Restarting on ACV

Late posting again, 3 months later (what's new anyway? Heehee!)

Sometime in April when R and I were in Singapore. I is 76 this year and she is still as fit as a fiddle, slim as always. Was talking to I about health and all when she mentioned that she drinks ACV every day to lower her blood sugar when I mentioned that I'm 90% cautious with adding sugar in my diet now. (I leave 10% for hidden sugars in outside food, in sauces ingredients which I can't control + chocolates) It triggered my memory of that yucky drink 😁

Then ads suddenly appeared in my feed and I saw this Taiso Apple Vinegar. Bought two boxes to try. At the same time while drinking this I was also taking my other supplements (another post another time) so this is very convenient. But still the cheapo me feels that if I had spent that much on this convenience, perhaps I can stretch my dollar by reverting back to drinking the mother drink.

Taiso’s apple vinegar looks so clear. Hmm…

Opened up my "keto box" in bomb shelter and saw an unopen Braggs apple cider vinegar. No idea how long ago I bought this second bottle. (I drank ACV when I was on keto, finished one yucky bottle and bought a second one, then I stopped keto so this is left unopen) Maybe and hopefully by aging this over the years until it becomes a grandmother, it might bring down the tangy-ness? Wishful thinking!   Really hate the taste. One day while I was strolling in Meidi-ya I decided to check if they carry. Perhaps .... since I love japanese cleaning products better, maybe japanese apple cider vinegar will taste better?  Haha! Stupid logic. It's much cleaner looking than Braggs.

I bought this. Maybe this is without the お母さん ? Have been drinking this since late May. Japanese or not it still taste as yucky.

look at this colour vs Taiso’s 

Then I started having questions. (1) Have I been getting the benefits of my sugar level lowered the last one month? (2) Is it necessary to have the お母さん in ACV? After checking, it is absolutely necessary to have that as that's where the enzymes and probiotics are. Click HERE for video link 

I think I'll just stop this and open up Braggs?

I chose to drink in the mornings, I'm afraid of getting gastric reflux when I sleep so avoid drinking in the night.  

Actually I do enjoy drinking kombucha but it doesn’t bring down blood sugar. No choice at this half-century age I need to take care of myself.
