They say an apple a day keeps the dr away for a reason. \n\nHigh in fiber, helps you in the ol digestive tract.\n\nPlenty of vitamins: A, C, potassium, pectin\n\nThey are about 85% water so they help you stay hydrated\n\nThey are naturally good for your teeth and gums because their texture naturally helps to clean your teeth and the skin can naturally clear between some teeth as well. Not a substitute for brushing though. LOL\n\nThey are just about the perfect fruit next to bananas. Enjoy!

According to Kevin Tredeau it has many health benefits, one that I like is wieght loss, it seems to have an nice effect on on the digestive system, from what I read in his book "natural cures they don't want you to know about". I've been taking one tablespoon twice daily & have noticed better digestion, my stomach has thanked me for it! No more upsets.\nHope you get some positive results.\nYou should only use organic unrefined extra virgin.

I've used them.  They work really well at flushing out your system, and can be beneficial not only toward weight loss, but may have some benefits toward treating minor arthitis.  One complaint is that it can make urine smell really pungent from the vinegar.  Other than that, the pills are not bad.

Hi there here are some benefits for you.\n\n \n\nThe Benefits of Cod Liver Oil\n \n\nBlood flow – may be aided by EPA and DHA, discouraging blood platelets from sticking together.\n\nBlood pressure – EPA and DHA may help reduce this.\n\nCoronary Heart Disease – risk may be reduced if regular intakes are given.  Research has shown that it reduces the likelihood of blood clotting, makes the heart less prone to arrhythmias (irregular heart beats).  It alters the balance of blood fats in a favourable way and reduces the viscosity of blood, thereby faciliting blood flow.\n\nBones and Teeth – require vitamin D to maintain their strength.  Cod Liver Oil is a good source of vitamin D.\n\nVision – Vitamin A is essential for the formation of visual purple (for night vision).\n\nHealthy Skin and Mucous Membranes – CLO is rich in Vitamin A, the large amount present is beneficial for skin and mucous membranes.\n\nPregnancy – Omega 3 fatty acids are important for the brain development of the foetus.\n\nArthritis – Improvements in the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis have been reported in patients taking fish oil supplements.\n\n \n\nProperties\n \n\nCod Liver Oil contains:-\n\nVitamin A, which is essential for the immune system, bone growth, night vision, cellular growth, testicular and ovarian function.\n\nVitamin D, which is essential for the absorption and utilisation of calcium and potassium, which are required for skeletal growth.\n\nEPA and DHA, omega 3 fatty acids, which are converted in the body to produce prostaglandins that affect a wide variety of physiological processes due to their modulating effect on the action of hormones.  It is thought that EPA and DHA may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.  DHA seems essential for normal brain development in unborn babies.\n\n \n\nContra-indications/Precautions\n \n\nCod Live Oil is probably best avoided by pregnant women, asthmatics, diabetics and people taking anti-coagulants, such as Warfarin.\n\nFish oils can cause nausea when taken initially.  It can be lessoned taking them with meals.\n\nHoped this helps.\n\nCraig - Naturopath.

I mix about 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a little glass of water.  It works fast and amazingly well.  My mom always hands out peppermint candy when someone complains of heartburn.  Also, chew chew chew your food really well as digestion actually begins in the mouth.  Drinking too much liquid with your food can dilute your stomach acid.

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are found in milk, lemon juice, vinegar, blackberries, grapes, oranges, tomatoes, and apple juice exfoliate the skin by dissolving the glue that holds dead skin cells together. \n\nThey cleanse the top layer of skin, allowing the body's natural emollient oils to reach the surface cells and help moisturize and relieve dryness. They help cleanse oily skin and remove blackheads. \n\nAHA chemical peels of between 20 and 70 percent acidity are available from some doctors, but they are so strong they can leave scars, and the FDA believes that these strong peels could expose the skin to an increased risk of sunburn. \n\nThe ingredients such as organic apple cider vinegar, is an all-natural AHA that you can use at home (avoid the eyes), has seven percent acidity, and is a safe and sure way to get the benefit of fruit acids without danger to the skin (although even at this low level, you should be aware of the increased risk of sunburn). \n\nThe benefits of homemade fruit acids become evident as soon as you start using them; your skin starts feeling soft and smooth. \n\nTo my skin's great benefit I squeeze a lemon once a week and keep its juice in the refrigerator. In the morning, I dab some of the juice on my fingers and pat it onto my face, leave it on for ten minutes or so and then rinse.

Sometimes the vinegar in the salad dressing is known to aid in digestion.  Vinegar will also release more of the protein and vitamins in the meat and other foods.  Search vinegar on Yahoo.  \nDon't know what to tell you about the other.  Possibly try Citricel.
