Good for What Ails ya!

My Mother had suggested this to me quite sometime ago.  She tells me still at age 95, that she "just takes a swig of it each day".  I cannot manage a swig au naturel but mixes it with some honey & go for it.  I had gotten out of the habit, but I know it did indeed work so I will start "swigging" again...

"Apple cider vinegar is a combination that many use when they're
trying to drop a few pounds. What you might not know is that this sweet
and sour combo is a remedy for many conditions of the body. A Dr.
D.C. Jarvis wrote in his book Folk Medicine that inhabitants of
Vermont were known to use apple cider vinegar for various ailments
of the body. Jarvis was among the first to strongly recommend a
dosage for relief of arthritis, to lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
Others believe it helps to destroy infections, assist in digestion,
maintain memory, and protect the mind from aging.

The wide-range effects of apple-cider vinegar can be attributed to
its abundance of nutrients. Complete with many vitamins and minerals,
complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber, it helps to attack those
bothersome conditions with its acidic kick.


You can make this magical remedy at home by crushing apples and
squeezing out the liquid. Sugar and yeast are then added to the
liquid to start the fermentation process. The first stage turns it
into alcohol but resist the temptation and continue the
fermentation until the acetic acid-forming bacteria converts the
alcohol into vinegar. If that's too much then just simply pick up
apple cider vinegar at your local health food store. Be weary,
however, of marketing companies that have mixed various other
ingredients that they allege are "all natural" when in fact they're
mixed with a ton of unhealthy unnatural chemicals that lack any
real influence on the effect of apple cider vinegar".
