Use Vinegar in Your Daily Diet and Stay Fit and Healthy for Life

Vinegar has an incredibly long and fascinating history with many very different uses developed over the years. It probably developed when someone left fruit to go bad or wine to turn sour until ultimately the fruit and wine turned into vinegar. As to uses, well they are as many and varied as the many very different types and flavours of vinegar and they include:
* Start your day with a glass of honey and warm water to which a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar has been added. This helps keep the body free of toxins and helps the skin stay spot and pimple free.

* If you don't fancy using vinegar with honey, try it with orange juice instead. Drink it every morning to help wake up your system.
* Use vinegar mixed with olive oil and a pinch of salt as a dressing for lettuce or sliced tomatoes.
* Use a sprinkling of vinegar over fatty foods like fish and chips to reduce fat and help you stay slim and healthy.
* Add white vinegar to water used to boil vegetables to keep them firm and flavoursome.
* Use vinegar in water used to boil pasta or rice and to help reduce starch levels and lower your calorie intake.
* A few teaspoonfuls of vinegar in a cup of hot water left to cool is a good remedy for a sore throat.
* Make your own cottage cheese by simmering a pint of fresh milk and at boiling point remove the pan from the heat for a few minutes to allow it to cool before adding a tablespoon of white vinegar. The end result will be curds and whey such as typify cottage cheese.
* Use vinegar, a cupful is sufficient, added to a tablespoon each of sugar and honey and boil until it reduces by fifty per cent. Add a little olive oil and some crushed garlic and a sprinkling of black pepper. Use the vinegar based end product to coat meat or vegetables before baking in the oven.
* Make cheap meat tender by soaking it in red or white vinegar and leaving it to stand overnight.
All of those tips, and countless more, not only make food more flavoursome but they can also help delay the onset of ailments associated with the aging process, such as memory loss and poor digestion.
