The Many Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar

The benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar are numerous – people have been using fermented apple cider for thousands of years. Hippocrates used Apple Cider Vinegar to treat many ailments. Christopher Columbus carried barrels of it from overseas to prevent scurvy and other afflictions.

Some of the many benefits include:

• Weight loss
• Alleviates symptoms of gout and arthritis
• Keeps eyes functioning normally
• Aids in digestion and is loaded with probiotics
• Purifies cells by ridding the body of toxic waste
• Strengthens the heart
• Great source of potassium (millions of us are deficient)
• Lowers cholesterol and blood pressure
• Kills germs and combats mucus and sore throats
• Great for use externally for many common ailments

When choosing an Apple Cider Vinegar, look for one that is raw, organic and unfiltered. You want it to be a little cloudy with sediment. A health tonic we commonly use is 1 tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar and a little honey or stevia. Add this to a glass of filtered water and enjoy twice a day.

There are several brands of vinegar in our Natural Foods Department as well as pills inside Herb ‘N Jungle at both Jungle Jim’s locations.
