Two tablespoons of vinegar with a cup of water before a meal is very good for weight loss\nvinegar could help to burn fat and loose weight. The acid brings the stomach to a better work and you burn fat. But be sure, that the vinegar is not taken before you have anything eaten. Do not take vinegar before your breakfast. \n\nApple cider vinegar in particular is often touted as a medical aid, from cancer prevention to alleviation of joint pain to weight loss\nApple cider vinegar (ACV) is a much more useful astringent than ice and will reduce inflammation, bruising and swelling in approximately a third of the time that ice will take. Application is directly onto the skin with a flannel, and left on for an hour or so.

Apple Cider Vinegar\n \n\nUse this diuretic in small quantities. You can add it to your salad as a dressing. What makes this such a powerful diuretic is this: It is made from apples and the malic acid in apples will create a fat burning process. Another factor with this vinegar is the fermentation process causes the vinegar to have constructive acids that join with alkaline elements and minerals in the body. This produces a cell scrubbing effect. \n\nIt also contains high levels of potassium, which has an antisceptic quality to that helps to eliminate fat deposits. \n\nBut like with anything, you should use it in moderation. :)

Garlic helps maintain healthy cholestorol, using mono-unsaturated oils in cooking (like olive and canola) can help raise LDL and lower HDL. Oatmeal, eatten regularly can actually help lower HDL.\n\nAlso eatting fish high in escential fatty acids, like Salmon, Yellow Fin Tuna, Swordfish...etc, can also help lower HDL.

I'm afraid the vitamins will not affect LDL levels at all. Soluble fiber helps drop cholesterol level, as do very large doses of niacin (Vitamin B3), but vitamins E & C are anti-oxidants that help quench free radicals & they don't really do anything with cholesterol.

Citrus Fruits (acidy ones like grapefruit, oranges, etc...) as well as pickles (and anything else with a lot of vinegar, if there is anything else with vinegar) work really well!

• Prevent heart disease. The risk for heart attack and stroke may be reduced with this potent antioxidant, which is believed to prevent the plaque development that can clog arteries. A recent study of 38 smokers indicates that PCOs may function as effectively as aspirin in keeping blood cells from sticking together and forming blood clots (called an anticoagulant effect). And the PCOs posed no risk of the gastrointestinal irritation or bleeding generally associated with aspirin. Interestingly, another preliminary study using grape seed oil (which is related to grape seed extract) indicates that using 2 tablespoons a day to replace other oils in cooking could increase HDL ("good") cholesterol by 14% and reduce triglycerides by 15% in just four weeks. \n\n• Minimize fibromylagia damage. Fibromyalgia is an elusive disorder associated with chronic muscle pain and stiffness. The antioxidant power of grape seed extract can help by protecting besieged muscle cells from damage.\n\n• Deter cancer. The antioxidants in grape seed extract work hard at helping to control cellular damage, routinely hunting down and neutralizing mutations within the genetic material of cells that could lead to tumor formation. The development and progression of cancers of the lung, breast, stomach, prostate, colon, skin and other body parts may be stalled as a result. \n\n• Fight skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema. Certain components within the skin--collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid--participate in keeping it healthy. PCOs help keep these substances in good shape by blocking enzymes that might disrupt their chemical structure. In this way, grape seed extract may be useful in treating inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis. Its flavonoids also inhibit allergic reactions that can generate such skin problems as eczema. \n\n• Slow progression of macular degeneration and cataracts. Grape seed extract improves blood flow in the eye's tiny vessels, where certain eye diseases can cause blockages and impairments that result in vision damage. Cataracts are an example. The extract's antioxidant powers are of particular value in warding off the free-radical damage so frequently cited as the leading cause of macular degeneration. \n\n• Lessen allergy symptoms. As a natural antihistamine, grape seed extract may help to control the sneezing, congestion and other hallmarks of an allergic reaction. The extract also inhibits the release of chemicals called prostaglandins that can generate inflammation during an allergic response. Working in concert, the nutrient's antihistamine and anti-inflammatory actions can help to keep at bay such allergic responses as hives, hay fever and eczema. \n\n• Ease eye strain. People who stare at computer monitors for extended periods may benefit from taking grape seed extract. The findings of one recent study indicate that 300 mg, taken daily, will ease eyestrain and enhance perception of contrast after just 60 days.\n\nNote: Grape seed extract has also been found to be useful for a number of other disorders.

Try Flax Seed Oil. Its full of Omega 3 fatty acids and it tastes like grape juice. you can buy it in pill form, liquid form or oil form where you can add it to salads and what not.

Although many claims have been made for Apple cider vinegar as an aid in weight loss and fat burning, there is no significant scientific evidence to support this claim. Apple cider vinegar is a solution of acetic acid produced by fermentation of apples. It consists of acid and water and only relatively small quantities of minerals. Although, it does contain a fair amount of Pectinicon, which has recently been identified as lowering cholesterol and may be the secret behind it's fat burning effects.\n\nHowever, there are literally thousands of people over the years who swear by it and testimonials abound.  Apple cider vinegar has been claimed to relieve arthritis stiffness, sore throats, acne and other skin problems, remove liver spots, reduce cholesterol, promote good blood circulation, prevent dandruff, sooth sunburn, lower blood pressure, relieve headaches, improve digestion and burn fat.  The lack of significant scientific evidence, only indicates that not enough studies have been conducted. The recent return in popularity of this diet is now sparking interest in several studies.
