Apple Cider Vinegar

A Time-Tested Folk Medicine

Apple Cider Vinegar is probably the best detoxifier for the body. As such, it should be considered a critical component of the fountain of youth.

The benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) have been proclaimed by the ancient Egyptians and have traditionally been used by them to treat ailments of all kinds. In fact, they believed ACV acted as a tonic improving the circulation and flow of blood.

On the other hand, Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, in 400 BC also treated his patients with natural ACV for its powerful cleansing, healing and germ fighting qualities.

ACV is a rich source of pectin, malic acid, vitamins, potassium, minerals, amino acids and trace elements:

Minerals and trace elements
Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Sodium, Sulfur, Copper, Iron, Silicon, and etc.

Vitamins
Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Provitamin beta-carotene, Vitamin P.

ACV seems to be a panacea. Every constituent seems to play an important role. The health benefits of ACV listed below are widely acclaimed and experienced by many, although most of them have not been scientifically confirmed. We make no claims about any of the health benefits but offer them up as a starting point for further research on your part. These proposals do not substitute the advice of your doctor or healthcare provider.

Apple Cider Vinegar fights acid crystals which cause gouts, arthritis, bursitis, and premature aging.

When acid crystals harden in the joints and tissues of any animal, the joints become stiff and the tissues hardened. The meat becomes tough and tasteless. But, when the animals are given ACV regularly, the precipitated acid crystals enter into a solution and pass out of the body, thus making the body tissues healthier and tender. This applies to human flesh also. Accumulation of excess uric acid in the body causes acid crystals to deposit in the joints, resulting in gouts, arthritis, and bursitis.

1 to 2 tsp of ACV with 1 to 2 tsp of raw honey in a glass of distilled water daily will put the acid crystals in solution so they can be flushed out of the body by the kidneys and other organs of elimination, thus help relieve the stiffness, ache, and premature old joints. You be the judge. See how elastic and well oiled your joints will become.

INTERNAL BENEFITS:

• Helps to retard the onset of old age. ACV is very rich in potassium, a mineral many of us are deficient in, and a deficiency that causes old age to creep on us sooner. Calcium maintains our hard tissues such as bones, and potassium is the equivalent to the body’s soft tissues, keeping the body’s flesh, joints and arteries soft and resilient.
• Fight high blood pressure and keep the heart healthy. Animal proteins and fats have a tendency to thicken the blood. When blood thickens, it puts a strain on the heart. Then the blood pressure goes up and other problems start. In order for blood to circulate freely throughout the body, the blood should be thin. The potassium in ACV is beneficial to both the heart and blood pressure, helps to keep the blood healthier and thinner, and thereby aids in preventing a stroke.
• Natural fighter against germ and bacteria.
• Helps remove body toxins.
• Helps support a healthy immune system.
• Help relieve gouts, arthritis stiffness.
• Help relieve dry sore throats.
• Reducing LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol). The pectin found in ACV is a water-soluble fibre that is capable of soaking up fats and cholesterol in the body and then is excreted instead of being reabsorbed. The amino acids contained in ACV have also shown promise in neutralizing some of the harmful oxidized LDL cholesterol.
• Reducing water retention in the body and excess sodium from the body.
• Relieves asthma and assists in preventing circulatory problems.
• Relieve nasal congestion. A constant draining of mucus from the sinus cavities can be both sore and uncomfortable. It is best to cut out. or eat as little as possible, of mucus forming food – which traditionally, in most cases would be dairy products. Many sufferers of nasal congestion have experienced relief by adding ACV to their diet.
• Helps with diminishing premature calcification of the arteries.
• Flushing gallstones and kidney stones. ACV is beneficial in breaking up kidney stones and gallstones, by softening or dissolving them. For gallstones flush and kidney stones flush health programme, please email our nutritionist (stanley@newlife-today.com)
• Prevents Osteoporosis. The manganese, magnesium, silicon, and calcium found in ACV have been linked in sustaining bone mass, which is important in fighting against osteoporosis.
• Powerful anti-oxidant. Although ACV cannot cure cancer, it is a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing the free radicals. If free radicals are left alone to have the run of our bodies, they cause major damage by severely damaging cells, which leads to aging and degeneration.
• Helps increase concentration and memory.
• Assists in blood circulation, body temperature as well as vitality and energy.
• Improves digestion and assimilation. If the food cannot be broken into the absorbable form, the body cannot assimilate the required nutrients needed from the diet. The malic acid and tartaric acid found in ACV help in digesting food for proper metabolizing of proteins, fats, and minerals while killing off unwanted and unfriendly bacteria in the digestive tract.
• Relieves constipation. Constipation is the root causes of many illnesses and degenerative diseases. When we add fibre to our diet, such as the pectin in ACV, we assist our body by having regular bowel movements and proper elimination, which helps with preventing cancer, especially colon cancer.
• Cures diarrhoea and food poisoning. Add 1 tbsp of ACV to a glass of distilled water and sip 1-2 tsp of the mixture every 5 minutes. Effective to aid the body rid of harmful compounds and bacteria, as well as providing a protective coating which soothes the irritated lining of the colon.
• Prevents cramps.
• Effective in weight loss. ACV taken before meals will speed up the metabolism, makes the body burn calories better and controls blood glucose level.

Apple Cider Vinegar fights arterial plaque and helps reduce your chances of suffering a heart attack or stroke.
Plaque build-up is a leading cause of heart attacks and strokes by blocking blood flow to the heart and brain. ACV not only shows signs of fighting plaque build-up but may actually reverse some of the damage by helping to dissolve plaque.
