Apple cider is a very common thing in everyday life. Cider is actually a type of apple cider. The benefits of drinking cider are that it not only improves digestion and absorption, but also reduces body fat. Not only can cider be consumed immediately, but it can also be served with honey and lemon juice. Cider can be consumed at different times of the year and the actual effects can vary, especially in the summer. Cider tastes great if it is served cold.
When is the best time to drink cider?
After breakfast
Cider has a sour taste and the benefits of drinking cider can have a stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, you should try to drink it after breakfast as much as possible to ward off the cold, especially in the cold winter months.
Eat at noon
Generally speaking, around 2:00 p.m. is the most tiring time of the day. Drinking some apple cider at this time has a very good practical effect on relieving fatigue.
Evening meal
Cider has skin care and beauty benefits, especially in the evening. At night, when the metabolism of vegetable oils is usually at its peak, especially the metabolism of peroxidized fats increases at night, which is a key factor in the aging of skin cells. Therefore, drinking apple cider at night can improve the skin the next day.
Exercise – Binge Eating
Cider can provide a reasonable amount of relief from fatigue, so excessive consumption during exercise can help rejuvenate. After a long period of labor and excessive exercise, the body produces a lot of lactic acid bacteria and people feel very fatigued. Drinking a small bottle of apple cider, for example, can promote metabolic recovery and relieve fatigue.
How to make apple cider
Prepare ingredients in advance: about 500g of apples (preferably red Fuji apples or fragrant apples), about 250g of old rock sugar (white granulated sugar is fine, old rock sugar is best), about 300g of rice wine (white rice wine), about 300g of rice wine (white rice wine)
Practice.
1. Wash the apple, cut into thin slices and peel the skin.
2. Stack apple slices and old rock sugar one layer at a time in a large glass jar to ensure that there is a large gap between each layer. The amount of used icing sugar should be controlled. The amount of old icing sugar should be less than half of the apples, which is actually why I control it myself. (Old icing sugar can easily make polyol, which is also very acidic, but the taste of the apples will be lighter.)
3. Add white wine, seal the glass bottle and place it in a cool place above 20℃ and below 30℃ for 2-6 months. The longer the time, the stronger the flavor.
Warm tip: After the apples are sliced, they will oxidize quickly and fade in the air, so they will be sliced first before preparation. Add as much sugar and apples as possible so that the aroma and sweetness of the apples will come out. The apples will float after adding rice wine, so put them in 2/3 full before adding the wine.
How to drink cider to get the most benefits?
1. Cider can be eaten directly after it has been frozen in the summer for a better taste.
2. For diarrhea, pour 1 tablespoon of cider into 1 cup of warm water (about 50ml) before meals to accelerate endotoxin metabolism and maintain the balance of all normal beneficial bacteria in the digestive system.
3. People who exercise too often are likely to suffer from muscle pain due to the accumulation of lactic acid bacteria. Currently, they can use 1 tablespoon of apple cider and 1 tablespoon of pure honey to make 1 cup of warm water (about 100ml), which can accelerate muscle lactate metabolism and relieve muscle pain.
