The colds and flu are on us so 1. Stay Adjusted, 2. Eat Right, 3. Take your Supplements, 4. Get solid Rest. If you have the flu or suffer from sore throat, but don’t want to overdose on useless cough syrup, turn to apple cider vinegar. Mix one teaspoon apple cider vinegar, one teaspoon cayenne pepper and three teaspoons clover honey in a glass of warm water for an easy elixir. All three ingredients will work together to help you heal. Apple cider vinegar and honey have antibacterial and viral properties, and the capsaicin in hot peppers helps alleviate pain. If that sore throat is due to flu or allergies, apple cider vinegar packs an extra punch, since it also breaks up mucous and sinus congestion.
