Cider vinegar is surprisingly good for you, according to health experts and long-term devotees.

You may shudder at the taste of vinegar — a surprising number of people, especially children, do — but it really is good for you.

Cider vinegar taken with meals will reduce your blood pressure just as it’s likely to rise.

A shot of the liquid, twice a day, cuts out cravings and helps the body digest food.

Cider vinegar is deemed preferable to other forms, like malt, wine and balsamic, because it is said to have added health benefits, such as antioxidants, as well as tasting sweeter, rendering it more palatable.

It can be bought in good grocery stores, or unfiltered in health food shops.
