If you’d like to remove the effects of processed foods and other chemicals, you may want to try an Apple Cider Vinegar Detox. Benefits may include:
- giving the body a good dose of enzymes
- increasing potassium intake
- supporting a healthy immune system
- helping with weight control
- promoting pH-balance in the body
- aiding with healthy digestion
- adding good bacteria for the gut and immune function
- helping to remove “sludge toxins” from the body

The basic recipe is as follows:
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar
- 8 ounces of purified or distilled water

There are many variations on this basic drink. Some include adding lemon juice. Others add a dash of cayenne pepper. With an apple cider vinegar detox, you consume this type of drink regularly for a set period of time — several days to a month or more.
