occurs after several mini steps. Therefore, 3 Detoxes That You Should Be Doing More Often discusses some of the mini steps that you can take to ensure that your goal to ‘complete wellness’ happens before the year ends.

Why Use Agave? Is it Better than Honey?

While we all know that honey is a powerful antioxidant and healthy ingredient, many of us have overlooked the benefits of using Agave. When it comes to a natural sweetener, Agave has been one of my favorites to use. Yes, I do love using maple syrup (in it’s purest form) which also has it’s own health benefits, however, Agave has been so good to me. Haha.

Did you know that Agave has powerful effects on our bodies as well? Yup and it’s the perfect alternative to sugar and all vegan. Derived from the Blue Agave plant, Agave sweetener is: very low on the glycemic index, can help boost your metabolism, great for pregnant mothers and their babies when it comes to morning sickness and nerve development, helps keep your heart healthy, and so much more.

How Powerful is Apple Cider Vinegar Really?

OK, so apple cider vinegar is one of my GO-TO, go-to’s! Yes, I had to say that twice. Haha. But honestly, I’m in love with ACV for so many reasons, especially since it’s one of the acids that I use for most of my vegan recipes, especially in banking. However, when it comes using ACV as a natural remedy, I’m such a huge fan. Just be sure to get the Organic unfiltered ACV with the mother—I get mine from Bragg. Why? Well, because ACV has some powerful properties and benefits which includes:

Helps to kill harmful bacteria

May help lower blood sugar levels + help with diabetes

Improves heart health

May boost skin health + more.

How Much Apple Cider Vinegar Should I Consume?

Of course, like many home remedies, ACV shouldn’t be overused due to it’s powerful nature. On average, consuming 1-2 tsps or 1-2 Tbsps per day mixed in a large glass of water is recommended, especially since it’s super acidic.

SO WHY ROSEMARY?

OK, so besides the fact that Rosemary is a super popular herb in cooking, I chose to use it for it’s health benefits as well. Rosemary is an evergreen shrub that has need-like leaves and a woody aroma. However, besides being popular in the cooking world, it is also used as a medicinal plant, especially in the use of rosemary oil.

In addition, Rosemary has the following awesome health benefits:

• May Improve Brain Function.
