Some Great Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits You May Not Know About

There is a veritable plethora of known apple cider vinegar benefits. Since around the period of Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician and acknowledged father of modern medicine, it has been used as a remedy to heal and energize. This gives the substance a long pedigree from a reputable source and thus it is safe to say that it is not just more “snake oil” sold by some shyster. If Hippocrates can maintain his reputation for 2400 years, he must have known what he was talking about.

Among the many benefits of this remarkable tonic, here are a few different uses for apple cider vinegar to consider.

The acidic nature of this vinegar, make it an excellent anti bacterial and thus great for sore throats and sinus infections. It is also a good remedy for halitosis sufferers for this reason. All you do is mix a tablespoon in some water and gargle for a few seconds.

The reason Hippocrates considered it an energizing substance is that apple cider vinegar tends to speed up the metabolism or the energy producing processes of the body. In other words it helps to stimulate the body’s use of body fat and muscle sugar or glycogen to create ATP, adenosine triphosphate, the main energy storage and transfer molecule for most organisms. Thus it has the same effect, albeit at a much lower intensity as exercise and can also contribute to weight loss. However be warned; use it to compliment your exercise habits, not replace them. It isn’t a magical weight loss pill. It’s just an aid that can help your current efforts, which include both a healthy diet and exercise.

In its purest, most unrefined form with a pH level of 5 to 7 apple cider vinegar can also adjust the acidity or pH level of one’s skin; killing off odor causing bacteria. It will thus also benefit acne problems as these are also a result of bacteria.

Since the pectin from apples is also present in the vinegar, this tonic also helps with problems such as diarrhea as pectin forms a protective coating along the colon. Pectin, which is a gelling agent and acts on the digestive system in the same way as dietary fiber, is also beneficial as a digestive aid when one is suffering from constipation.

One can safely say that this is a truly remarkable, multi-use tonic. However, remember to get this product in as raw and unrefined a form as possible. That way you will be able to maximize your apple cider vinegar benefits and get value for your money.

The health benefits of apple cider vinegar have undergone an explosive revival, due to a new understanding of this age old home remedy. Now that several high quality apple cider vinegar products are readily available at most health food stores, many people have given testimony to how it has helped them.

Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits #1 – Fibromyalgia and CFS
Apple cider vinegar contains a nutrient called malic acid. A study conducted by the Department of Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center, divided participants into two groups. During a period of six months, one half were given a daily dose of 1,200 mg of malic acid with 300mg of magnesium, the other half were given a placebo. Amazingly, the group that were given the malic acid and magnesium achieved a significant reduction of their symptoms. They reported less pain, less muscle stiffness and subsequently a positive improvement in their outlook. Equally as important, no negative side effects were experienced.

Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits #2 – Toxic Metal Detoxification
Malic acid is also beneficial for protecting us from toxic metals. It is a chelator – this means that it is able to bind with toxic metals such as aluminium and lead and turn them into a more benign form. This helps protect our cells and allows the liver to filter them safely so they can be eliminated from the body.

Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits #3 – Alkalinity
Helping us to become less acidic is another health benefit of apple cider vinegar. It contains ash – an alkalizing substance. The benefits of becoming less acidic are substantial and numerous and include reduced risk of developing cancers, arthritis, heart diseases and other diseases. The benefits of juicing are also a great way to become less acidic.

Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits #4 – Diabetes and Blood Sugar
One small study shows evidence that the health benefits of apple cider vinegar includes lowering blood sugar. Participants ate a high glycemic breakfast comprised of a bagel, a glass of orange juice and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. They experienced a 50% less spike in blood sugar as opposed to eating the same breakfast without the vinegar. In the same study, similar results were noted when eating a meal of chicken and rice, with or without the vinegar. Although not yet conclusive, this benefit is considered to be a result of the ‘acetic acid’ found in apple cider vinegar. It is theorized that it either helps by hindering the enzymes that break down starch and sugars, or increases the rate at which glucose is absorbed from the blood stream into the muscles.

Final Note
It is important to get a high quality Apple Cider Vinegar to reap these benefits. The clear distilled apple cider vinegar commonly found in supermarkets is lacking a lot of the nutrition found in the original vinegar. The best quality comes from organic cold pressed apples, with no added anything. It should not be pasteurized or filtered in any way – this will leave the ‘mother’ intact. The ‘mother’ is a nutritious natural gelatinous substance produced during the final stages of fermentation.
