Apple Cider Vinegar & Manuka Honey: The Ultimate Wellness Blend

More and more experts are peeling away from traditional medicinal approaches and embracing holistic wellness remedies. For many, we’ve come to the realization that prevention trumps treatment—basically every single time.

Apple cider vinegar is one of the most popular natural wellness remedies raved about by celebrities and health gurus alike. So, what’s so special about drinking a bit of apple cider vinegar a day? In this article, we take a closer look—as well as examine how blending apple cider vinegar and Manuka honey can take your wellness routine to a whole other level.

The Ancient Elixir: Apple Cider Vinegar

In the stories of our past, apple cider vinegar emerges as an ancient elixir that has been embraced by civilizations for centuries. Around 5000 BC, the Babylonians created the first vinegar using the fruit of a date palm. Vinegar residues have also been found in Ancient Egyptian urns from 3000 BC. Originally, the goal was merely to preserve food.

Yet, in more recent recorded history, vinegar was used to flavor foods and as a medicine for various illnesses.

In fact, apple cider vinegar has been used for removing toxins, regulating blood sugar levels, improving digestion, and burning fat—benefits that are still believed by many today but supported by only small amounts of evidence.

Yet, vinegar and honey were first thought to be combined by the Greek physician Hippocrates. Often called “The Father of Modern Medicine,” Hippocrates prescribed apple cider vinegar and honey for many illnesses, including common coughs and colds.

Today, honey and apple cider vinegar are both used to promote overall wellness. So, how does Manuka honey support overall health? How can Manuka honey and apple cider vinegar combined promote wellness?

Manuka Honey: Nature's Sweet Gift to Wellness

Originating from the nectar of the New Zealand Manuka tea tree, Manuka honey is renowned for its rich flavor and its potent beneficial nutrients. It’s not just a sweet treat but a golden liquid that can support immune function, digestion, and overall wellness.

Methylglyoxal (MGO), one of the most potent nutrients in Manuka honey, has powerful antibacterial properties. Meanwhile, leptosperin, another nutrient in Manuka honey, offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This type of honey further contains probiotics which support digestive health.

It’s the presence of these compounds that make Manuka honey famous across the globe and within various wellness circles. In every spoonful, it offers the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess, as well as potent and beneficial nutrients.

Blending Apple Cider Vinegar and Manuka Honey

The zesty, sharp, and bitter notes of apple cider vinegar intertwine with the sweet, nurturing embrace of Manuka honey, creating the perfect synergy and addition to any wellness routine. Ideally, these two are mixed with warm water for a glass full of beneficial nutrients.

Apple cider vinegar is shown to support regular blood sugar levels. Meanwhile, Manuka honey can promote good digestion and immune function.

While combining these two can offer a balanced approach to your daily wellness regime, it’s important to note that neither cures disease or illness. Instead, it’s all about adding healthy additions to your existing lifestyle that can elevate your health now and into the future.
