  • Apple Cider Vinegar

    anyone else use bragg's apple cider vinegar? i got interested in the stuff to help improve my ph balance. the longer i'm in bodybuilding, the more i think about my health and what i can do to not only optimize my growth but improve my overall quality of life. it seems to be helping rid my skin of acne and reduce indigestion(which i often get while dieting). i've heard of a number of people having good luck using ACV with meals to control insulin and improve fat loss. i dont like the taste so i have mixed it with a small amount of crystal lite.

    heres some info i copied/pasted about it in case its new to you.
    ===============================================


    You’ve probably heard of Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. But, do you know what all the talk is really about?

    This murky brown vinegar, the one with the sediment in the bottom of the bottle, is the vinegar that has been used for hundreds of years largely for medicinal purposes.



    Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is made from nutritious organically grown apples and retains many of the fruits’ beneficial components because raw apple cider vinegar is not pasteurized. And in its two fermentation processes, it produces enzymes and life giving nutrients that make apple cider vinegar the powerhouse it is.

    What Is The Difference Between Clear Vinegar & Raw Apple Cider Vinegar?


    Clear vinegar has none of the benefits of raw organic apple cider vinegar. Through its processing and distilling, it’s been stripped of everything beneficial and can be detrimental to your health due to the fact that it is dead instead of alive.

    Only raw organic apple cider vinegar has the “mother of vinegar” that makes the vinegar so beneficial. The “mother” is made up living nutrients and bacteria. You can actually see it settled in the bottom of the bottle like sediment.


    What Can Raw Apple Cider Vinegar Do for Me?
    Beneficial ingredients in raw apple cider vinegar give it its power to make us feel better, look better and feel energized. Just look at some of the beneficial ingredients in raw apple cider vinegar:




    Potassium – helps to prevent brittle teeth, hair loss and runny noses.
    Pectin – helps to regulate blood pressure and reduce bad cholesterol.
    Malic Acid – gives ACV the properties of being anti-viral, anti-bacterial & anti-fungal.
    Calcium – helps create strong bones and teeth.
    Ash – gives ACV its alkaline property which aids your body in maintaining proper pH levels for a healthy alkaline state.
    Acetic Acid – It appears that this acid slows the digestion of starch which can help to lower the rise in glucose that commonly occurs after meals.
    A Few Benefits of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
    1 tablespoon of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar mixed in 4 ounces of purified water after a meal has been used as a natural remedy for heartburn and as a replacement for toxic heartburn medications.
    Raw Apple Cider Vinegar may help improve bowel irregularity, thereby removing toxins from the body at a faster rate.
    Helps clear up skin conditions and blemishes giving a smoother texture and complexion.
    Raw Apple Cider vinegar may also help with joint pain and stiffness.
    Apple Cider Vinegar helps to break down fats so that your body can use them rather than store them. For this reason, many diets include ACV in their regimen.
    On a small scale, ACV was studied by researchers at Arizona State University. The preliminary study was published in the Diabetes Care journal. It reported that ACV helps reduce levels of glucose.
    Raw organic apple cider vinegar is even good for pets. It has been used to help control fleas and even promotes a healthy shiny coat.

    How Do I Take Raw Apple Cider Vinegar?



    Mixed with another powerhouse of beneficial goodness, organic honey, apple cider vinegar can be a tasty treat with very healthy benefits. This is a great drink for fast energy. Remember, the mother of vinegar will settle at the bottom of the bottle between uses. Be sure to shake the bottle well before pouring to include these healthful ingredients. In a large pitcher, add together:

    2 tablespoons of Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
    1 gallon of purified water
    Raw locally harvested honey or agave nectar to suit your taste
    Raw honey or organic agave nectar is a great addition because of their health giving properties. They can help improve your energy, strengthen your immune system, and much more. And they taste great.

    You can also find apple cider vinegar in tablet or capsule form. However, I do not recommend these sources because they are a dried source and not living as the liquid is.



    Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is very strong so I always recommend diluting it with water. A good ratio is 1 tablespoon per 32 ounces of water for general use.

    My Personal Recommendation
    I personally use Bragg’s Organic raw apple cider vinegar on a daily basis. I would recommend this brand of apple cider vinegar over any other brand currently on the market. In fact, I keep the bottle you see on the right, both at home and at work.

        That stuff is sent straight from heaven! about 4 yrs ago I was resigned to using pepcid ac for the rest of my life. Freakin' expensive and if you miss a dose, it can take several days to start working again. I decided to give the raw ACV a try after reading some interesting studies. I put it on everything. Rice, salads, veggies and even chicken. I also get the added benefit of flavor without salt. I was a sodium junkie! Have never had acid reflux since, and I don't bloat so bad when I cycle due to reduced salt intake. You get used to the taste after a few months, and I actually like it now. Interesting to read some other benefits of it. I don't know about using it on my dogs, though. They've got to much attitude already from being spoiled. It'd just piss 'em off!

        That's a great post, Sam, keep 'em coming!

          I've used regular apple cider vinegar as a dressing on my spinach leaves and chicken. Never tried that brand, but if it's recommended by SAM it's got to be good. lol

              Probably one of the most interesting things I've read.

              How much does this stuff normally cost though? I'm low budget. Kind of a cheapass.

              Seems to me that many of the oils nowadays are quite expensive. Evoo was like 7 dollars for a bottle.

                Stuff is cheap, get it from health food store. I add to my daily fiber drink. $3 or $4 bucks for 16 oz. or so.
