Question 6

hi, if i cannot eat fruits like apple and watermelon, will juicing them (in a blender) reduces the health benefits? thanks

Accepted Answer

Fruit Sugar: There are no health benefits for these common fruits. Their calories are 100% sugars.  What benefits do you think you will be missing if you juice them?

Question 7

medically, does drinking apple cider vinegar have any benefits?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Apple cider vinegar or any other vinegar isn't needed for good health, nor for life in general. Apple cider vinegar is not an FDA approved medication, so its effects and side effects are mostly uncertain (due to a lack of clear research). As with everything else in life, too much can become a bad thing. That means a little bit of any vinegar a day might be fine, but taking a lot can hurt the body.

Question 8

i need to know more on the benefits of acidophilus capsules and apple cider vinegar?

Accepted Answer

To fix bloating?: Over what period of time have you noted the swelling--minutes or months, and what are your underlying medical problems (alcohol, liver &amp;/or gut disease). As to your question: There is considerable value to probiotics like Acidophilus (see prior HealthTap answers on the subject); not so much with apple cider vinegar, for anything.

Question 9

i've heard apple cider vinegar has many health benefits. is this true? what are these benefits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in moderation: Vinegar, including apple cider vinegar, lowers post-prandial glycemia by 20%. This appears to be due to vinegars effect of slowing gastric emptying. Just 2 teaspoons before meals is the effective dose. **Avoid vinegar pills as they have been associated with esophageal injury....their pH and contents are not standardized. Avoid large dose of apple cider vinegar as  it can cause hypokalemia.

Question 10

i have gastritis, is it okay to consume the following items: avocados, garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, apple cider?

also in what ways should they be prepared or used to maximize their benefit or at least minimize the bad effects?

Accepted Answer

Okay except: Everything should be okay except the vinegar. The vinegar has a lot of acid in it and it would be irritating to the stomach. Best to avoid that. Everything else should be okay.
