Pokud jste to v posledních dnech přehnali s jídlem či alkoholem, možná už pociťujete únavu, těžkost nebo podráždění trávení. Právě teď je ideální čas dát svému tělu přírodní vzpruhu. Tradiční bylinkář Momčilo Antonijević radí využít dvě levné a běžně dostupné suroviny, které má většina lidí doma – honey a apple cider vinegar. Tento jednoduchý nápoj nejenže uleví přetíženým játrům, ale zároveň podpoří healthy heart and blood vessels.
Honey and apple cider vinegar – jednoduchý recept pro zdraví
Podle bylinkáře stačí do sklenice vlažné vody přidat jednu čajovou lžičku medu a jednu čajovou lžičku nefiltrovaného jablečného octa. Tento nápoj se doporučuje pít po celý rok, nejen po bujarých večírcích.
„Apple cider vinegar and honey are great for our liver, gallbladder, blood vessels and are also recommended for people with elevated cholesterol and triglycerides,“ vysvětluje Antonijević.

Sauerkraut brine
Cabbage juice is an excellent way to rehydrate the body and provide important electrolytes. It contains natural probiotics, vitamin C and even vitamin B12 – which is often difficult for vegans to obtain. Sauerkraut thus strengthens not only digestion but also the immune system.
Mistletoe
It helps reduce high blood pressure and regulate the heart rhythm. However, caution is required – mistletoe must not be taken long-term and is not suitable for pregnant women and children.
Milk thistle
It is among the best-known herbs for liver regeneration. It contains the compound silymarin, which supports the renewal of liver cells. It works best when ground and mixed with yogurt or whey – milk thistle tea is not as effective.
Spices with healing power
Garlic, ginger and cinnamon support blood circulation, digestion and have anti-inflammatory effects. However, it is good to avoid artificial flavor enhancers and refined fats.
Mint and lemon balm
After a heavy meal, a cup of mint tea is better than a sweet soda. In combination with lemon balm it relieves nausea and headaches. A mixture with meadowsweet, a plant containing natural salicylates, is even more effective.
How to incorporate this drink into your daily routine
For maximum effect, drink the honey and apple cider vinegar mixture every morning on an empty stomach. Drink a glass of lukewarm water with both ingredients at least 20 minutes before breakfast. This will help the body kick-start the metabolism, cleanse the liver and prepare the digestive system for the whole day.
Conclusion
Natural remedies can be simple, inexpensive and yet incredibly effective. The combination of honey and apple cider vinegar is a proven recipe for supporting the liver, a healthy heart and blood vessels. Add the other recommended foods and herbs to that and your body will thank you with increased energy, better digestion and overall vitality.
