Use of Apple Cider Vinegar for Lowering High Blood Presure ?

YES! Check out my other posts. In a nutshell, my dad SWEARS by garlic & Apple cider. He adds these 2 into almost all of his foods. He actually drinks a teaspoonful of apple cider every morning. He's been weaned off comletely of one of his meds, and his other bp med has been reduced to 25 mg once a day. Not bad at all! He also has a treadmill & a medical device called the resperate to help lower his blood pressure. ANYTHING to avoid pills!!!

My grandmother told me about that old home remedy of Apple Cider Vinger to lower blood pressure. Make sure your not buying the one that's used for cooking, because that's very harsh on the stomach. Health food stores and places like GNC have the drinking kind, that called apple cider vinegar mother's core. And they also have the herbal pills. Try drinking it daily with lots of water, and try to get that bottom number down some more.

The explanation is farely simple. Apple pectin is a natural circulatory health boost. It helps your body clean its own veins and arteries out. Vinegar is a natural metabolism boost, its very acidic, so your body speeds up the metabolic process to get the vinegar out of the stomach (thats how all metabolic medicines work). You could get the same result from eating a couple apples with a chili pepper too. Or apple with Guarana extract. Vinegar is just very soft on the stomach. The higher metabolism gets the apple pectin moving quick through your body because of increased blood flow, therefore delivering more pectin to more areas before it has time to decay. This same method also helps in weight loss, because as your metabolic rate speeds up your body needs sufficient energy to boost itself, using carbohydrate reserves(fat) to fuel the fire. In the process reducing the amount of reserve needing to be maintained, which reduces strain on the heart.

In other words, Apple cider vinegar is probably the best method for health and circulatory control. An apple a day keeps a heart attack away.

I suggest getting the tablet extract form. I get mine at wal-mart, target, any health food store anywhere. Its listed as a weight loss diet, but don't think its anything like ephedrine. Far different. Its a lot easier to carry around and take, plus I always found it pretty hard to swallow down any type of vinegar. Mind you eating a real apple and drinking real vinegar is the method with the best results. The tablet form works for me. Anyway. Hope I was of some help.

ACV isn't bad if you use a sweetener like Stevia. I have tried several flavors of it, and am currently using the Lemon drop flavor. Very nice and lemony. I buy mine from amazon grocery.

I take between 2teaspoons-1 tablespoon a few times a day. With the stevia (between 4-8 drops)and 8 ounces of water. I notice when I don't take it, that my joint pain comes back, so it also works as an anti-inflammatory.
Buy the Braggs brand or any other that show "Raw organic apple cider vinegar." You can buy it at most health food stores, Whole Foods, Wild Oats, even in some supermarkets 'health food' section.

Important note: If you take the ACV, do not take that aspirin a day. The ACV helps thin the blood, the way the aspirin does, so you don't need both. And long term use of the aspirin a day makes the stomach bleed, and that's never good.
