Apple Cider Vinegar

For awhile I have been meaning to share with you all about apple cider vinegar. The first person to ever tell me about it was my sister Hillary. She had been reading a book about the benefits of certain foods and what we should be adding to our diet, and apple cider vinegar was one of them. 
Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made from cider (basically as it sounds) that tastes kind of like an appley vinegar (as it sounds). I know. Sounds delicious right (kidding)? It can be used in salad dressings, added to water, or drank straight, like a shot. I wouldn't recommend the shot. It doesn't taste the best (even though it isn't horrible). However, I put 2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar in my water every morning, and really, it is not that bad. I know, I know. I'm selling this really well. However, here are the claimed health benefits that have been attributed to apple cider vinegar:
(1) It aids weight loss. (2) It helps to whiten teeth (although you shouldn't apply it straight to your teeth.) (3) Prevents indigestion. (4) Helps sooth a sore throat and a stuffy nose. (5) Helps prevent exhaustion. (6) It can be used to rinse out your hair after shampooing to make your hair shiny. (7) It can be used as a facial toner. (8) It can be used to soothe a sunburn (just put some on a cotton ball and spread over the lobstery area). (9) It can help you detox. (10) It helps with anti-aging.
I don't claim to be a doctor or scientist, but I do know that when I regularly drink apple cider vinegar with my water, I do feel better in general. If you choose to give apple cider vinegar a try, make sure to get the organic kind. That is apparently the kind that works, and you should be able to find it in your local grocery store.
