This everyday kitchen staple has been used for over 5,000 years to support health..

Long before wellness trends and supplements, people were using simple fermented foods like Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) to support digestion, boost immunity and promote overall wellbeing.

Even Hippocrates reportedly recommended vinegar with a little honey to help with coughs and colds.

But if drinking ACV isn’t your thing, an easy way to harness all its goodness is by making Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies. You can find the recipe in my last post.

To learn more about ACV and all it's amazing health benefits, head over to the blog post on my website to read the full article. Link in bio 💚

Want an easy way to support your digestive health?

These Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies are prepped in portions, ready in the fridge and perfect to grab on the run. I love having one before meals or anytime I don’t feel like drinking vinegar.

So why is apple cider vinegar so good for you?

🍏 It improves digestion
🍏 Helps reduce constipation
🍏 Balances blood sugar levels + reduces sugar spikes
🍏 Supports weight loss

ACV also naturally contains acetic acid, which has mild antimicrobial properties and when paired with gelatin, you also get gut-soothing collagen support.

Makes: approx. 40 gummies

Ingredients:
• ¾ cup apple cider vinegar
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 1 cup apple juice or water
• ½ cup water
• 2–4 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 3 tbsp gelatin powder

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Allow the gelatin to hydrate for 1–2 minutes.

Place on low–medium heat and gently simmer, stirring for about 5 minutes until fully dissolved.

Pour into silicone moulds or into a dish (each gummy approx. 1 tbsp).

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Enjoy your cabbage family vegetables!!

CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES AND BLOOD VESSELS

As I've said in my Whole Detox and The Rainbow Diet books, eating green is for heart health. Here is a recent study in which they showed that eating cruciferous vegetables resulted in less build-up of calcium in the vessels of women. And the amount you need to eat is not very much, just ¼ cup of steamed broccoli or ½ cup of raw cabbage, which resulted in a 46% reduced build-up of calcium on their aorta compared to those eating none or very little every day.

Cruciferous vegetable intake is inversely associated with extensive abdominal aortic calcification in elderly women: a cross-sectional study.

With growing appreciation for the gut microbiome's role in maintaining human health, concern has risen that antibiotics may perturb and permanently alter these fragile microbial communities.

This could potential impact the risk of gastrointestinal disease.

In what is the largest study thus far linking antibiotic therapy and risk of IBD, researchers in Sweden and the U.S. were able to more definitively demonstrate that more frequent use of antibiotics was associated with the development of IBD and its subtypes, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

"I think this affirms what many of us have suspected—that antibiotics, which adversely affect gut microbial communities, are a risk factor for IBD," said lead author, Dr. Long Nguyen at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, U.S.

Antibiotics use, particularly antibiotics with greater spectrum of microbial coverage, may be associated with an increased risk of new-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its subtypes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. That is according to a study by researchers at Karolinska Institutet....

The gut microbiome just keeps on giving

Recent studies have provided strong evidence that gut microbiota can positively affect anti-tumor immunity and improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy in treating certain cancers

Researchers with the Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases at the Cu***ng School of Medicine (CSM) have discovered which gut bacteria help our immune system battle cancerous tumors and how they do it. The discovery may provide a new understanding of why immunotherapy, a treatment for cancer that hel...
