Week A - Miracles of Apples Cider Vinegar

The Miracles of Apple Cider Vinegar

I have always enjoyed using raw organic Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in my cooking. It is a miracle worker with so many uses. It not only adds a sweet tart flavor to your dish, but the health benefits behind it is exactly why we should all take the time to understand our food better. Recently, the Bragg's Family Book on Apple Cider Vinegar came to our home. I learned that ACV is the cure all for almost everything!! After reading the book there is no doubt Apple Cider Vinegar is a healer with a mountain of power behind it.

During this cold season, I picked up one of the nasty colds flying around. My cough became painful. I was curious to see if there was anything I could do with ACV to help with the cough. Yes, there is a remedy for a sore throat using ACV.

Cold Remedy:

2 tsp raw organic Apple Cider Vinegar

8 oz water, boiled

1 tsp honey or to taste

1) Mix together and enjoy a sweet throat soother at least three times or more a day. It will break up the mucus.

The Bragg's family also recommends, for optimal health, to drink ACV three times a day starting first thing in the morning, mid morning and mid afternoon for a healthy pick me up, with the same remedy only using cold water.

The Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, dating back to 400 B.C. was known to use two remedies with Apple Cider Vinegar and honey. The technique of making ACV is very strict science. The ripe apples go through a stringent process of fermentation to create the unfiltered "mother" that nurtures and protects your entire body's system.

How Apple Cider Vinegar keeps us strong:

ACV is a proprietor of vitamins, beta-carotene, pectin and vital minerals such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, chlorine, sulphur, iron, and fluorine.
