When I say that I "drink" it, I mean 1-2 tablespoons at a time. I don't just pour myself a glass. Why do I do that?
.
It aides in weight loss! From Livestrong: By helping balance blood sugar levels, apple cider vinegar also assists in weight loss, since insulin will not direct sugar to be stored as fat, says nutritionist Dr. Carol Johnston of the Arizona State University East.
Apple Cinder Vinegar is also an antioxidant since it contains the above vitamins and minerals.
I have read that Apple cider vinegar can be used as a facial toner, dandruff rinse and as a nightime drink to relieve muscle cramps. I have never used it for these reasons but I'll have to remember this for the future.
In ancient Greece, around 400 BC, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, prescribed apple cider vinegar mixed with honey for a variety of ills, including coughs and colds.

I have heard so much over the years about the many uses of vinegar, and ACV seems to have the most benefits. Do you drink it daily? I had a hard time choking it down to be honest, much like the cod liver oil.
ACV has so many uses; I like using it as a hair rinse. - visiting from the blog hop!
Hi Kimberly! The dressing is AMAZING!
Elizabeth, I don't drink it everyday although I really should. I use the dressing almost everyday. Stay tuned for a recipe to make it delicious.
Welcome Victory! I get pretty sloppy in the shower so I haven't used it on my hair yet. I'll try it soon!
My Daddy plays the guitar and about 10 years ago his arthritis in his hands had almost made it impossible to play. He started taking a concoction of vinegar and honey everyday and started seeing a drastic improvement. Now, it is like he never had arthritis. He'll drink it cold or warm, but my Mama preferes it warm like a tea.

I add it to my oatmeal and grains when I soak them overnight. I also use it on my face twice daily as I work outside year-round.
So many great uses for ACV! I eat mine mixed with ranch dressing over salad! :)
Thanks for sharing this week at the Blog Fest!

I did not know that Apple Cider Vinegar had so many benefits. This is a great article. Hope you are having a great weekend.
Oh my goodness how fab to find this blog! I have acne and have found ACV to be fantastic for it. I posted about it the other week.
In addition to helping my acne, it is very good for settling tummies.
Thanks for posting x

I've been using it lately to help my sore throats since the weather has been crazy. Thanks for the tips!
I like it on French Fries, but I think the good of the vinegar is negated by the bad of the fried potatoes. Oiy!
Visiting from LHITS.
I've been meaning to start drinking ACV, I just can't bring myself to do it! Maybe this post will change me ;)
I use ACV as a toner for my skin. I use a mixture of 3 parts water to 1 part ACV and put it on cotton balls and dab on my face. It helps even skin tones. I LOVE IT! I've been using it for at least 6 months and will never use anything else!

I try to remember to take it in the afternoons for a bump in energy. I haven't been lately, but this post reminds me. I think I will focus on it this week.
Awesome post. I will definitely try your Apple Cider Viniagrette.
I love Bragg ACV, I take it daily & so do all my kids & they ask for it if they are feeling bad.
We also use it for skin care, deodorant, as conditioner (no poo) etc, it is a top 10 item in our house. Visiting from in & out of the Kitchen
I started drinking it in the morning and evening to treat a sinus infection. Cleared it right up without having to go to the Dr. I now drink it every morning. Looking forward to following you and learning more.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I remember reading this. I will have to give it a try. I am especially interested in the benefits for the stomach!
Thanks for sharing this at the In and Out of the Kitchen link party! You know I love seeing everything you bring to the party!

Gonna check out the apple cider vinegarette recipe. Thanks for sharing at A Humble Bumble :)
Great post!
I mix 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar with 1 tbsp. my dad's raw honey in about 3 ounces of water and drink it a few times a week.
Nice for your skin.
Go apple cider vinegar! I usually make kind-of an energy drink out of it with lemon and cranberry juice. Powerful stuff!

Hi Mary! My dad drank that vinegar/honey/water combo when I was growing up! I think your Apple Cider Vinaigrette sounds good. Thanks for sharing at the Rock N Share.

Thanks for sharing this post at Repurposed Ideas Weekly. Just started trying apple cider vinegar daily. I recently used it for a yeast infection with excellent results. My husband started trying it too for better digestion.
I heard it increases your metabolism. I hope it works!
Thanks for sharing! I have never used it myself, but we always used it in the pet store if the animals were sick and it worked wonders
I wanted to let you know that this post was the Top Voted link at last weeks In and Out of the Kitchen link party! I can't wait to see what you bring next week!
Apple cider vinegar is my favorite and I really like to have it with my recipes most times. The usefulness of Apple cider is enormous. But I really don't know about the benefits about such vinegar you've shared here. It's great to read this blog post. Thanks.
