Vinegar is good food- no, really!
I came up with a small but useful new trick.
Plain old apple cider vinegar has a big reputation going back at least to Hippocrates for having many beneficial effects for the body. It has important anti-bacterial properties, it's good for your blood pressure and Ph, and will even help people on diuretics maintain their potassium balance. A teaspoon or two a day will do you a lot of good. I'm told that Heinz brand is said to have a particularly good chemistry. It's the cheapest medicine you can buy.
The problem is that it doesn't do ANY good if you don't take it, and vinegar generally rates as pretty nasty tasting to me. A few drops in a salad dressing now and again is ok, but I ain't swigging this stuff from the bottle. It is usually recommended to dilute it in a glass of water. However, this just means drinking a whole cup of really nasty tasting stuff. That just doesn't get it for me.
Here's my new trick: plain old tomato juice. A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar mixed with as little as four ounces of tomato juice becomes FAR more palatable. That's still a little strong, but that's about enough that it tastes halfway decent. You may wish to use a whole glass of juice. I'm guessing that V8 will do just as well.
I wouldn't think that I'm the first person ever to come up with this simple trick, but I see no such recommendations scouting around the web. Maybe I'm just a genius.
Anyhow, mixed as a tomato juice/vinegar tonic, I might actually manage to regularly enough consume vinegar to get the benefit. Perhaps you might find this useful as well.
