Years ago, I was introduced to Apple Cider Vinegar through an article I was reading in some health journal at the time.  As I read about the great health benefits, I thought to myself that this could be a great source of a lot of good vitamins and minerals.

So, I set out on my quest to learn more about this amazing product that has been around for thousands of years, as far back as 3000 B.C. in recorded history. The Egyptians, Babylonians, Romans, and Greeks, all used Apple Cider Vinegar for healing, flavoring, antiseptic, and a preservative, just to name a few of its uses.

Hippocrates the Father of Medicine treated his patients with raw Apple Cider Vinegar as far back as 400 B.C. Hippocrates understood and recognized the powerful healing and cleansing of  toxins out of the body.

Just some of its properties among many, are the naturally occurring antibiotic and antiseptic that fights germs and bacteria.  Not all  Apple Cider Vinegar is acceptable for all the great health benefits, those that you buy off the neighborhood store shelves, for the most part it has been distilled, pasteurized, and filtered.  The distilling process is done by heating  it till it turns to steam, thus destroying all the powerful enzymes and minerals that our bodies so desperately need. Stay away from all the dead vinegars!

Fighting high blood pressure? Thick blood will put a strain on the heart, hence your blood pressure goes up and a whole lot of health problems begins. The cause of this thick blood comes from our poor American diet, consuming to many meals laden with heavy proteins, such as animal protein and fats. The natural occurring acids enzymes in Apple Cider Vinegar will help keep your blood healthier and thinner, the reason for this is because these properties are not boiled away through distilling.

Potassium is one of the most important minerals we can take into our bodies. It is important for a healthy nervous system and a regular heart beat. It helps prevent strokes. potassium also helps with high cholesterol. This is only a sample what potassium can do for our bodies, some of the greatest work is performed at the cellar level.

So, what kind of Apple Cider Vinegar is best for us? There is only one type for me, as far as I’m concerned, that is, raw natural organically  grown  apples, and unfiltered with the “Mother.”To purchase the best grade of raw unfiltered organic Apple Cider Vinegar would be from your local health food store. There is only one brand that I buy and it is because of the quality that is painstakingly taken for each barrel of ACV that they produce each time.

When it come to Apple Cider Vinegar, an  insurmountable amount of credit would have to go to the first family of Apple Cider Vinegar, “The Bragg family,”  for their prolific research and publications on the subject of ACV. You can learn more by going to www.bragg.com
