How to Treat High Cholesterol With Vinegar

High cholesterol is a problem for many people. Some with high cholesterol are not able to take prescribed medications to lower their cholesterol due to side effects. These people or people who do not want to take medications to lower their cholesterol may look for alternatives to help with their treatment plan. You may have one helpful treatment right in your pantry--apple cider vinegar.

Things You'll Need

• Apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. Purchase a bottle of apple cider vinegar.

2. Take approximately two Tbsp. a day of the apple cider vinegar. Be aware that it has a very strong unpleasant taste if you plan to swallow it.

3. Add the apple cider vinegar to a glass of juice to help with flavoring if you find the vinegar alone is too difficult to swallow.

4. Try mixing the apple cider vinegar with a tablespoon of honey to help disguise the taste.

5. Pour your two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar on your salad if you are using oil and vinegar based dressing. You'll never even notice the difference from your regular dressing.

• All persons with high cholesterol should be monitored by their doctor while using apple cider vinegar or any other alternative treatments to be sure that they are progressing as expected.
