Day #3

Hello again =)

 

I started today with my usual hot water, lemon and apple cider vinegar

 

 

 

Apple Cider Vinegar is something which I have recently started using. I had it from amazon, the brand is Bragg and it is organic, raw and unpasteurized with 'The Mother'

 

I first had a bottle of Apple cider vinegar from Tesco, but after doing a bit of research, the one I had bought didn't have 'The Mother'

 

'The Mother' is a ball of beneficial living enzymes which are rammed with goodness and is responsible for many of the beneficial properties of the vinegar.

 

I add it to my drinks, juices and use it as a salad dressing, Here are some reasons why I added it to my daily routine..

 

Prevents Flu and stomach illness

Dissolves kidney stones

Balances pH balance in the body

Helps relieve heartburn, nausea and acid reflux

Helps relieve asthma and allergies

DINNER 8PM

When I got home from work, I popped a chicken breast in the slow cooker with a little bit of chicken stock and a few herbs and spices - paprika and cayenne pepper. I put it on on high for about 3.hours so was ready when I walked in from kettlebells.
