I would like to share with you about Apple Cider Vinegar.

Vinegar is amazing and it has been around in some form or another for centuries. It is all natural, non toxic, healthy and all around useful.

The uses for Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) are mind boggling, and it seems you hear of another use for it on a regular basis. I always have a bottle of it in the kitchen cabinet.

However a jug of cheaper white vinegar, is very handy in the laundry room as well.

It has served an important role as a food preservative, condiment, cleaning agent, beauty aid and an amazing health enhancer.

Good for you ACV!

Types of Vinegar

Vinegar has been made from dates, rice, grapes, barley, coconuts, pineapple, molasses, sorghum, maple syrup, melons, beets, potatoes and different types of wine.

I'm sure there are more, but you get the idea that there are a lot of different types. But by far, apple cider vinegar is considered the most nutritious.

The best Apple Cider Vinegar to buy is natural, unfiltered and preferably organic, with the mother, which is an important ingredient in Apple Cider Vinegar.

Make your vinegar health boost
a little more flavorful.

If you are one of those who are also, not fond of the straight vinegar taste and need more flavor, here is an easy way to solve that.

You can add a whole variety of juices:

• grape,
  
• pomegranate,
  
• apple or apple cider,
  
• orange as previously mentioned.

Then there are other different flavors and spices can be added such as:

• ginger,
•  lemon,
  
• cinnamon,
  
• honey and/or Stevia
  
• green tea or a
  
• dash of red pepper can be thrown in as well. 

Also, it doesn't take a lot of apple cider vinegar. I use about a Tablespoon in a 16 oz. glass, not quite full.  I like it a bit more diluted.v

Apple Cider Vinegar
and
Weight loss

ACV can make it more pleasant to get on the scales!

Two of our daughters lost weight with ACV. They made it into a tonic of 1 Tablespoon of ACV and 1 Tablespoon of honey to a glass of water.

Heating the water up, makes it more like a hot tea and the honey seems to dissolve and dissipate into it better.

Folk medicine has said that just a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water before each meal will melt away pounds. So if you prefer a milder taste, try a teaspoon instead.

They started with a Tablespoon measure and just stuck with it, no adverse affects were felt.

Apple Cider Vinegar
and Body Care

If you are looking for a natural and healthy way to treat your skin and hair, ACV is it.

I use it as a hair rinse with any shampoo I use and it makes my hair silky and shiny.  I have gray hair so some products I can't use because it turns my hair yellowish or dull.  But apple cider vinegar never does. 

I keep a large cup and a bottle of ACV in the shower.  For a final rinse pour about 1/2 -1 Tablespoon's worth in the bottom of the cup.  Then fill it the rest of the away with water from the shower.  Always dilute the vinegar.

I pour it over my hair and let it run over my face as well I work it into my hair and  rub it into my skin. It's only necessary to leave it on for a few minutes, then rinse it out. 

Allowing the vinegar water to run over your body is healing for your skin as well.

Here are some benefits or claims others have made when using ACV for a hair rinse.  I have experienced all of these.

They may include:

• Cleanses the hair of hair product used and oil buildup
• Restores shine and protects color
• Adds volume, relieves itching and dandruff
• Encourages hair growth

Apple Cider Vinegar
and Health

Apple Cider Vinegar is full of nutrition, vitamins, trace elements and minerals including phosphorus, potassium, chloride, magnesium, sulfur, calcium and iron. Additional healthy enzymes and amino acids are gained during the fermentation process.

For generations families have used ACV to help remedy a wide variety of ailments, it has been believed to be close to a cure all for many.

According to Earl L. Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D., "Taking a teaspoon in a half cup of water two or three times a day when a cold is coming on, can help rebalance pH levels, warding off the cold. Because the right pH levels are needed for good health."

Vinegar remains as one of the most ancient and versatile medicinal mainstays the world has ever known.

Now you can even take your ACV in capsule form, which is much easier if you just can't do the vinegar flavor.

Out of eight of the most popular types of vinegar, apple cider vinegar is the one that reigns supreme, for its medicinal and healing value.
