drink a shot of apple cider vinegar and another shot of olive oil every day?

[Anonymous]

I was vacation at a town in Greece last month and everyone drinks a shot of apple cider vinegar and olive oil every morning. Everyone there claims that it is very good for the body. Has anyone in DCUM done this?

Plus a heaping tablespoon of sauerkraut (a living food).

Sure, but I always wonder what is the difference between a shot of vinegar and vinegar in your salad? Or olive oil in your salad? Lemon water? Is it the same as squeezing ton of lemon on my fish when I eat it? I mean it all ends up in the same place right? Why shots?

My neighbor does the sauerkraut thing. His doc him about it. He eats just a tablespoon a day. The guy is in his 70s and looks 60. I bought a can of it but haven't had the nerve -- the stuff is gross to me.

I tried the apple cider vinegar thing a few times and threw up more than once -- ick!

Do they mix it or drink it separately?

Don't get canned. Get live, living sauerkraut from the refrigerated section of whole foods. You need the live cultures.

Just mix it with liquor. Shot a day!

What is this supposed to do? I LOVE sauerkraut and buy the fresh to put on hotdogs occasionally. Should I be eating more of it? I'd totally be down with a tablespoon of sauerkraut and a nibble of hotdog with mustard daily if it's good for me! ha

Is it because they are constipated due to lack of fiber in their diet?

Why sauerkraut? Does yogurt work?

DP. Sauerkraut is good for your gut flora, probiotics and vitamin K2. I ate it back in Europe when grandma made it for winter, it was a staple. And you know this kombucha craze? We drank the sour water from our sauerkraut and I loved it! And it didn't' cost me $4 per tiny jar!

Sauerkraut is so salty that I have to rinse it well in a strainer before I eat it.

Yogurt is also good - apparently the more living foods the better - yogurt, saurcraut, kimchi, fermented pickles (not just vinegar pickles) all have good microbes. Apparently all cultures have some fermented staple food - we have stopped eating them, though, and their replacements aren’t the same (ie canned sauerkraut is pasteurized and the microbes are dead).

Thank you!
