  • ​ Make Your Own Apple Cider Vinegar
    ​ Make Your Own Apple Cider Vinegar Once you know the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar, you may want to try making your own at home. Apple Cider Vinegar is known to be high in phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. It is also valuable in preventing heartburn and in helping with digestion. Apple Cider Vinegar is also beneficial for the skin. Adding a little to your bath can help to ​ naturally restore the skin’s pH. It can also kill off bacteria and fungus on the skin which are the cause of many skin problems including eczema and dandruff. You can also use it as a substitute for conditioner after you shampoo. Just a few things to keep in mind: ● For the best results, use organic apples. This way you’ll know they are free from pesticides which can interfere with fermentation. You can also use leftover peels and cores if you have them. ● What is the best apple to use? Try a variety! Some of the more popular varieties you could try are Gala, Granny Smith, Fuji, Honeycrisp, and McIntosh. ● Use very clean containers washed in hot, soapy water. Not doing so could cause bad bacteria being added to your ACV which can result in mold growth. ● You will be making ACV that is unfiltered and unpasteurized. Because of this, your ACV will contain what is known as “mother”. This is strands of proteins, friendly bacteria,and ​ enzymes that develop during the fermentation process in the vinegar. This causes the ​ ​ ACV to have a murky or cloudy appearance but it’s nothing to worry about.

  • French-Style Pork Chops with Apples and Calvados
    FROM SHOW NO. 428 FRENCH-STYLE PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND CALVADOS SERVES 4 We prefer natural pork, but if the pork is enhanced (injected with a salt solution), decrease the salt in step 1 to ½ teaspoon per chop. To ensure that they fit in the skillet, choose apples that are approx- imately 3 inches in diameter. Applejack or regular brandy can be used in place of the Calvados. Before flambéing, be sure to roll up long shirtsleeves, tie back long hair, and turn off the exhaust fan and any lit burners. Use a long match or wooden skewer to flambé the Calvados. The amount of vinegar to add in step 4 will vary depending on the sweetness of your cider. 4 (12- to 14-ounce) bone-in pork rib chops, 1 inch thick Kosher salt and pepper 4 Gala or Golden Delicious apples, peeled and cored 2 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces PHOTO CREDIT: CARL TREMBLAY 3 shallots, sliced Pinch ground nutmeg 5.

  • 12 Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar
    12 Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar 1. Improved Digestion Drinking apple cider vinegar in water can help to naturally improve your digestion. Take a tablespoon of ACV in a big glass of water around 15 minutes before a meal to stimulate digestive juices for better breakdown of your food. It’s important to use raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with the mother for this and all of the other health benefits listed below. The mother is the cloudy strings of naturally occurring pectin and proteins that form during fermentation. Filtered and pasteurized vinegars will not have this and lack the enzymes and other nutritional properties in raw ACV that have such a positive effect on the digestive process. Real apple cider vinegar, like this organic version I use, contains valuable minerals and trace elements, LDL cholesterol lowering pectin, fat burning acetic acid, anti-viral malic acid, live enzymes, amino acids and many other beneficial nutrients. When you drink apple cider vinegar regularly, ideally before each main meal, you digestion improves and you naturally begin assimilating more from your food. This can also reduce hunger and help with losing weight. 2. Heartburn, Intestinal Problems and Constipation Regular apple cider vinegar in water is believed to help correct low stomach acid conditions that leads to heartburn. Importantly, straight ACV is very strong and likely to be too powerful for heartburn sufferers, and especially those with ulcers, so make sure you dilute it well. Apple pectin fiber, found in the mother of raw and unfiltered apple cider vinegar, soothes the entire gastrointestinal tract, helping to prevent stomach cramps, bloating and gas.

    1 2 EFFECT OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (ACV) “WITH MOTHER” ON 3 PROGESTERONE, TESTOSTERONE, AND ESTROGEN OF WISTAR RATS.ON 4 ALBINO RAT. 5 6 ABSTRACT 7 Aim: Apple cider vinegar (ACV) with mother" has been singled out as an especially helpful 8 health remedy. This present research evaluated the effect of ACV ‘with mother’ on hormones 9 (testosterone, estrogen and progesterone) of Wistar rats. 10 Materials and method: Eighteen rats with average weight range of 120g were grouped into six 11 groups. Three groups served as the control for each week (week 1, 2 and 3) while the remaining 12 three groups were treated with 1ml of ACV twice daily. The animals were treated for a total of 13 21 days. After each week the animals in that group were sacrificed and laboratory analyses were 14 performed. 15 Results: After oral administration of the product, the results revealed significant reductions in a 16 time dependent manner with the highest reductions obtained on the last week of experiment. The 17 result obtained for estrogen showed significant reduction (p<0.05) in week one with test value 18 (7.74±0.19 mlU/ml) as compared to control (8.36±0.01 mlU/ml). For progesterone, there was an 19 increase (p<0.05).The highest test value was obtained in week 3, (3.64±0.08 mlU/ml) as 20 compared to control value (3.15±0.01 mlU/ml). However, there was also a reduction in 21 testosterone level. 22 Conclusion: In conclusion, ACV reduces the levels of estrogen and testosterone but increased 23 progesterone level of Wistar rats.
