“Our great-grandmother will turn 100 in two weeks. She still kayaks, gardens, and shovels her own snow covered driveway. For over 80 years, she had one recipe for life:
2 Tbsps Bragg ACV (If you are new to consuming ACV, Bragg is kinda harse, I like Simply Nature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. It has a sweeter taste).
and
1 tsp of honey mixed into a full glass of water
This is the secret, she says, to a life worth living. Five generations of our family will celebrate her 100th birthday Vinegar Drinks! ”

Apple cider vinegar in specific has been used as a traditional home remedy for a number of years. In 1958, D.C. Jarvis, M.D published his book Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctor’s Guide to Good Health and widespread medicinal use of apple cider vinegar took off. Jarvis recommended apple cider vinegar as a cure-all, explaining that it was unusually rich in potassium. He said that mixing the apple cider vinegar with honey enhanced the healing power of the vinegar. Jarvis also wrote that apple cider vinegar could destroy harmful bacteria in the digestive tract and recommended as a digestive tonic to be consumed with meals. He stating that “…numerous common ailments, including colds, infections, rheumatism and arthritis may be relieved, and even cured with this simple treatment.”
How Does Apple Cider Vinegar Relieve Arthritis Pain?
Mineral deficiencies in the body can make joint pain worse. Because Apple Cider Vinegar contains the calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus and other trace minerals and vitamins your body needs, it helps as a supplement and therefore reduces pain.
The magnesium in apple cider vinegar helps bones absorb calcium, which is essential to bone strength.
Apple cider vinegar also contains antioxidants, beta-carotene, and acetic acid. Antioxidants block the damaging effects of free radicals, preventing the cell and tissue damage commonly found with degenerative conditions like arthritis.
It is rich in enzymes and acids that promote proper digestion and the absorption of the nutrients essential to healthy joints.
Arthritis pain is partially caused by metabolic waste that is stored in connective tissues. The pectin, acetic acid, and malic acid in apple cider vinegar help absorb toxins and flush them out of the body.
When consumed, apple cider vinegar reduces the pain and stiffness of arthritis by dissolving the acid crystals that build up in the joints. Especially with gout.
Once it is processed, apple cider vinegar leaves behind an alkaline residue that helps balance the body’s pH.
Hope this helps….
