Parable of the Starfish

One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked along he came upon a young girl who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one. Puzzled, the man looked at the girl and asked, "What are you doing?" Without looking up, the young girl responded, "I'm trying to save these starfish, sir." The man replied, "There are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make?" The girl picked up another starfish, gently tossed it into the water, turned to the man and said, "It made a difference to that one."

An Apple a Day...

You know that saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"?  Well I like the saying "apple cider vinegar each day keeps the debilitating mucus catarrh at bay."  Bet you haven't heard that one before! =D 
Yes I know, apple cider vinegar (or ACV for those of us that live in the American culture of abbreviating everything) is disgusting!  But, can you honestly tell me that mucus isn't disgusting too?  Mucus inhibits the absorption of nutrients, slows blood circulation and increases blood pressure, increases acidic pH levels, and creates an environment for parasites, fungus, and harmful bacteria to grow, resulting in digestive problems and disease, all of which stimulate weight gain.

Which substance would you rather have in your body? 
Pros and cons, folks...pros and cons.




Here's the skinny on apple cider vinegar:
ACV has long been used as an aid for weight loss and improving health. It is a very safe supplement, even for children.  This is why:

ACV supports detox-
ACV is rich in minerals, vitamins, and other nutritive substances. It contains vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin P, vitamin B1, B2, and B6, as well as the minerals manganese, iron, calcium, sodium, magnesium, sulpher, copper, phosphorus, silicon, chlorine, and fluorine. ACV also provides enzymes, amino acids, aldehydes, potash, alcoholic acids, propionic acid, and apple pectin. All of these support the bodies filtering systems to detox unwanted toxins and mucus.

ACV helps create an alkaline environment-
The pH level of our bodies is critical to our health. An alkaline body will more readily absorb nutrients. The more acidic we are, the more likely we are to store fat. Overly acidic bodies greatly diminishes the effectiveness of your immune system.The pH of ACV is very beneficial for the body. Even though ACV is an acid, it has an alkalizing effect on the body. When we alkalize our bodies, we absorb more nutrients, which causes us to need to eat less since we are getting the nutrients we need, and thus we lose weight.

ACV promotes fat depletion-
ACV is obtained from the fermentation of apples. Fermentation provides alcoholic apple cider that is combined with oxygen to produce acetic acid. Acetic acid helps prevent the buildup of body fat and certain liver fats, by assisting in breaking down fats so thatyour body can use them rather than store them.

ACV boosts your immune system-
ACV has malic acid in it. Malic acid contains the properties of being an anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal. 

ACV is an anti-inflammatory-
The acetic acid and active enzymes within the ACV also help the body metabolize protein and absorb the amino acids more effectively. This is a critical step for building healthy hormones and enzymes and repairing tissue. Through these mechanisms, ACV helps to recover from injury, excessive exercise, and states of chronic pain.

SOOOO...long story short, if you what to super charge your body's cleansing abilities, add apple cider vinegar to your daily regimen.  Got a weak stomach?  Quick gag reflex?  No worries!  You ever look at the back of the Isagenix Accelerator capsule?  The main ingredient is ACV!  So if you're not taking it,  get on it!  If you are already taking it, keep doing so.  I'm a double-dipper by nature myself.  So I take the accelerator capsule and ACV capsules every morning.  I notice all the difference in my recovery time between workouts, and the amount of soreness I get.
