Beauty and Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar (Jabucni Ocat u Sluzbi Zdravlja i Ljepote)


By Nerina

Vinegar is one of nature’s gifts and has been in use for more than one thousand years. One of the most popular kinds is the apple cider vinegar (ACV). It is believed that ACV has been used by the early civilizations as a health remedy: it is documented that Hippocrates prescribed it as medicine to many of his patients. Since ancient times, people have used ACV as a deodorant and a face toner. ACV has also been used to preserve food, vitality, energy, and as a disinfectant/healing remedy for cuts and wounds.   

ACV contains 19 out of 22 important minerals for growth and maintenance of good health: Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Chlorine, Sodium, Sulfur, Copper, Iron, Silicon, and Fluorine. It contains vitamins Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Provitamin beta-carotene, Vitamin P. 

Recipe for an ACV drink: 

The standard recipe for this drink includes 2-3 teaspoons of ACV and 30 ml of water. ACV should be mixed with water as it may damage teeth if used on its own over long period of time. Also, using unpasteurized and natural kind will provide more benefits due to its high content of live enzymes. Note: Please shake ACV before you use it!

Using ACV as a Part of Your Beauty Regime:

ACV helps with cell growth and regeneration. You may use it for your hair, skin, and nails. Apply ACV (2 teaspoons) mixed with 30ml of water on acne prone or oily skin several times a day. Sunspots can also be reduced if you apply one teaspoon of APV, one teaspoon of onion juice, and 30 ml of water. Sunspots should disappear altogether within two weeks. 

You can also apply ACV to burns or swelling.  It will work faster than ice. 

Dandruff can also be eliminated by applying ACV with a cotton ball on the hair root. You should keep ACV on hair for 30 minutes before you wash it out. You may also use it as a conditioner to increase hair shine and as a detangler. 

ACV in Prevention of Cancer

Apples and ACV contain substances that are anticarcinogenic: they are a valuable ally to have around and help fight free radicals in the body, which have been shown to be indicative in the formation of various cancers. Beta-carotene, found in apple cider vinegar, is a powerful antioxidant, which helps in neutralizing the free radicals, formed in our bodies through oxidation.
