Making Your Stomach Work Properly

Drink one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water at

meals. Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid which stimulates the

production of stomach acid. The more stomach acid the better as it

breaks down your food into smaller molecules. The smaller the

molecules the more efficiently your intestines and liver can absorb

the nutrients it needs. In the old days, the stomach would be

producing acid so at meal time there's not enough acid to digest the

food. This creates all kinds of problems –indigestion, gastic

reflux, IBS, bad breath, diverticulus, fatty liver, lactose

intolerance, allergies, fatigue, etc. but just a little bit of apple

cider vinegar gets the stomach working well again.
