I am reading more and more about the health benefits of 1-2T of Apple Cider vinegar. I got some Bragg and poured out 2T and just drank it like a "shot"

The taste was so extremely bad and it was like a gut bomb!

 

What is the trick? Take on full stomach? Chase it with something?

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar: Daily?

Yes there are many benefits to ACV. However, it should not be taken full strength as it is too hard on teeth enamel and the esophagus. It should always be added to water or a juice. I add 1T ACV and 1T lemon juice to a full 8 oz glass of water and also add a little stevia and a shot of cinnamon.  You should also give yourself a few days to get used to drinking it. There are many vids on YouTube. Good luck !

@granddi  Yes, there are a multitude of health benefits in ACV, however, taking it straight isn't a good idea.  It could burn your throat.  Try putting it in something you are drinking or sprinkle it on a salad or fish or someother food.  It is so full of enzymes.  My dad used to mix it with honey and gargle with it and then swallow it.  Play around with it and see what works for you.

The only people who benefit from apple cider vinegar are the producers of the overpriced stuff like Bragg's.  The ignorance of its purchasers only serves to line the pockets of those peddling unconfirmed, pseudoscientive nonsense.

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar: Daily?

If I have salad I have vinegar--and I buy all kinds of vinegars from sherry (which I LOVE) to balsamic.  I don't see what difference the kind of vinegar would make. . . Anyway, no I am not a follower of this fad.  But I always make my own salad dressings with vinegar and good olive oil...so if that counts, I'm in!  LOL!!

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar: Daily?

I have tried to drink that for the numerous health benefits but the taste is awful. I guess I should just drink it & remember what's it's doing for me. My best friend started using it. She adds it to a small amount of water (like a juice cup) with honey & lemon & drinks it down fast followed by a glass of water.

I bought some and tried to mix a little with water and I even added like 10 packets of Splenda, but the taste was horrible!!! I could not take it! I finally poured it down the drain.

I tried drinking it, but it was too strong.  There are capsules available, so I take at least one of those a day.

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar: Daily?

So many wonderful uses for Apple Cider Vinegar. As a detox, benefit for diabetes and others. I also use it as a hair conditioner and detoxifier to get any build up out of my hair. Makes hair shiny and soft! Cheaper then some clarifying conditioners out there for sure! My husband uses it every day as a shot then takes a chaser. He says one gets used to the taste.
