Day 1- Apple Cider Vinegar

Over the last few days, from the various journals I have picked up to read, apple cider vinegar has been referenced.  After seeing this several times, I became intrigued and started to conduct my own research.  After all, Hippocrates in 400 BC treated his patients with apple cider vinegar due to its healing qualities.
I searched Pub med and sure enough, there are several reviews on apple cider vinegar having effects on glucose metabolism, reducing cholesterol and there have been a few studies on apple cider vinegar and weight loss. I have also read that it maintains the body's pH. 
So, I decided to start an experiment on myself and see what happens. I am going to track my energy, mental clarity and digestion. By the way, I often try a therapy before I recommend it to someone else.
As the heading implies, this was day one; Preparation is 2 teaspoons into 8 oz of water.  I drank a glass when I awoke, mid-morning and then again mid-afternoon.  As a result I felt my energy, mental clarity and digestion great all day.  At about 5:00 I started to slow down, however, I did have a busy day. 
Until tomorrow.....
