AIDS IN WEIGHT LOSS:
Drinking down some apple cider vinegar can work wonders for you if you’re on a diet because it’ll instantly make you feel more full, which can help you eat less. Plus, a study has even shown that the acetic acid, found in apple cider vinegar, can even slow fat accumulation. Main point: apple cider vinegar does not play.
WHITENS TEETH:
Forget the days of using painful whitening strips to brighten up your smile, just swish some apple cider vinegar around your mouth, and watch your pearly white sparkle.
DOUBLES AS DEODORANT:
If you’re weary about using deodorant due to its toxins, apple cider vinegar is the perfect natural remedy to keep you feeling, and smelling, fresh.
FADES BRUISES:
If you’re anything like me, you never know where they come from, or how you got them, but still, you just seem to always be covered in bruises. Luckily, apple cider vinegar saves the day, as it acts as an anti-inflammatory that also helps ease the discoloration.
