The Power of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

                          

Cholesterol & heart disease: Pectin in the vinegar is a fiber which helps reduce bad cholesterol and helps in regulating blood pressure.  A 2006 study showed evidence that vinegar could lower cholesterol. However, the study was done in rats, so it's too early to know how it might work in people. Another study in rats found that vinegar could lower high blood pressure. A large observational study also found that people who ate oil and vinegar dressing on salads five to six times a week had lower rates of heart disease than people who didn't. However, it's far from clear that the vinegar was the reason.

Maintains strong bones: This vinegar helps extract calcium from the fruits, vegetables and meat it is mixed with.

Apple cider vinegar is loaded with potassium: Potassium deficiency causes a variety of conditions including hair loss, weak finger nails, brittle teeth, and sinusitis. The potassium in this vinegar also helps in eliminating toxic waste from the body.

Anti-oxidant: The beta-carotene helps in countering damage caused by free radicals, helping one maintain firmer skin and a youthful appearance.

Weight loss: Apple cider vinegar is good for those wanting to lose weight. It helps in breaking down fat which helps in natural weight reduction. White vinegar (and perhaps other types) might help people feel full. A 2005 study of 12 people found that those who ate a piece of bread along with small amounts of white vinegar felt fuller and more satisfied than those who just ate the bread.

Diabetes: The effect of vinegar on blood sugar levels is perhaps the best-researched and the most promising of apple cider vinegar's possible health benefits. Several studies have found that vinegar may help lower glucose levels. A 2007 study of 11 people with type 2 diabetes found that taking two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bed lowered glucose levels in the morning by 4%-6%.

Please make sure that you use only the natural, organic variety of apple cider vinegar, the sparkling clear variety will 
have practically no health benefits. The apple cider vinegar that contains all of the health benefits is not a clear liquid vinegar, but just the opposite. It is an  organic and unfiltered vinegar; it has got a brownish tinge to it. If you try looking through it, you will notice a tiny cobweb-like substance floating in it. This is known as "mother", and means just one thing. This apple cider vinegar is of good quality with all the nutrients and health giving properties intact. The pure vinegar is steamed to get the sparking clear vinegar that is available at the supermarket. This steaming process destroys almost all of the health giving nutrients.
