APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
AGE OLD CURE ALL NATURAL FOLK REMEDY – DISCOVER ALL IT’S CLAIMED TO DO AND WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS...
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Apple Cider Vinegar has been used to treat just about everything…from Diabetes to high cholesterol to digestive complaints, like acid reflux.
What is It?
Apple cider vinegar has been a tried tested and true folk remedy for centuries. Some people swear by its positive and broad spectrum health effects. Made from apples in a process of fermentation by bacteria and yeast, the apples are first fermented into alcohol and then, left long enough, it turns into vinegar. The word vinegar literally means sour wine…
The end product contains mostly acetic acid and, although the USDA claims it has no vitamins and minerals, some say it has small amounts of amino acids, mineral salts, vitamins, and other acids. It is correct that it is a highly acidic liquid which may be the reason for its broad range of effects.
Although there have been lots of claims of health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar there is limited research done. Most of the claims made are simply from peoples' experience over the centuries. There are a few studies that have been conducted on animals but these studies have been limited. Despite the lack of formal research, people still claim Apple Cider Vinegar has helped them with many of their health concerns.
What is it Used For?
Apple Cider Vinegar can be used in salad dressing, marinades, vinaigrettes or it can be mixed with water, juices, or smoothies. Traditionally Apple Cider Vinegar has been used to treat just about everything…from diabetes to high cholesterol to digestive complaints, like acid reflux.
Some formal research conducted on humans by the American Diabetes Foundation in 2004 tested Apple Cider Vinegar’s effects of Diabetes Type 2. It showed that taking Apple Cider Vinegar before meals increased insulin sensitivity and lowered insulin and glucose spikes after meals. Another study conducted in 2007, quoted by WebMD, showed a 4-6 % decrease in morning fasting glucose in those who took 2 Tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar before bed. These studies show promising results from using Apple Cider Vinegar in the treatment of Diabetes Type 2.
Although people claim to have seen improvements in their cholesterol levels by taking Apple Cider Vinegar, there have been no human trials to support this. One study conducted in 2006 however did show Apple Cider Vinegar decreased total cholesterol in one animal study. But again many claim it helps reduce their LDL cholesterol.
Mainly though Apple Cider Vinegar is used for healthy digestion and helping establish a neutral ph in your body.
Apple Cider Vinegar is also said to be beneficial for hair, skin, pets, as well as house hold cleaners. It makes a great rinse for you hair by adding extra body and shine as well as it has been said to rid dandruff. ACV can ease the burn of a sun burn and can be used as a toner to help clear acne. Pet's suffering from flea? Try a spray of one part ACV and one part water to get rid of them. Apple Cider Vinegar works just like white vinegar when it comes to cleaning the house.
How Does it Work?
Theoretically, its claim to fame as a cure all for so many symptoms could be related to the fact it is an ‘acidic tonic’ for your stomach. It contains acetic acid, lactic acid, citric and malic acids. How these acids benefit and work in your system is as follows…Your stomach secretes acid to kill organisms and breakdown your food when you eat. This acid also helps you absorb minerals and B12, which need an acidic environment for absorption. Having proper acid levels in your stomach is necessary for the proper breakdown of food. Without proper breakdown food can ferment leading to gas formation, indigestion and the growth of Candida yeast and other organisms. So Apple cider vinegar aids in digestion by way of its nature as an ‘acid tonic’ for your stomach. However, it is suggested not to drink it straight. Because of it's high acidic levels apple cider vinegar may begin to break down the tooth enamel and be hard on the esophagus (not to mention the awful taste). It is suggested to mix 1-2 tablespoons with a big glass of water or juice.
Furthermore, acid reflux, despite popular medical belief, is more often caused by too low stomach acid, called hypochlorhydria. Increasing stomach acid by taking Apple Cider Vinegar will reduce symptoms of acid reflux because your food will be digesting properly with sufficient stomach acid.
Another benefit of this ‘acid tonic’ comes as a result of normalizing stomach acid. As mentioned, normalizing stomach acid results in better digestion and absorption of minerals. This leads to an overall balance of ph in your body. A balance of ph is important for numerous reasons. Your body needs to keep a very narrow ph window, especially in your blood. When you body becomes acidic your body uses Calcium from your bones to neutralize this acidity. This over time can lead to diseases like Osteoporosis. Your body operates ideally at a ph of 7, which is considered neutral. You can measure ph via saliva or urine using ph strips, readily found at health food stores.
So although your stomach needs to be acidic it is very important for optimal health that your body remains neutral ph.
CINNAMON
Well in this case, healthy can be tasty, too. Cinnamon's medicinal properties are as abundant and effective as they are delicious.
Cinnamon is a cure-all for digestive complaints, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping and diarrhea. It is also a go-to herb in terms of regulating blood sugar.
Cinnamon is a "cure all" for digestive complaints
Cinnamon has both anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, as well. For this reason it is used to treat colds and other respiratory infections. It is also a very warming herb. In terms of Chinese medicine, anyone suffering from cold or damp afflictions should increase their intake of herbs such as cinnamon and ginger – a great excuse to drink Chai tea!
As a digestive cinnamon can have a great impact on the uncomfortable feelings that accompany IBS - especially the bloating. This is due to killing the bacteria and healing infections that are present in the gastrointestinal tract and allowing the gastric juices to work normally.
TURMERIC
Turmeric is a potent natural anti-inflammatory herb. You are probably familiar with turmeric as the spice that gives curried dishes their characteristic colour and flavour. Turmeric contains antioxidant chemicals, called curcuminoids, for neutralizing free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that cause damage to the body’s tissues when they bump into healthy cells.
Thus turmeric can be used to stop infections, and protect the liver from toxins. The same molecules inhibit inflammation, thus acting as pain relieving agents. Turmeric has been shown to improve joint mobility and reduce the pain and swelling associated with all forms of arthritis. This activity is equivalent to the effect of some NSAID drugs. Turmeric lowers the level of harmful, or LDL, cholesterol and increases the level of helpful, or HDL, cholesterol. It also increases circulation and blood flow. All of these properties make turmeric a good choice for individuals with compromised circulation, heart disease and high cholesterol.
