Organic raw unfiltered apple cider is made from crushed organic apples that are wrapped in cloth and placed between wooden racks. A hydraulic press squeezes the juice into tanks to produce the cider. The vinegar component of apple cider naturally fights bacteria and can be used to cure certain ailments that usually require antibiotics or medication. Apple cider contains many important minerals such as iron, copper, magnesium, calcium, chlorine and sulfur. The benefits include but are not limited to lowering blood pressure, eliminating acne blemishes and facilitating weight loss.
Lowering Blood Pressure
Drinking unfiltered apple cider with a tablespoon of honey twice a day is supposed to lower your blood pressure. Apple cider contains potassium which helps to balance sodium levels in the body. In effect, this keeps your blood pressure at healthy levels. Honey and apple cider both include traces of magnesium which relaxes blood vessel walls and thus lowers your blood pressure.
Curing Acne
Unfiltered apple cider and its vinegar is a natural cure for acne because it contains acid that helps to clean out dirty pores. The vinegar form of apple cider helps remove excess oil, kills bacteria and stabilizes the pH level of your skin. Apply a mixture of raw apple cider vinegar and water with cotton several times during the day.
Weight Loss
According to a 2005 study conducted at Lund University in Sweden, drinking 2 tsp. of apple cider in its vinegar form mixed with a glass of water before every meal will help you lose weight faster. The mixture stabilizes your blood sugar so that your appetite is suppressed. Drinking this combination and following a healthy eating plan will aid you in your weight-loss effort.
