The wonders of Vinegar

[jaymie]

[keystroke]

not once a day, but usually once a fortnight!

if you're gonna do something, do it properly I guess :D

i'm sure in the case of apple cider vinegar whatever you get into your system is doing some good whether it is 60 mls a day or 300 every two weeks.

Apple Cider Vinegar is cheap, easy to use and it really benefits our health in numerous ways. Hippocrates, the father of medicine thought of it as a powerful elixir and a naturally occurring antibiotic and antiseptic that fights germs. Ancient Egyptians, Roman’s and Greeks used it. And Apple Cider Vinegar is mentioned in the Bible as an antiseptic and healing agent. Even Columbus had barrels of vinegar on his ships for the prevention of scurvy. Indeed, Apple Cider Vinegar has been used for thousands of years, as both a health and cleansing agent.

Apple Cider Vinegar can benefit both people and their pets. It is antibacterial and anti-fungal and gives the immune system a good boost. As a high potassium electrolyte balancer, it remineralizes the body and helps normalize the blood’s alkaline acid balance.

Apple Cider Vinegar is proving most beneficial to people or animals with arthritis because it breaks down calcium deposits in the joints while remineralizing the bones. It has proven to be equally beneficial to dogs with hip dysplasia.

Apple Cider Vinegar is a good remedy for food poisoning and helpful in digestive upsets. It is also effective for urinary tract infections and it lowers high blood pressure. In animals, it is helpful in skin and coat problems. For those on diuretics, it is helpful in replacing potassium depletion. Use one teaspoonful in the dog or cat’s drinking water daily as a healthy tonic. Two teaspoonfuls in a pint of water, for yourself.

For centuries, people have recognized cider vinegar’s health benefits to fight infection, promote digestion, and even in fighting osteoporosis. So when you eat that salad with the cider vinegar and oil dressing, you’re reaping large health benefits as well as good taste!

once, in a chemistry lab, i accidentally took a HUGE sniff off 95 % acetic acid, thinking it was a aromatic compound a friend had been working on. to this day, when i smell vinegar, i cringe. couldnt smell a thing for a fucking week after that little fiasco.

Haha! I've too took a giant whiff of glacial acetic acid to only be knocked on my arse. Not nice!

Vinegar does NOT help with cat urine. Neither does baking soda. Very few things do!

Otherwise, go vinegar!

^^Throw a little in with mashed potatoes, add some bacon, and (if you must) some green vegetables like beans or snow peas. I only recently learnt to appreciate this ever-so useful liquid, in both cooking and miscellaneous applications.

Oh, and if you didn't know you can use to shoot corks out of bottles
