Let's talk about ACV

Good morning! I didn't want to muddy up the daily eating thread with this question/discussion.

I've been taking ACV in the morning, first thing. This has been going on for about 2 months now, and I'm feeling amazing. When I was at the women's conference, there was a vendor from Austin selling Tough Mother https://toughmotherbrand.com/ . I ended up purchasing the TM steept health shot sweet and spicy. It's much more palatable than the plain Bragg's I had been using.

My intent in creating this thread is to talk to other people who may be taking ACV, or other supplements (not vitamins) that are making them feel good? For example, I've incorporated lots of ginger and turmeric into my daily diet and my joints can feel the difference.

So, any thoughts? Anyone taking or eating anything that really seems to be working and making you feel good?

I don't do it right now but in the past I would do a lemon juice-cayenne-ginger shot. It was great "wake me up"! Now I take a lemon-cayenne-ginger tea occasionally.

I've been amazed how awake I feel, shortly after having it. I think it's helping with digestion, and even weight loss. Your tea sounds good!

You're in San Antonio, right? I first tried it at a place called Farm to Juice there of 1604...I know SA sprawls so that may/may not be close to you.

One morning, after a late night followed by an early start, I brought in the lemon juice-cayenne-ginger shots from there for all my colleagues...my boss at the time took her's and then asked "why are you mad at me", it was pretty funny. They are not for everyone, that's for sure!

Hah! That sounds like my husband in the morning asking me "Why are you doing this to yourself?" or "You know, you don't have to drink grass to be healthy..." It's hard making him understand I like these things.

I need to look for that place called Farm to Juice. I have to be really careful though, since I have reactive hypoglycemia. I can do blended fruits/veggies with water, but for some reason pressed juices or just juice in general will throw me into a really bad reaction. I bought a juicer a few years ago, used it once, had a reaction that felt like death due to my choice of fruits and promptly gave it to my sister.

I haven't had the lemon juice, cayenne, ginger shots but there is a Buda juice at HEB that sounds really close to that. I loved it, except I think the lemon was WAY too strong and my mouth is puckering just thinking about it!

RH is why I haven't tried then since surgery...also I wonder how the concentrated lemon juice would do on the pouch. The tea is nice substitute but not quite the same ZING!

You know, I will tell you that ever morning I chase my ACV wellness shot with a small Buda juice, because it doe**** my pouch hard. But, I think that's just the nature of anything super acidic or sour. The same would happen if I was doing pickle juice shots (after running) or the lemon stuff.

I do think that I would like to try the tea, if you will tell me how to make it? Especially now that it's going to be getting colder, I'm a huge fan of tea.

I buy it from David's Tea - it's the lemon cayenne tea sachets (davidstea.com). It's yummy
