Healing Power of Apple Cider Vinegar
74Now after all the Holiday party and all the food, maybe we should start thinking again of our health and how to restore it.
As for me I really prefer natural stuff for my body, one of my favorite and which really work for me is APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.
Apple cider vinegar cure more ailments than the expensive medicine, plus I don't have to worry about harmful side effects.
Among the ailments where ACV is very helpful are: High Cholesterol, Flu, Chronic Fatigue, Candida, Acid Reflux, Sore Throat, Arthritis, Contact Dermatitis, Allergies(food, insect, and environmental), High Blood Pressure, Poor Digestion(It Speed up metabolism), Ugly complexion, Premature Aging and a lot more.
At first I couldn't take the taste of ACV because they told me to drink it first thing in the morning but then I still do because I heard from a friend that it is really good for constipation. I want to lose some weight also and I have some rashes on my face and neck, so I decided to continue drinking it. Well one thing I've noticed immediately is that my bowel movement became regular even though I don't eat much fiber, my skin is not so itchy anymore, and the rashes is fading. And I found the best time to drink it, I like staying out late, working on my computer I usually sleep around 2am, I always have a glass of water with me when I'm working so I thought, instead of just drinking water why not put ACV with my ice cold water, so I put 2Tablespoon per glass of water(I have a medium size glass) It taste really good, its like drinking lemonade (if you like it sweet you can put honey for added benefits). After drinking that for a few days I've noticed I have a lot of energy even when I stay up so late, I can work more, its really amazing!!! , not to mention that my skin tone improve, well because I'm not longer constipated so I don't retain that toxin on my body which is the cause of my rashes and irritability.
Make sure you buy the organic ACV, the ACV I prefer to buy is the one with a cloudy content on it, the brand I always use is BRAGG. The non organic one has some bad effect because its too acidic. Some ACV in capsule form is more acidic even if their label tell that is only 5% acidity level so the best thing is to try one teaspoon first and see how your body will respond. Another thing is you have a sensitive teeth its better for you to drink ACV and water using a straw.
Apples are allowed to ferment and this fermented fruit acid, which is loaded with pectin and minerals like potassium, chlorine, magnesium, sodium and calcium. In addition it contains vitamins and beta-carotene. In fact experiments have proved that it contains carbolic acids, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and acetates also. It is no wonder than that the health benefits of apple cider vinegar are infinite. Pectin in the apples is a fiber, which attaches itself to cholesterol globules, and when combined with the herb centella aids in getting rid of bad cholesterol and helps in regulating blood pressure.
The potassium present in apple cider vinegar is vital because it helps to remove the excess water and also the toxic waste. The excess of sodium is also drawn out and it helps to regulate blood pressure. Calcium, which is important for the bones and for combating osteoporosis, is an important constituent of apple cider vinegar. The beta carotene actually is supposed to help people to retain their youth longer as it counters effectively the damage made by free radicals.
Apple Cider Vinegar also breaks down fat and is widely used to lose weight. The malic acid and acetic acid present help to combat fungal and bacterial infections and relieves painful joints. The malic acid dissolves the deposits of uric acid, which form around the joints, and slowly pushes the acid deposits out of the body. It seems to even have some effect on viruses. The amino acids present in apple cider vinegar act as an antibiotic and an antiseptic. It has been known to drastically reduce the toxicity in the body.
Lets all drink Apple Cider Vinegar and Stay Young and Healthy!!!

Great info Len. I've actually used ACV to lower my blood pressure. It really works, but you have to be careful because it can acutally lower it so much you pass out. Powerful stuff.
Thank you that you find my site informative, I have a low blood pressure because I always sleep late, and at night I always drink a glass of wate with about 1 or 2 tbsp of ACV, I can feel it is helping me.
Ps: Too much of anything is always bad :)
Have a nice day
Thanks for the information.
Hi Len, thanks for taking the time to write this terrific Hub. I also use APC. I keep it in the refrigerator because it seems to go down better cold. I also heard of people washing their hair with APC. Do you know anything about this?
Nice one Len, live in Love & Joy!
hey thanks for the info.. i wanna lose weight and i'll try it
Cool post! Very informative!
Thanks! Very informative!
Great post! I have to learn more about that.
It's great! Very intresting!
Great post! Very informative!
Awesome! It's good to be broad-minded.
Great info- How much ACV did you drink per day to notice weight loss? And how much weight did you lose overall?
Hey, good information, I have a bit of supplemental information on my site. I drink ACV often but be warned that there are good bottles of ACV and bad ones. The bad ones don't do much but the good ones are amazing.
Great information. I am not sure if I can stomach the taste, but your suggestion of putting it in a glass of water and adding honey may do the trick.
I read your article and went and bought some ACV for my digestion problems. And to help lose some weight, too. I found if you use pure Stevia instead of honey, it mixes nicely! I take it now first thing instead of coffee, know that's bound to help right there! And I'm actually enjoying the tarty taste! Thanks!
Cool site Len
An excellent way of representation regarding all the topics you deal.
I liked this too.
I have Graves disease, I noticed after drinking apple cider vinegar (BRATTS) I am a lot calmer. I read about ACV on another site, earthclinic,com and I love looking for new info. I found this site, and thought I'd share, now I'm waiting to see if it lowers my HBP.
Thanks gazillions!

I had no idea that Apple Cider Vinegar could do all that. Nice article...
i have heard on the radio that to hv a beautiful complexion, you can add 2 spoonful of vinegar (any cooking vinegar) to a bowl of water to wash your face. Have u tried this? ACV is also a cooking vinegar. I tried once but my face smell of vinegar even after i rinse it. Ha ha
i'm going to use ACV too, it's BRAGG. I dont know how far it's good for me....
but i'm willing to try for it........a natural way ......
Wow, never heard of this, sounds like it is worth a try
How much apple cidar vinegar should i drink a day to help me lose weight?
Great information. After reading your article, I tried it and have been losing an average of a pound a day. I eat an average 1500 calories a day, drink lots of water throughout the entire day and drink a glass of vinegar water three times a day...before larger meals. The vinegar water is only one teaspoon vinegar to 8oz. water. I eat 6 times a day. Before snacks i drink lime juice with stevia diluted in 8oz. water. No sugar or flour... only one slice of Sprouted grain bread twice a day and old fashioned oatmeal sweetened with unsweeted applesauce for breakfast . Lots of fruits, vegetables...limited nuts, eggs and tuna. I read labels on everything to make sure no sugar is added! Thanks again...will try rinsing face with acv next.
I love the amazing power of vinegar but hate the taste!, is there any substitutes for its powerful properties?
There is apple cider vinegar in capsule form....but I prefer the liquid form, if you can't take the taste you can put honey.
Thank You for reading my article. :)
Well I just took my first sip of ACV and let me tell you it burned worse than a shot of tequila! However I will finish this cup of it if it does all you say, my bottle says it has 5% acid is that to much? I dont want to burn a whole in my stomach I have enough of those already lol!
THIS IS HOW YOU WRITE. WELL DONE!
I definitely cant stand the taste,even if I did add honey so ill have to check out the capsule options you mentioned although Ive never heard of these before, anyway .. thanks len;)
Very useful and informative

Yes, I agree ACV helps my digestive discomforts -- gas and indigestion. Elders in both my mother and father's family use to make their own batches. I haven't had homemade ACV in many many years.
I will try
I started drinking ACV when someone told me it reduces acidity in the body. I had been suffering from plantar fascitis, bone spurs in the heels, and was told that a diet high in sugar would increase the acidity and and set the stage for calcium deposits. After drinking it every morning for just a month the pain in my heels went away. Your article described even more benefits than I was aware of. I have made ACV part of my daily regimen.
Thanks for the information. I have been taking 2 tablespoons of ACV every day, for years. Not only is it good for the ailments you mentioned, it is also a great way to help diabetics control their blood sugar. Looks as if we all should be taking ACV for some reason. A friend of mine says it even helps stop migraine headaches.
i just start to take the acv in my water how quick will it start to work
i just start to take the acv in my water how quick will it start to work...
Whenever my eyes hurt and I experience a headache once i drink water w/ acv the pain disappear in less than an hour.
I've been using ACV for years and it is one supplement I always have on hand. When I have been doing intense physical work all day and I take ACV in a can of lemon flavored cabonated water, I feel rejuvenated. It is one of the few products that work so well. The taste gets a ittle getting used to but I always make my ACV "cocktail" when I feel tired but need to get something done.
Great info!
I have to share this: my Dad was a big believer in ACV and used to make us all drink it (with honey) when we were growing up. It probably helped; we're very healthy. But one day Dad got the idea that if it was good for people it must be good for animals too. He started feeding it to our pets, including a few ducks we kept in the back yard. After a week, the ducks developed white film over their eyes! Once my Dad stopped force-feeding them vinegar, though, their eyes returned to normal.
Excellent article and very good hub. Thanks
Nice article....THX! I do take ACV and I find it much more palatable to take it mixed in a glass of apple/grape juice. Thanks again for the info!
Another great use for those delicious apples.
Hi, I suffer from acid reflux disease and often take ACV with water and honey for my heartburn.
I saw my aunt this week-end.She is 75 and she looks 50.I asked her what she did to look so young and vibrant and she said that she washed her face in vinegar water. I ran and got some. Hope it works as well for me.
Hey,Len
I have two kids ( 3 and 7 y old )with allergies ( astma ), and constapation .I can't find any information about ACV giving to kids . Can my two little kids also drink ACV and would it work for those major problems too ?I wanna drink it my self too to getrid of some lef over babyfat I just don't know how mutch to drink . Anyway lots of good information in your article
Yes kids can drink acv also,but put some honey there because kids will not like the taste of AVC. Good Day :)
I don't know if it's true but i've heard if you mix avc with water and put it in a eye dropper and put a drop in each eye 2 times a day it improves your vision and also it gets rid of cataracts. Of course there will be a discomfortant for a few minutes.
I have been diagnosed with HBP @ the age of just 35 & my Cholesterol level is 250. i have taken lots of medications since then & i have changed my diet BUT still my BP can shoot to 190/ 110. first time i was measure defore was 240/ 140!!! & the doctor was wondering why I was still standing up. they also have a hard time measuring my my BP & even those digital ones mostly takes two readings.
After reading this, I'll give it a shot & report back to you Len. I wonder where i can get this here in HK.

hi len, i am only 21 years old and i have high blood pressure. most of the time my reading is at 160/90 and sometimes my bottom number reaches 100. i just bought a bottle of Bragg organic apple cider vinegar with 'the mother' and have been taking about 3 tablespoons mixed with water about 3 times a day for about three days. how long do you think it might take to see a change in my blood pressure?
Great info! My husband and I used to take a shot of ACV every morning a few years back, and then got out of the habit. I'm going to start trying this again.
Hi, I would like to know what are the basis of your info to support such claims regarding this article.
Very informative and helpful.

Hi Len,
I've used vinegar on my exzcema. It was recommended by a friend. As a last resort, I tried it, and it worked! I soaked my hand in it for about 15 min. a couple of times per day. It went away in 3 days. I struggled and struggled with it for many years, now it's gone!
Great Information! I have gone through many bottles of Apple Cider Vinegar in the last few years.
Almost everyday for the last year and a half I've been drinking an ounze of apple cider vinegar. I really believe over time it has improved my health. Very good hub!
