A friend by the name of Bethea who is an astrologer and a writer passed on a very simple spring tonic recipe for loosing weight.
- Apple cider vinegar is said to help shed winter pounds, increase our metabolism and suppress our appetite. It has also been proven to stabilize sugar levels, decrease the body's acidity and increase energy levels. I find this a helpful tonic when the seasons change. Try adding a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to an eight-ounce glass of water. You can combine ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar with ¼ cup warm water for an effective gargle against a sore throat. If you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed, one or two capfuls in a warm bath should help to support and balance the emotional body while calming the mind. At the same time, it will flush out toxins through your skin. Now, doesn't that sound like a quick and easy way to detoxify, Meena? Who needs chemicals and slick packaging when all you need is 20 minutes to relax in a hot bath? And yes, it is a good idea to rinse quickly afterwards unless you're not concerned about smelling like a salad.
- Lemons are also another great addition to any cleansing and maintenance program. From stimulating digestive enzymes to cleaning the bile ducts in your liver, this simple citrus adds Vitamin C as well as other minerals to support your immune system. Actually, you can add a bit of lemon to your apple cider vinegar for a double whammy! If you find it hard to swallow, perhaps adding a bit of honey will help. Real maple syrup is also a wonderful sweetener and adds lots of iron and minerals to the mix.
