It is probable you have heard the old adage, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” According to the founder of Apple Cider Vinegar they believe the axiom is absolute truth. Paul C. Bragg N.D., Ph.D. and his wife Patricia Bragg N.D., Ph.D. developed an elixir for life. As a couple they are recognized as America’s health crusading pioneers.
I will openly admit the thought of drinking Apple Cider Vinegar doesn’t exactly titillate my taste buds. Each morning I measure a teaspoon or two into a glass, add water, drink and repeat one or two times during the day. Fortunately I have developed an affinity for the tart cider. Add a hint of Stevia (a natural sugar substitute) to relieve the bite. I feel energized, alert, and ready to take on the day after I drink my 8-ounce glass. Why should you consume the cider? The operative question should be, why not? The plethora of benefits in consuming the cider may motivate you to reach for a bottle on your next visit to the grocery store.
In 2012 the Bragg family and their loyal audience celebrated “100 Years.” Fans of the cider were published in the Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar book raving about how the cider positively affects their life. Jack LaLanne (the famous nutritional expert) is quoted, “Paul Bragg saved my life at 15-years-old.” Others exalted the cider and advocate using the cider to help with any and all ailments. Patricia Bragg says, “The research worldwide supports Hippocrates, who similarly treated his patients in 400 BC. Hence he discovered the natural, unfiltered ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) as a powerful cleansing and healing elixir. Plus a naturally occurring antibiotic, antiseptic, that fights germs and bacteria for a healthier, stronger, longer life!” Who does not desire to have one product that serves such a myriad of benefits?
