I do CrossFit\u00ae five times a week, attend yoga class regularly, frequent local health food joints, and fire up a meditation app during my morning subway commute.<\/p>\n<p>My morning ritual, though, is as far from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yoga_girl\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@yoga_girl<\/a>\u2019s or <a href=\"https:\/\/gabbybernstein.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gabby Bernstein<\/a>\u2019s as it can be. It usually starts with me hitting \u2018snooze\u2019 five times followed by 10 minutes spent mindlessly scrolling through Instagram before I finally trudge over to the fridge and pour myself a mason jar-full of cold brew coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Then I crawl right back into bed with my laptop to start some work before finally getting up, washing my face, making some breakfast, and heading to yoga.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, it\u2019s not like I\u2019m eating a box of munchkins every morning, but in the era of A.M. meditation, gratitude journaling, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/04\/27\/30-days-turmeric-golden-milk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">turmeric lattes<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/22\/vital-proteins-superfood-smoothie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collagen smoothies<\/a>, I often wonder if my morning ritual could be doing a little more for me.

That\u2019s because of its purported ability to boost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/digestion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digestion<\/a>, support a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/healthy-weight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">healthy weight<\/a>, and amplify your glow from the inside out.

I was about to find out. I bought myself a big \u2018ole bottle of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/b\/bragg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bragg apple cider vinegar<\/a>, imagining that with every sip of the pungent stuff I\u2019d feel more invigorated, digest like the wind, and move one step closer to \u2018Gabby Bernstein\u2019 status.<\/p>\n<p>I vowed to start each day for two weeks straight with apple cider vinegar to decide if it was for me\u2014and the results were a bit surprising.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>I Confirmed That No One Should Take Shots Of ACV<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I played rugby in college, so I spent most of my time doing sprints, not shots. I never really liked the taste of alcohol, anyway, and as I became even more dedicated to fitness after graduation, I didn\u2019t want drinking get in the way of my gains.<\/p>\n<p>That said, as much I\u2019d like to say that I waltzed into my kitchen on morning number-one and flawlessly threw back a shot of ACV, that\u2019s not quite how it went. I poured a few teaspoons of ACV into a glass, but before I could even attempt to drink it the aggressive odor of vinegar practically punched me in the face. So, I totally chickened out, pinched my nose with my free hand, and spent the next five minutes taking baby sips of the stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Once I finally got it all down, though, something magical happened: I felt <em>instantly <\/em>awake. (And, to get the eye-watering taste out of my mouth, I brushed my teeth before my morning cup of coffee for the first time ever.)<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17016\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/drink-apple-cider-vinegar-every-morning\/selfie-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?fit=2320%2C2888&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2320,2888\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"2.2","credit":"","camera":"iPhone 7 Plus","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1510870999","copyright":"","focal_length":"2.87","iso":"125","shutter_speed":"0.033333333333333","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"selfie 1\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?fit=241%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?fit=740%2C921&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\" wp-image-17016 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?resize=442%2C551&ssl=1\" alt width=\"442\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?w=2320&ssl=1 2320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?resize=241%2C300&ssl=1 241w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?resize=768%2C956&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?resize=823%2C1024&ssl=1 823w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?resize=272%2C339&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?resize=740%2C921&ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?w=1480&ssl=1 1480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?w=2220&ssl=1 2220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17016\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/drink-apple-cider-vinegar-every-morning\/selfie-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?fit=2320%2C2888&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2320,2888\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"2.2","credit":"","camera":"iPhone 7 Plus","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1510870999","copyright":"","focal_length":"2.87","iso":"125","shutter_speed":"0.033333333333333","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"selfie 1\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?fit=241%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?fit=740%2C921&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\" wp-image-17016 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20442%20551%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"442\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20442%20551%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?w=2320&ssl=1 2320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?resize=241%2C300&ssl=1 241w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?resize=768%2C956&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?resize=823%2C1024&ssl=1 823w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?resize=272%2C339&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?resize=740%2C921&ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?w=1480&ssl=1 1480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg?w=2220&ssl=1 2220w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/selfie-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Since the whole shot thing clearly wasn\u2019t going to work for me, I decided to dilute my ACV in water. (Lots of non-shot-takers mix their vinegar into water, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-natural-remedies\/herbal-teas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tea<\/a>, or seltzer\u2014sometimes adding a little <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/superfoods-groceries\/superfoods\/honey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">honey<\/a> and fresh lemon to help the stuff go down easier.) For the remaining 13 days, I either poured two teaspoons of ACV into my water bottle and downed it bit by bit throughout the morning, or splurged on a Bragg\u2019s ginger apple cider vinegar drink, which dilutes the ACV and balances it out with ginger spice and a bit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/superfoods-groceries\/ingredients-other-dry-goods\/natural-sweeteners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stevia<\/a>. Toning down the kick of the vinegar made my new morning routine much more tolerable.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>I Felt Healthy As A Horse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If I do say so myself, I have a <em>quality<\/em> immune system. I haven\u2019t gotten sick\u2014like \u2018can\u2019t get out of bed\u2019 sick\u2014in years. But I\u2019d like to think that my morning apple cider vinegar, which I started sipping during the height of cold and flu season, helped keep my system strong and my body able to work out twice a day without feeling rundown.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Things Got A Little Stinky <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By \u2018things,\u2019 I mean my bodily fluids. Within five hours of my first shot, I noticed my urine smelled a bit like asparagus. And when I hit the gym or got sweaty in yoga class, the smell that oozed from my armpits\u2014and everywhere else that sweats\u2014was equally off. The acidic stench (a potent combination of vinegar and feet) burned my nose. I barely let myself breathe while doing downward-facing dog and child\u2019s pose. By day three, I learned to be extra generous with my deodorant before doing anything remotely active.<\/p>\n<p>And look, I know a vagina isn\u2019t supposed to smell like a field of daisies and that it\u2019s normal to smell a little different depending on where you\u2019re at in your cycle, what you ate, or how much you\u2019re sweating\u2014but when I started drinking ACV, <em>boy<\/em> did I notice a change. A little concerned, I called my gyno to fill her in on the situation. She said that introducing such an acidic food into my pretty consistent diet may have thrown off my pH, and that my vagina was likely adjusting to the change. Interestingly though, she also mentioned that since ACV is so acidic, it can help mitigate some bacteria overgrowth\u2014a major vagina win. At the end of the two weeks, though, I was still a bit smelly, waiting for my body to adjust.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>My Digestion Felt The Difference<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>My digestive system typically moves pretty quickly\u2014or quickly enough that I poop three or four times a day. I\u2019m a creature of habit and nosh on pretty much the same healthy eats every day: oatmeal for breakfast, salad with chicken for lunch, ground turkey with kale for dinner, an absurd amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/superfoods-groceries\/ingredients-other-dry-goods\/nut-butters-spreads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">peanut butter<\/a> for dessert, and two apples and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/superfoods-groceries\/drinks\/protein-drinks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">protein shake<\/a> whenever I need a snack. I also faithfully take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/digestion\/probiotics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">probiotic<\/a> every night before bed\u2014so my system knows what\u2019s up. But when I first added ACV to the equation, something weird happened: I couldn\u2019t <em>go<\/em>. I spent the first two days sitting on the toilet willing my body to do its thing\u2014but nothing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/nutritionreviews\/article-abstract\/68\/8\/439\/1841926?redirectedFrom=fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Google<\/a> told me that drinking an extra cup or two of water might help get things moving, so on day three I vowed to drink tons of water in hopes of easing what was now straight-up discomfort. Much to my relief, I went to the bathroom after yoga, then again after lunch, and then a third time right before CrossFit.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"

experiment\u2014and it kept me going two or three times a day. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1785201\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Some research<\/a> suggests that the acids in ACV slow the activity of certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/digestion\/enzymes\/digestive-enzymes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digestive enzymes<\/a>, which can delay stomach emptying, explaining why my usually-hyper-speedy digestive system acted a little differently.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The ACV Checked My Appetite<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Every morning after downing my morning vinegar, I felt <em>really <\/em>full (and bloated) for a couple of hours. I\u2019m an avid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/30\/how-much-kombucha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kombucha<\/a> drinker, so I was no stranger to this full sensation, though. Suddenly I understood the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16321601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research<\/a> around how drinking ACV can cause people to eat fewer calories.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually I forced myself to eat some breakfast\u2014I had to fuel my afternoon workout, after all\u2014but I didn\u2019t actually feel hungry until around lunchtime!<\/p>\n<p>My post-ACV full-and-bloated sensation stuck around for the full two weeks. Moving forward, if I\u2019m going to inflate for a few hours, I think I\u2019d rather it be from a deliciously fizzy bottle of kombucha instead of ACV, though.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>My Skin Looked The Same<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Throughout my apple cider vinegar experiment, I regularly rocked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/natural-beauty-skin\/facial-care\/masks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mud masks<\/a> and chugged extra water (partially just to wash the vinegary burn out of my mouth)\u2014so if my face looked extra glow-y, I can\u2019t say it was thanks to the ACV. I\u2019m sure the extra antioxidants the ACV offered didn\u2019t do my complexion any harm, though!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>So, Will I Continue?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>My experiment definitely brought ACV\u2019s very-real effects to life.

I called my go-to nutritionist <a href=\"http:\/\/kerigansnutrition.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keri Gans<\/a>, M.S., R.D.N., who recommended using ACV in salad dressings\u2014which is how I\u2019ll be reaping the benefits of this golden liquid from now on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/01\/09\/apple-cider-vinegar-uses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>14 Practical (And Unexpected!)
