Day 4-6- ACV

As the days go on I find that my energy has been steady, mental clarity is sharp and I have not felt too "full" after eating.  I have steadily had one cup of water with two tspn of ACV upon awaking and another mid afternoon.  When I find myself out for the day, I prepare my drink and bring it with me.  Turns out to be a great "pick me up". 

Day 3- ACV

Today, was a slower day for me.  It has been a long time since I have not had to be on a tight time schedule.  I awoke early (6:10) and tried to get back to sleep.  That didn't happen, so I got up and had my morning drink of ACV.  I have found that after I drink ACV, I can take or leave coffee. 
For a long time, I have had a ritual in the morning.  While the day is quiet, I read my journals, catch up on research and sip my hot coffee.  Thus far I don't choose to let it go.
Today I noticed that the puffiness near my eyes seems to be even lesser, my energy has been good and no problem with digestion.  My colleague mentioned that after drinking ACV, I should probably brush my teeth to wash away the acidic environment, so tomorrow I am going to start. 
Yesterday, when I felt tired at about 5:00, I realized it was right after I finished the third cup of ACV.  For today, I have cut back the dosage from three cups of ACV a day to two. I feel better and it is a good reminder to listen to your body...

Day 2- Apple Cider Vinegar

Day two has been similar; but in addition to better energy, including a  45 minute brisk walk on hilly terrain, I realized that the puffiness under my eyes decreased.  In Chinese Medicine, this would be viewed as part of a spleen qi deficiency.  So, just observing a link here.  It has been shown that ACV (I will be using this abbreviation for now on) helps digestion, assimilation and pH balance, all having to do with the function of the spleen. Very interesting that before I started this I was feeling rather sluggish and now, two days later, not a trace.

Day 1- Apple Cider Vinegar

Over the last few days, from the various journals I have picked up to read, apple cider vinegar has been referenced.  After seeing this several times, I became intrigued and started to conduct my own research.  After all, Hippocrates in 400 BC treated his patients with apple cider vinegar due to its healing qualities.

I searched Pub med and sure enough, there are several reviews on apple cider vinegar having effects on glucose metabolism, reducing cholesterol and there have been a few studies on apple cider vinegar and weight loss. I have also read that it maintains the body's pH. 

So, I decided to start an experiment on myself and see what happens. I am going to track my energy, mental clarity and digestion. By the way, I often try a therapy before I recommend it to someone else.

As the heading implies, this was day one; Preparation is 2 teaspoons into 8 oz of water.  I drank a glass when I awoke, mid-morning and then again mid-afternoon.  As a result I felt my energy, mental clarity and digestion great all day.  At about 5:00 I started to slow down, however, I did have a busy day. 

Until tomorrow.....
