Introduction
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) and baking soda are two common household items known for their versatility in cooking, cleaning, and even as natural remedies. Both have been touted for their potential health benefits, and many people swear by their ability to improve digestion, detoxify the body, and even aid in weight loss. But with all the hype surrounding these two ingredients, it’s important to understand what the science says about their effectiveness and safety when used together. In this article, we’ll explore the truth behind apple cider vinegar and baking soda, what benefits they may offer, and whether they’re truly healthy when combined.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (preferably organic, unfiltered, and with the “mother”)
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1 cup of water
Optional: A few drops of lemon juice or honey for added taste
Instructions
Prepare the Drink:
Start by adding 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into a glass.
Next, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the vinegar. You will notice some fizzing as the baking soda reacts with the acid in the vinegar. This reaction produces carbon dioxide, which creates bubbles.
Add Water:
After the fizzing has stopped, pour in 1 cup of water and stir well to ensure that both the vinegar and baking soda are properly diluted.
Optional Additions:
If you find the taste of apple cider vinegar too strong, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a teaspoon of honey to balance out the acidity and make the drink more palatable.
Drink:
Sip this mixture on an empty stomach in the morning or after meals to reap its potential health benefits.
