The
Wonders of Apple Cider Vinegar
"Vinegar"
comes from the French "Vinaigre" - "Vin" for wine and
"Aigre" for sour, therefore vinegar stands for "the wine
that has gone sour." Vinegar was accidentally discovered by French.
The fermented wine was exposed to air by accident and vinegar
appeared!
Where
does the vinegar actually come from, you ask? The sweet apple juice is
allowed to age, sealed tightly away from the air. Until all the natural
sugar has been converted to alcohol, mother-of-vinegar is then added to
start the second fermentation. Meanwhile, it is left open to the air, and,
the alcohol changes to apple cider vinegar. Amazing!
Apple
cider vinegar (ACV) is golden liquid concentrated with the healthy
goodness of apples. It contains more than 30 important nutrients, 12
minerals, over 6 vitamins, essential acids and several enzymes. Moreover,
it has a large dose of pectin for a healthy heart, and thus, healthy as a
whole.
ACV
is cheap, easy to use and it really benefits our health in numerous ways.
ACV can benefit both people and their pets. It is antibacterial and
anti-fungal and gives the immune system a good boost. As a high potassium
electrolyte balancer, it remineralizes the body and helps normalize the
blood’s alkaline acid balance.
ACV
is proving most beneficial to people or animals with arthritis because it
breaks down calcium deposits in the joints while remineralizing the bones.
It has proven to be equally beneficial to dogs with hip dysplasia.
ACV
is a good remedy for food poisoning and helpful in digestive upsets. It is
also effective for urinary tract infections and it lowers high blood
pressure. In fact, daily use of ACV eliminates tear stains around the eyes
and nose of pets with white or light-colored fur. For those on diuretics,
it is helpful in replacing potassium depletion.
ACV
is the natural king of skin remedies. It is wonderful for itching and
scratching pets as well as a superb skin and hair conditioner. Good old
apple cider vinegar either straight or diluted 50/50 with water can be
applied directly to the affected area and allowed to dry. It will
eliminate dandruff, rejuvenate hair, skin and help sweeten and balance the
pH levels in the body. When giving your pet a bath, shampoo, rinse, then
apply ACV either straight or diluted, followed by rinsing with water.
Notice, any residue shampoo will be washed out and you will feel and see
an increased softness and sheen to the coat. It can be followed with a
conditioner of your choice. Taken internally will help the body against
arthritis, itching, obesity, bad odor, dry skin, joint problems, lack
luster hair and weak immune system. Average dosage for a dog or person is
1/2 oz morning and 1/2 oz. evening. A cat is half that dose. Can be
diluted fifty fifty with water, dripped on food. Finicky pets try tiny
doses then work up to suggested amount.
For
centuries, people have recognized ACV's health benefits to fight
infection, promote digestion, and even in fighting osteoporosis. So when
you eat that salad with the cider vinegar and oil dressing, you’re
reaping large health benefits as well as good taste!
Perhaps the most sought
after benefit of APPLE CIDER VINEGAR is the quick, easy WEIGHT
LOSS it helps promote. Since it naturally helps your body get rid of
excess fluids, helps speed up a slow metabolism and helps to
"curb" your appetite. An age old product has been
"re-discovered" and is now being used by millions to aid them in
their weight loss endeavors. This liquid is highly absorbable so it starts
working on you very quickly. You will be on your way to looking and
feeling younger.
Enjoy!
