26 Reasons You Need Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) In Your Life

To understand apple cider vinegar, we must first understand what vinegar is and for that we have to go back in
time… around 5,000 years ago in fact!
As with all good discoveries, (read penicillin), it was discovered by someone with some untidy habits. Essentially
it was discovered when grape juice turned into wine and then after what I can only imagine was a long time…into
vinegar!
Upon its discovery it was used to preserve food, but obviously after many years of people eating vinegar infused
food, somebody clocked onto the fact that people were getting healthier and decided that it must be an amazing,
healthy antidote to almost every single ailment imaginable.
I actually find this interesting because they must have eaten a ton of vinegar flavoured food, but still decide it
was worth using to help with their health.
However I am glad that they saw past this and pushed onwards with it, because it meant that we now have a
massive history of evidence to look back on and see it benefits.
A little bit more history
You may have heard of an ancient Greek named Hippocrates, of the Hippocratic Oath fame?
Well he used apple cider vinegar for a myriad of reasons including but not limited to:
Poison Ivy
Croup
Stomach aches
Diabetes
Although vinegar actually means “sour wine” in French; it can really be made from any kind of carb that is
possible to be fermented, which includes apples of course!
