Aside from being a perfect salad dressing, vinegar has several other surprising uses and benefits that extend past its delicious taste.
Just like baking soda, which has its own wide range of uses outside the kitchen, vinegar can be used for much more.
Apple cider vinegar, especially, is a product that doctors are recommending for a variety of purposes. According to heart surgeon and television personality Dr. Oz, organic apple cider vinegar helps with sore throats, heartburn, and even wart removal.
In 1958, Dr. D.C. Jarvis released a book called Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctor's Guide to Good Health, in which he explored his belief that mixing apple cider vinegar with honey could aid in weight loss and cure illnesses like arthritis and the common cold.
In addition to apple cider vinegar's health benefits, other types of vinegar are also very effective when it comes to cleaning the house and maintaining beauty.
Another plus: vinegar is cheap and sold in local grocery stores.
