Vinegar has been used to cure and prevent a variety of
ailments for centuries. As early as the time of Hippocrates,
considered by many to be the father of medicine, vinegar was
used to treat patients. During the Civil War, it was used as
an antiseptic. What makes it so special and why should you use
it?
Apples are one of the most nutritious, health-giving foods
available, containing a host of vitamins and minerals like
pectin, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, phosphorous and
potassium in addition to enzymes and amino acids. Apples are
the main ingredient in apple cider vinegar.
Apple cider vinegar detoxifies and purifies various organs
in the body. As a purifier, it breaks down fatty, mucous and
phlegm deposits within the body. By breaking down these
substances, it improves the health and function of organs such
as the kidneys, bladder, and liver.
It oxidizes the blood, reducing the risk of high blood
pressure, and neutralizes any toxic substance or harmful
bacteria that enters the body by ingesting certain foods.
Apple cider vinegar promotes healthy digestion, assimilation
and elimination.
Research has proven that apple cider vinegar can assist in
strengthening the heart, stabilizing blood sugar and reducing
the risk of certain cancers. It flushes harmful toxins from
your body and assists in weight control.
Try drinking two to six teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
with water every day. It can also be used in cooking or
sprinkled on salads, vegetables, etc. You can drink it as a
hot or cold beverage and sweeten it with honey.
CONDITIONS THAT CAN BE TREATED WITH APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
There are many common ailments and conditions that can be
treated by using apple cider vinegar. A few of them are listed
below:
*Arthritis - In addition to drinking vinegar with water
every day, you can also soak the arthritic area in a hot
solution of vinegar and water (half a cup of vinegar to three
cups of water). If you cannot soak the area, you can make a
poultice soaked in the vinegar and water solution and wrap it
around the area. When it cools, soak again, wring out, and
apply again.
*Cancer - Apple cider vinegar cannot cure cancer, however,
because of its antioxidant properties, it neutralizes free
radicals (Free radicals can severely damage our cells, leading
to aging and cancer.), reducing the risk of various cancers.
The vinegar also contains pectin, a high fiber ingredient,
resulting in a reduction of colon cancer risk.
*Constipation – Adding fiber to our diet (present in the
pectin in apple cider vinegar), increases our body’s ability
to have regular bowel movements, thus eliminating harmful
toxins from our body.
*High blood pressure - The potassium in apple cider vinegar
can be beneficial to both the heart and blood pressure by
helping to make the blood thinner, resulting in a reduction of
high blood pressure.
*Weight loss – You cannot lose weight without a properly
working metabolism. If the food you eat is not metabolized
efficiently, the nutrients from the food will not be
accessible, resulting in excess weight gain. Apple cider
vinegar detoxifies the body and helps the digestion process,
resulting in a highly efficient metabolism that burns the fat
instead of adding it to your body.
The suggestions listed above are just a small sampling of
the many uses for apple cider vinegar. Before spending your
hard-earned money for expensive medicines to treat various
non-life threatening ailments, try using apple cider vinegar.
It is cheap and easy to use.
