Take a shot and detox

I don't know about you but I am in full detox mode from the holidays. I've been helping my body recover from late nights, lots of processed food and wine with my new favorite shot. Nope...it's not that kind of shot (the pointy or alcoholy one) but a health shot. Check it out: in this one big gulp of awesome, you get benefits like blood sugar stabilization, balanced pH in your gut, lower blood pressure, a boost in antioxidants and antioxidant absorption, and increased metabolism...amazing, right? Fair warning-it's going to be like you're taking some kinda of questionable, burning shot like you did at the bars in college...but it's totally worth it-you'll get the opposite of a hangover! If you  want to know more about the amazing healthy benefits of each ingredient...click on them.

What you need:

• 1-2 TBSP apple cider vinegar (IMPORTANT: must be organic, raw and unfiltered...I use Braggs)
• 1-2 TBSP lemon juice
• 1-2 TBSP water
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground tumeric
• 1 dash cayenne pepper

What you do:

1. Mix all the ingredients...if you would rather sip it as a tea or a drink, feel free to add more water...I prefer to shoot it
2. Take the shot
3. Drink lots of water right after...kinda like a water chaser
4. Repeat up the three times a day before meals...like 10-20 minutes before eating

Bottoms up!
