I am going to go ahead and say that vinegar is a jack of all trades substance. For centuries people have used vinegar for cooking, cleaning, skin care, hair care and medicinally. Here are some facts we do know about vinegar and our health:
- Vinegar only contains 25 calories per half cup. It adds much needed zest and spice to many recipes with very little calories. It can replaces high fat foods like mayo.
- It increases insulin sensitivity for people with type 2 diabetes.
- Vinegar helps the body absorb calcium. Salads made with leafy greens and green veggies are chock full of calcium. Pour some vinegar on that salad and help aid your body in the absorption of calcium.
- Washing your produce in a mixture of water and vinegar gets rid of harmful chemicals.
