My husband and I have recently in the past two years discovered the awesome benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar.
The benefits of apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar helps to regulate blood sugar levels, enhances weight loss, lower cholesterol, improves skin health (I use it on my psoriasis), reduces blood pressure, helps control symptoms of acid reflux and can boost your overall gut health plus many more!
It even works great on a sunburn! I have been known to use it as a clarifying rinse on my hair to get rid of shampoo build up.
I have taken to using apple cider vinegar in our dressing to help add a little “healthy” into our salads. Salads, as a rule, are not necessarily healthy because of all the add-ons that most people put on top of them.
Our Healthy Chicken Salad with Lemon-Pepper Seasoning and strawberry-lemonade dressing is a super balanced meal. It’s packed with protein and even has a bit of bacon for an added crunch. You have to have a bit of bacon!
