Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar

Egyptians are known to be the first users of apple cider vinegar for a natural treatment of ailments. It can increase blood circulation and houses ample vitamins and minerals that serve various important functions in recovery and healing the body.

Keep in mind that just any apple cider vinegar won't do, you need the murky one that is organic. Apparently the second fermentation that it goes through gives the vinegar its healthy advantages and amazing qualities. Don't want to drink it? Do it the easy way and use Apple Cider Vinegar powder!

Below are 10 health benefits to be obtained from apple cider vinegar.

  3. Osteoporosis - Apple cider vinegar contains calcium levels that keep bones strong and healthy. It is extremely helpful for seniors to prevent osteoporosis.

Great hub! I use Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar with the "mother" in it. I put a teaspoon in 8 oz of water and drink it one to 2 times per day. It has so many benefits!

I've used it for my hair, and yet wasn't aware of all of it's health benefits. I'll have to find some and try it out. thanks for an informative hub. I have some in the cupboard, but it's not organic. does it make a big difference?

Some great uses for Apple Cider vinegar - most of them are new to me also, thanks.

theherbivorehippi Hub Author 2 years ago

Austinstar - Yes it really is fabulous and has so many uses!

entertainmentplus - Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed!

rebekahELLE - Ooooh yes I use it for my hair too. I'm under the understanding that it really does make a difference. Something to with the fermenting process of organic that gives it extra nutrients. :)

billyaustindillon - Thanks for reading!!

rebekahELLE Level 5 Commenter 2 years ago

it does make sense that organic would make a difference. I'm excited about trying it. I just checked the bottle I have is not organic. I'll save that for my hair and the coffee decanter! thanks again, rated up!

Sounds like some healthy stuff, but how do you use it? You don't just drink it do you?

theherbivorehippi profile image

theherbivorehippi Hub Author 2 years ago

Oh yes, you can drink it. Usually dilute it with water. Some people add honey, I add agave nectar but for some of the uses it is used as a soak or you can gargle with it to whiten your teeth or use it as a rinse on your hair to get the build up off. Or..you can just simply do a quick shot of it straight...doesn't taste the best though! :)

HH, good hubs on good stuff. Have you seen the mole removing techniques using it? I may have asked this before, I wonder if it backs up mental memory? I need a system restore for my brain, restore it to last know point it was working right? Now there is irony if you can't remember in the first place, lol

theherbivorehippi profile image

You know 50 Caliber, I keep trying to remember to make a note to test to see if it works for backing up mental memory but I keep forgetting. lol

I use the ACV/water mixture after meals - it lowers blood sugar. My husband benefits from the fact that his gout hasn't returned since he drinks it 5 times a week. Baking soda is a wonderful kitchen cupboard aid, as well. Great to whiten teeth and it kills bacteria. Have you done an article on ACV for household uses and cleaning? (baking soda also).

theherbivorehippi profile image

theherbivorehippi Hub Author 2 years ago

Ya know Karen....I've been working on a hub about household uses of it and just keep putting it off. I have the outline done, just haven't committed to finishing. I'm so glad you said that about the blood sugar....I wrote on hub on that too....i don't know if you read that or not? I've been trying to get my mom to drink it for months and she refuses for whatever reason but I know it will help her blood sugar level. I drink shots of it all day.....my joints used to ache...especially my knees where I would take endless amounts of ibuprofen every day and now I don't take any.

As for baking soda...I know there are many wonderful uses for it but for whatever reason I've never put them to use. I really should. You should totally write a hub about the uses so I can reference!!

Geez.. how I missed seeing this before now, I don't know. We think alike. I use this vinegar (with the mother in it) for so many things..from getting rid of belly aches to cleaning windows and coffee pot stains. I have for years! Love it. I rated this up..good job!

How did I miss this super ACV hub! I thought I looked at all of your great vinegar hubs! I just don't know what I would do without it - and you are so right - it does absolutely everything. I like the smell of it and prefer to splash it on me rather than a toxic cologne - at least I know it's beneficial.

Looking forward to your next vinegar hub! Yay! Rated up and more!

Wow. These are a lot of benefits! I had no idea! Do you usually cook with it?

theherbivorehippi profile image

theherbivorehippi Hub Author 23 months ago

BkCreative - Shame on you for missing one of my hubs! lol I really does do absolutely everything. I think if I was stranded on a desert island I would pick Apple Cider Vinegar to take with me.

glassvisage - Oddly...I NEVER cook with it. lol I do shots of it a few times a day and then I used it for other random things...bug repellent, moisturizes my skin, takes the skunk smell off my dogs when they get sprayed. lol My joints and muscles never ache anymore and I just feel so much healthier.

It also works well for catching houseflies. Just fill a small jar about 1/3 to 1/2 full with the ACV, and cover the top with cling wrap and poke 2 or 3 holes in the cling wrap. Then place it near a window or wherever the flies congregate. They love the sweet nectar and eventually drown...poor little buggers.

Wow I never realized the Apple Cider Vinegar was so useful.

I used to drink it quite often but dropped off when it became hard to get. I will try again to get more.

Thanks for this useful Hub!

theherbivorehippi profile image

theherbivorehippi Hub Author 21 months ago

I literally cannot make it through a day without it. I drink it, I spray it on me, I use it as a bug deterrent when i walk the dogs and I just started using it as a conditioner. What a wonderful and versatile product!

My father has joint problems, especially in the Winter, and he used apple cider vinegar and it really works. I'm attempting to try it but the taste it just...not good.

theherbivorehippi profile image

Yes....that is the main reason I drink it....I have horrible knees and not the best back but ACV helps so very much.

ACV is an absolute must. I was just reading that the US medical profession is finally admitting that ACV can be used to prevent and treat chronic diseases! Of course.

I'm glad you showed quality organic - we should never accept a poor substitute.

Awesome hub and I am now a follower and shall return.

Rated up!

I like to drink it neat like a whiskey shot occasionally. I don't necessarily recommend it to anyone else that way but I find it a great energy boost.
