What Are Wellness Shots?

Benefits Of Apple Cider Vinegar Wellness Shots

Apple cider vinegar wellness shots are great for controlling blood sugar, aiding in digestion, plus they offer antimicrobial benefits. When combined with ingredients like ginger, turmeric, and lemon, they help reduce inflammation, and provide you with a healthy dose of vitamin C. 

Apple Cider Vinegar – has an active ingredient called acetic acid which is an antimicrobial agent that helps the body fight viruses and infections.

Ginger – contains 2 powerful compounds called 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol. Both work by stopping the production of inflammatory compounds and blocking key inflammatory pathways in the body. Ginger also helps with digestion, nausea, and boosts the immune system.

Lemon – helps boost the immune system and prevent cell damage and oxidative stress. It’s also a great source of vitamin C and potassium. Adding fresh lemon juice to your wellness shots will also help improve your skin quality and boost collagen production.

Turmeric – contains curcumin which research shows can significantly reduce inflammation in the body. Curcumin targets inflammation conditions like arthritis, joint pain, colitis, allergies, and infections.

Black pepper – contains a compound called Piperine which helps the body absorb curcumin from the turmeric by 2000%. Without adding black pepper to your turmeric recipes, your body will absorb very little curcumin.

Orange – provides you with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that boost the immune system, support heart health, aid in iron absorption, and help reduce inflammation in the body.

Apple Cider Vinegar Wellness Shots Recipe

Ingredients for 7-8 servings | Total time: 15 minutes

  • 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
  • 100g of ginger root (washed & chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon of turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 4 lemons (washed & chopped)

How To Make ACV Wellness Shots

Add all of the ingredients above into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Next, grab a clean large bowl and place a fine mesh strainer or a cheese cloth over it and pour the blended juice into the strainer. 

Make sure not to fill it up because you need room to stir with a spoon so that it drains easily. Discard the pulps and continue this process until you’ve strained it all.

Now transfer the juice into 80 ml bottles with lids and place them in the fridge. 

When To Drink ACV Wellness Shots

You can drink ACV wellness shots in the morning to boost your energy levels and before meals to aid in digestion and control blood sugars levels. You can also drink it after your meals to help with nutrient absorption.

It really depends what your goal is with ACV shots, however, you will need to drink it for the whole 7 days to get any real benefits. Just make sure you don’t drink it before bedtime because it can cause acid reflux and send you to the bathroom a few times.

Who Should Not Drink ACV Wellness Shots

As much as this drink is health, it is not recommended for everyone. People with diabetes, low potassium, acid reflux, ulcers, should refrain from drinking acv shots. Also, if you are on laxative, insulin, or diuretics, you may want to skip this remedy as well.

Storage

These wellness shots can be stored for up to 7 days in the fridge but always make sure to store them in clean, dry bottles and close them tightly before storing. You can also freeze them into cubes to use in your drinks and smoothies. 

When freezing, make sure to pour them into a ice cube tray that comes with a lid to prevent other smells from the freezer to get in.
