Wouldn’t it be just so easy if we could just take something in the morning like a pill or a drink that would get rid or our cellulite? Well surprise there is such a beast and I am going to tell you all about it.
This drink is so simple and used to be as common as milk - well as far as morning drinks go anyway. You most likely have heard of it and perhaps you remember some distant Aunt telling you about it, sprooking the benefits as you wiped it off as an old wives take. One thing I undertook years ago was investigating many wives tales as my Mother is full of them and this is one of the better ones let me tell you.
It doesn’t have a name, I just call it the ACV and honey drink. Drink it every morning whether you are cleansing or not. It is the best way to start the day. Simply mix it into boiled water - the exact recipe and more details are available as a free download on my website. But before you know how to make it let me run you through the why, as once you know the why you will be self motivated to drink it as you will understand and want the benefits.
Let’s talk about honey. Honey is sweet, yummy, good looking and is one of God’s nectars, and is absolutely PACKED FULL of antioxidants. There has been a lot of talk about antioxidants; we have been told by the medical experts that they are good for us but sometimes we forget why, because when we read about them it can seem so complicated that it is easy to forget. So I am going to tell you about antioxidants in a way that I understand them and I hope this will help you understand them too. Remember knowledge is power and you can utilize this power to benefit yourself.
Let’s start with a simple ABC
A - Cells consist of molecules.
B - Molecules consist of atoms.
C - Atoms consist of a nucleus, neutrons, protons, and electrons.
OK, so far so good.
Now, electrons are required to keep the atom stable. If the atom doesn’t have enough of their own electrons, they will actually share electrons with other atoms. (Isn’t that sweet?). To share the electrons, atoms don’t split electrons in half, but instead bond themselves together, enabling them to literally share electrons to ensure they maintain stability.
If this bond is weak and splits it becomes a Free Radical which is a loose or unbalanced atom or molecule.
Free radicals will attack the nearest unstable atom to steal it’s electron, thereby turning that atom into a free radical as well, and so on it goes, and eventually this vicious cycle will destroy the entire living cell!
Not all free radicals are bad, though. Free radicals are sometimes created by our body’s immune system to fight bacteria and viruses. But sometimes they are spawned from pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke, and herbicides.
Antioxidants can stop the free radicals from stealing electrons from other atoms, as they are able to donate to the atoms one of their own electrons. They are little sweet, too. Ironically, often antioxidant-containing foods are sweet, such as berries and honey.
So now I hope you understand a little better that we need to always have antioxidants available within our systems to supply electrons to atoms (when they are needed to stabilise atoms) and in turn keeping your cells alive.
So there you have it, a simple yet effective cellulite banishing drink to set you up for a healthy cellulite free life that you can start your day with every day.

Oh my goodness you are right! I recently launched the new version of my site and neglected to add some things, thanks so much for this prompting reminder! Recipe is simple. Use equal parts of honey and apple cider vinegar and top with hot water. Using a soup spoon fill with Apple Cider Vinegar and pour into a large mug or cup. Then pour honey onto the same spoon until full and drop the spoon into the cup. Then top with hot water. Apple cider vinegar is like wine, you get can get ones aged in oak and the better the quality the better the taste. And the darker the better. The very pale yellow ones don’t taste as good and are harsh on the palate. At first you may find the tartness of the vinegar too much for pleasant morning drinking so start with smaller amounts of vinegar and build up. Most people take to it quite well and love it, others not, it is just a matter of taste really and those that can’t stand it replace the vinegar with freshly squeezed lemon. Thanks again, Bronwyn
