so the question today is why would you want to use lemon juice and apple cider

vinegar for your liver let’s talk about it the key element or factor in apple

cider vinegar is not the vitamins and minerals and apple cider vinegar

it’s the acetic acid so as far as the quality goes and up cider vinegar you

get something that’s organic you can get Bragg’s there’s other organic versions

but commercial opposite of vinegar has sometimes pesticides in it so just get

some in its quality okay what does acetic acid do it helps suppress fat

storage now why does it prevent a person from storing fat mainly what it does to

your blood sugars it actually improves insulin sensitivity it makes insulin

more sensitive which means it reduces insulin resistance which means it will

reduce insulin okay and anything that does that will help prevent the storage

of fat and stabilize your blood sugars and reduces fat on the liver because

fatty liver comes from high levels of insulin but the real big benefit for

outside of vinegar is this it speeds up digestion okay it helps you release bile

from your liver it helps the pancreas release enzymes so let’s say for example

you ate a meal and you feel bloated or you have indigestion you want to take

apple cider vinegar it just helps to speed up with the digestive juices the

flow of fluids through your liver through the stomach through the small

intestine so if you have any doubts try it yourself and you’ll see that it will

work so these are the main key benefits of adding up soda vinegar to your diet

now let’s shift over to lemon okay so you can do raw lemons or lemon juice in

a bottle just realize that if you’re consuming lemon juice in a bottle it’s

cooked it’s pasteurized and anything that you heat you destroy enzymes and

you destroy certain vitamins you’re going to greatly lower the vitamin C

when you do that there’s other benefits to lemon juice that go beyond vitamin C

but you’re not going to get a lot of vitamin C if you’re getting it from a

bottle and as a side note if you’re gonna get lemon juice in a bottle make

sure you get an organic version not the one that you usually get at the grocery

store that has the preservatives get something just with

lemon juice and water so there’s several benefits of lemon juice one is if it’s

raw you’re getting a lot of good vitamin C

so vitamin C is very very important especially to the liver

it’s a powerful antioxidant and there’s a lot of oxidation and free radical

damage going on the liver so vitamin C is very important in reducing that

oxidative effect that happens in the liver vitamin C also will increase

glutathione which is a another powerful antioxidant in the body especially in

your liver and even now glutathione is not made inside the mitochondria the

little energy factories it’s used by the mitochondria as a very important

antioxidant and you should probably check out some of the videos I have on

the mitochondria I put a link down below on that topic alright next thing lemon

juice protects against liver damage lemon juice has a lot of phytonutrients

not just vitamins and certain minerals these phytonutrients are very necessary

in protecting the cells against all the chemicals that are involved I mean think

about it your liver is the main organ to detoxify poisons and chemicals and it

needs antioxidants not just the ones that your body makes but you need them

from the diet as well and lemons provide a good source of antioxidants and citric

acid decreases oxalates okay and oxalates actually can form kidney stones

they can actually form crystals that cause pain in certain parts of the body

and citric acid helps prevent those and this is one of the reasons why if you’re

doing keto and then fasting this is this would be a really good drink to consume

for the benefits of apple cider vinegar and also the benefits to reduce oxalates

and one more benefit that lemon has is its anti-inflammatory properties

when a person has a fatty liver their inflammation goes up and that can

develop all sorts of buildup of collagen as scar tissue which eventually turns

into cirrhosis so anything that reduces inflammation would be a good thing now

there’s many different ways that you can consume this you can take apple cider

vinegar in a pill there’s even lemon powder

what I do personally is I take between one and two ounces of lemon juice it’s

usually two ounces and then I’ll mix that with two tablespoons of apple cider

vinegar in about 16 ounces of water okay and I’ll just drink that down I normally

like to consume this mixture after dinner maybe about 6 or 7 o’clock at

night some people like to take a smaller version and consume that before meals

it’s really up to you you can test it out different ways and sometimes I’ll

add a scoop of wheatgrass juice powder to this mixture which just adds more

nutrients and then there’s other times that I consume my wheatgrass juice

powder by itself in water in the morning very early in about a 16-ounce jar so

I’ll do that a little bit early in the day and I’ll have this more in the

evening and this seems to really help digestion so as you doing in a minute

fasting to meals and one meal and you feel like you’re just a little bit

stuffed or you feel a full sensation or bloating the combination of both of

these in some water can really help to enhance digestion and take the stress

off the liver all right guys thanks for watching so if you want more knowledge
