Apple Cider Vinegar




Apples are great. Cider is perfect on a cold night. Vinegar is even good on salads, especially when mixed with olive oil. Separately all of these things are good, but as soon as they are combined to produce Apple Cider Vinegar – ugh! I have read the numerous health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar, especially Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, so I decided to give it a go. How bad can it be? 2 teaspoons, on an empty stomach, each morning and then 1 teaspoon at night. I can drink 2 teaspoons of anything – just down it like a shot and everything will be good. Or so I thought.

This morning I sleepwalk out into the kitchen to measure out the 2 teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar, all the while trying not to get a whiff of the awful vinegar smell. I pour it into a juice glass, hold my nose, and then take it like a shot. UGH!!! No wonder this stuff has so many weight loss benefits – it makes you want to vomit! Why does something with all of these heath benefits taste so bad? Plus, I have heard that it does wonders on your hair, not only from drinking the stuff, but can also be used as a rinse. So, if you can get over the fact that you might smell like a walking salad, you will have luxuriously shiny and full hair.

Not sure if you're still trying to figure it out, but I tried putting it in hot water with the honey and some baking soda (to counteract the acid). Good luck!
