Some ACV a day to keep the doctor away - health matters - apple cider vinegar - Brief Article

Better Nutrition, April, 2002

Proponents of apple cider vinegar say it's a natural substance with various health benefits, from healing burns to restoring energy to fighting premature aging. "The healthiest person in the world must continually fight the build-up of acid crystals in the body. The strongest enemy of acid crystals is organic apple cider vinegar, raw honey and distilled water cocktail," says the Living and Raw Foods Web site (www.living-foods.com). "This powerful mixture puts the acid crystals in solution so they can be flushed out of the body by the kidneys and other organs of elimination," the site says.

"If you suffer from premature old joints and hardened tissues, take the ACV mixture several times daily," the site says. "Eliminate or cut down on animal proteins and stop all the refined sugars and see how youthful your body will feel. You will find after months of the ACV and honey cocktail taken once or twice daily, the misery will be gone from your joints." However, as the site notes, apple cider vinegar will not cure arthritis and should only be used in concert with a healthy diet, exercise and proper hygiene.
