ACV Gummies...what's all the hype??

ACV gummies seem to be all the rage right now, with every vitamin company releasing their own unique spin on them. If you follow me on IG you know that I recently tried the Mary Ruth’s Organics Apple Cider Vinegar gummies for a month. Honestly, I was skeptical because I swear by my Lean and Green Body® morning routine. There is something so satisfying about taking that ACV shot in the morning…it legit revs my body up and gives me a boost of energy! How is a gummy… that actually tastes good…supposed to give me that same feeling?

Okayyy well let me tell you… I ended up loving them! I totally was not expecting that. With only 1 gram of sugar per gummy these are a good choice for everyone in the family.

These gummies are way more pleasant to take in the morning instead of my typically ACV shot.

Less burn ya know, lol!

These are the perfect solution for someone who has trouble completing the entire Lean and Green Body® morning routine. These will also travel so well, so I recommend keeping a bottle in your travel bag!

This is not a sponsored post, I have just been seeing so much about ACV gummies that I had to share my thoughts!

Have you tried them? What do you think??

Are Organic Lemons Really Alkalizing??

Alright, let’s clear one thing up. Something that has been blowing my clients minds for years.

Why are organic lemons alkalizing?

I mean aren’t lemons acidic? Don’t they have a very acidic (low) pH?

Today I’m going to blow your minds… organic lemons are indeed alkalizing. 

Yep, you read that right. 

Want to know why…

Foods are considered to be either acidic or alkalizing depending on how they respond inside the body… not how they act outside the body. A food could have a very acidic pH outside of the body, but once inside the body they become very alkalizing…this food is then termed an alkaline food. 

Inside our bodies lemon are very alkalizing. Once lemons are ingested, broken down and metabolized they actually help to make the pH of our bodies more alkaline. 

Organic lemons are actually considered to be one of the most alkalizing foods we can eat. 

Is there really a difference between organic and non-organic lemons? In my professional opinion, yes absolutely. Non-organic or conventional lemons are sprayed with a myriad of pesticides, herbicides and other toxins. These toxins penetrate the skin (especially when you slice into a lemon) and you end up ingesting these toxins. These chemicals are extremely acidic and harmful to your health, and outweigh the positive alkalizing benefits of the lemons. 

When possible always buy organic OR talk to your local farmer at the market about their growing principles. 

Lemons are an incredibly healing food, and part of my daily diet. Click here to read all about how I incorporate lemons into my morning routine.
