Well today my sinus are acting like rain...
It is not too warm out yet and there is a stiff breeze that twists and turns my skirt around. There are low hanging dark clouds too. We have a 20% chance of rain...
So far I have watered the garden, fed the kitties and cat and eaten cereal.
My friend GrammyGoo suggested I begin taking organic apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons once a day. Diluted in water with some stevia... I am trying, really.
Before I decided to try this i studied the benefits. Lower bp, which I need, lower cholesterol, which can not hurt and many other things. If I can just get past the smell, the burning in my throat and... oh yes the taste. My stomach is churning and and I have only had 2 swallows!
I got a chuckle out of the guy at GNC when I went to buy the vinegar.. He was really pushing a couple of supplement chews. I asked him if they had corn syrup in them. (new readers may not know but I am very sensitive to corn products, mostly corn syrup) He said he did not know then read the label and said yes, but they are so good for you... I said hon, if they have corn syrup they are not as good for you as you think they are.
If the President and his wife are as concerned about obesity in America as they claim, they need to follow other countries in banning the use of HFCS in things. Yes it is fine in moderation, but since it is in everything from lunch meat to saltines to juice, you can not get it in moderation. Banning HFCS would go a lot farther fixing the "health care crisis" they think we have than robbing folks to pay for other folks health care. HFCS can be linked to liver problems and obesity, plus other stuff. Get rid of it and we will be a healthier nation over all.
Gaaaaaaaaaaa this stuff is hard to drink, but if it works as well as it should I will suffer through. Those pills the dr gave me last year only made me ill.
Well time to get ready for work.
Have an awesome day ladies!
Hoping you are able to get past the initial gag reflex of drinking your special vinegar, Mel! I wonder if diluting it with more water would help eliminate some of the burning you're feeling?
ReplyDeleteWishing you a glorious week fill with much love, joy and His blessings!
Mel ~ Sometimes I will mix it with Organic Honey. I always add it to bottled water. So there are a bit more ounces in there than a glass try it that way sweetie and it will dilute it more.
ReplyDeleteHugs, and heres to you improved health daily!
Love & Prayers, Ella
P.S> Did you get the Bragg's Brand??? If you did not and just got regular it is not the right combo. Let me know if you cannot get it in your area and I will send you some dear.
Yes, I got the Braggs
ReplyDeleteAdding it to iced water with a teaspoon and a bit of stevia works fine.
Miss Maggie suggested the iced water.
