THE REAL REASON APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WORKS FOR LOSING WEIGHT

Hey, Dr. Berg here. In this video, we're going to talk about apple cider vinegar. What are the benefits? What are the myths? First of all, here's the myth that apple cider vinegar contains a lot of nutrients. It really doesn't have a lot of vitamin A, it doesn't have a lot of vitamin C, it doesn't have a lot of minerals. What it does have is something even more important. In fact, the real reason why apple cider vinegar works for so many conditions has to do with this one thing it has called acetic acid. That's an acid. The reason why it works is, and this might go against a lot of philosophies out there, is that the body, most bodies that I come, I check in my office over many, many years, are way too alkaline. Now I know that goes against maybe what you've heard that everyone's too acid, but that's not true. You really have to, when you talk about pH, you really have to understand that every part of your body has a different pH. If someone says, "Oh yeah, you're too acid." What pH are you talking about the urine? Are you talking about the saliva? The real true indicator of pH for a body should be in the blood, but it's very difficult to test that because as soon as you take the blood out of the body, it oxidizes and it can change the pH right away. It's very expensive to determine that. You have to go by symptoms. If you ever wanted to really now, just look up in, I don't know, Google it, all the conditions for two acid, called acidosis, and look up for the conditions of alkylosis in all those symptoms. You'll be able to see which ones you have and you can determine based on those two factors. What we're talking about is the blood pH here. Most people have a blood pH, which is excessively alkaline. Yes, it's true that your blood should be slightly alkaline, but in this situation it becomes even too alkaline. That's why I've said it works so well because it changes. If you change the pH of your body just a slightly, just a slight bit, you can create huge effects because the pH is so important in transporting minerals and allowing enzymes to work, to stimulate the thyroid, to increasing metabolism, all these things. Let's just take a deeper look at this one acid, acetic acid. The pH of acetic acid is very acidic. It's 2.5. That's like almost like stomach acid, pH. It's way down there. It's really good for the stomach. People take it for heartburn. By the way, heartburn acid reflux in the digestion, that is a condition where your stomach is too alkaline. The valve on top does not close. I know people say it's too much acid. No, it's not. In fact, if you have acid reflux or heartburn, just take some absolute vinegar and see how much better you feel. You'll feel wonderful because the valve will start closing on the top and the acid won't start regurgitating up through that valve. It's good for gurd acid reflux in the digestion. As you age, especially over the age of 50, 60, 70, your pH and your stomach starts going higher and higher and higher. It becomes more and more alkaline. You need more acid as you age to be able to digest protein and absorb minerals because if your pH is too alkaline, which most people have a problem with too much alkaline, they can't absorb calcium. They can't absorb minerals like they used to. What happens, especially with calcium, calcium starts building up in the soft tissues throughout the body. You have the soft tissue calcification. You see the people getting older, they're getting stiff. They have arthritis per cytos. They get calcium developing on the eyes. There's cataracts. The joints are arthritis. The nerves are arthritis. The gallbladder is gallstones. The teeth is tartar. That could come from a pH problem. It's an alkylosis, a systemic alkylosis, which is your whole body is too alkaline. One of the things that I like to do is make sure they're taking the fat sample vitamins to transport that calcium out like vitamin D and K2. In this video, we're going to talk about the pH piece of this thing. It's called the alkaline state. It has to do with this in this book. It's called Cibola Encyclopedia of Endocrineology, Volume 4, Frank Nitter, MD. This is one of the main books that is used in medical schools. It's a great physiology book to help you get some of the facts and how the body works. Right here, if you look on the page that talks about high cortisol, that's the stress hormone, it's high stress, high cortisol, causes alkylosis. It makes your body too alkaline. Unless you don't live on planet earth, you might not have this problem. Most people I know live on planet earth, they have a lot of stress. Their body's become too alkaline over time. The worst thing you could do is start drinking alkaline waters. It's okay to drink water that's already alkaline, but don't try to alkalize it to at 8 or 9 because you're going to make your body worse. Then you won't be able to absorb calcium and things like that. With the adrenal, like stress in high cortisol, you become too alkaline and you lose this little thing called H+. If you ever take calcium, I'm sorry, chemistry, you'll notice that H+ is an acid. In other words, the adrenal causes you to lose acid through the urine and become too alkaline. Here's all the effects that stress can create. Now, climbody, which then blocks calcium. You have all this calcium that plugs up everything, but it's unavailable to you. You start getting the twitch on the left eye. You ever notice when people get stressed, they start twitching. Do you know why that is? Because it changes the pH and the person can absorb calcium. This is a calcium deficiency. You can take calcium, but if the pH isn't right, it won't work. The best thing to do if you have that twitch is to drink outside of vinegar. The problem dropped the pH to make more acidic. The calcium gets mobilized and the twitch goes away. Cramping in the calf, outside of vinegar is the best thing to mobilize the calcium and get rid of cramping in your calf. Nerve pain, neuritis, especially like migrating pain with arthritis that may be able to move from this joint to this joint to this joint. Oh my gosh, give them an opposite of vinegar, they are happy. So with stress, you become too alkaline, you lose acid, and you lose potassium. The only reason I'm bringing up this potassium, which is a little extra thing, is that alkaline bodies tend to have a potassium loss. Then when you lose potassium, you actually make the person more alkaline. They kind of work together. People say, well, drink outside of vinegar to increase your potassium. That's not what's going to do it. But if vinegar will help increase your potassium because you'll stop losing the potassium, and you'll make the body more acidic, and like it should be. So that will help the potassium. Just think about, look at this, potassium deficiency, high blood pressure, constipation, feeling of weakness, fatigue, irregular heartbeats. When you hear these claims about the upside of vinegar, curing all these different things, high blood pressure, constipation, weakness, irregular heartbeats, it's because of the retention of the potassium, because the chain reaction that occurs after getting the pH in the correct level. People that drink a lot of protein drinks, or they eat too much protein, let's say they do the acinstide, or they're doing this high protein diet, what happens, there's the waste from that protein, it's called guanadine, it's a chemical, very, very, very, very alkaline. Okay? And so that can cause twitching, nerve pain, and a lot of arthritis. Even when you do like the ketosis diet, and you're doing more protein, you may feel stiff, you might feel more arthritic, drinks some outside of vinegar, it flushes this thing out so nicely. Apple side of vinegar is the antidote to the residue of high protein, too much protein for your liver and your body, so it's a really good cleanser. So this acid, upset of vinegar, helps absorb minerals, helps mobilize calcium, helps you digest protein better without the waste, it helps the immune system, and that's the last thing I want to talk about. You've heard that people will take apple, like vitamin C for a cold, right, or for a virus infection. It's not the vitamin C necessarily that's creating the big effect because most people aren't even taking vitamin C, they're taking vitamin C look alike, or a fake vitamin C called the scorbic acid, which is not really true vitamin C complex, which I'll again all have people disagree on this video. Because you can make synthetic vitamin C from a scorbic acid and cornstarch. Well, first of all, corn has no vitamin C. Scorbic acid is no vitamin C. How can you take two things that don't have vitamin C, mix them together and make a scorbic acid and think that's vitamin C? It's just, it's fake. The real benefit of vitamin C or a scorbic acid is the acid. You'd be much better taking the acetic acid to help your immune system. If you get a cold, if you have a fever, viral infection, start taking the upside of vinegar. It's really, really important. So these are the true benefits of upside of vinegar because it is acidified in alkaline body. So in the next section, I'm just going to show you a little concoction that I make and I drink on a regular basis. Okay, so let me show you how to make this. [BLANK_AUDIO] in my book chapter 10 it's called the cranberry drink it should be called the opposite of vinegar drink very simple and you really should try this because it will help you lose weight if you drink one of these before you ate three times a day you would lose a lot more weight because it stimulates the thyroid and it satisfies the stomach the only thing that I would recommend if you if you have a very slow metabolism as you may want to omit the cranberry juice so you get the brags upside of vinegar I like this the best and simply teaspoon in some water actually do two two teaspoons in the water before each meal and some people say don't consume water before a meal but we're sitting which is an acid drink so it's going to help stomach acids but check this out this is my favorite lemon juice Italian volcano lemon juice organic lemon juice and this stuff is magical it's wonderful and you get it from the health of store it's grown on these these soils where these the volcanic ash fertilize the soil so you just do a teaspoon of this lemon right here you don't have to use this lemon juice you can use other lemon juice you can use lemons I like that lemon juice because I'm spoiled cranberry juice make sure you read the back of label and it just comes from whole cranberries because some people get the one that has extra grape juice or apple juice you don't want that just do a teaspoon of this and basically this is your drink now I like to and this is just me you don't have to do this you can add some ginger and there's some ginger root that you can shred in there and it makes it a little spicy I basically have this ginger extract that you can get it's a liquid form it's like ginger juice and you put a little ginger it's real spicy there's a lot of great properties it's a very good tonic again if you can't stand the taste chances are you probably don't need it okay if you really need it you will crave it and it makes you feel better but I really want you to try this real simple drink this before you eat and watch how much better you feel okay so go ahead and do this and give me some comments below I'll see you in the next video
