An Apple a Day Can Keep Sickness at Bay

We all have heard the "apple a day" idiom from our youth. The qualities which make apple consumption so healthy, are only magnified in a vinegar called apple cider vinegar. It is no ordinary vinegar. It has a laundry list of health benefits which I can only begin to cover in this post. The benefits of apple consumption are exponentially magnified in apple cider vinegar through the double fermentation process and consequent production of the fermented fruit acid. This fruit acid contains a myriad of nutrients, namely, pectin, malic acid, multiple minerals and vitamins including beta carotene. It is a virtual health tonic whose benefits were known by many ancients, namely the Egyptians, who used it to treat all ailments, specifically as a tonic for the circulatory system. Some internal benefits of apple cider vinegar consumption include but are not limited to the following: Aids in weight maintenance and reduction by promoting digestion and balanced PH levels, assists in the removal of toxins, and, supports the health of the immune system. It can also be used externally on the body. I recently made an apple cider vinegar toner for my face as it is very healthy for the skin as well as for the relief of sore muscles from exercise. It is advised to dilute it to use it externally. There are many delicious recipes for apple cider vinegar as well which can be found with more detailed information regarding the health benefits of consuming apple cider vinegar on a daily basis in the following book: Apple Cider Vinegar-Miracle Health System, written by Paul and Patricia Bragg. They also have one of the best apple cider vinegar products as it contains the "mother" which is a string of enzymatically connected protein molecules. In purchasing a vinegar, remember to look for this on the label. An excellent website which contains more usage information regarding apple cider vinegar is:  www.earthclinic.com.
