Honey & Vinegar = Can It Stop Hair Loss?



Recommended Posts

So about a month ago I was at dinner with my sister and I noticed her hands didn't look dry (she's always had super dry skin) and her hair looked fuller/thicker...so I reached over and grabbed her hair and said what the heck have you done to your hair?!? She said "oh I've been drinking honey and vinegar..didn't I tell you?". Ummmm - NO! So for the last 3 weeks I've been drinking it....sure enough thicker hair and softer skin!!! No joke. So here's the receipe 1 Tablespoon Trader Joes Organic Raw honey and 1 Tablespoon Trader joes Organic UNFILTERED Apple Cider Vinegar...add to a 6-8oz of hot/warm Water, stir in and enjoy. I tried other brands but I'm telling you Trader joes is the best and it has to be UNFILTERED vinegar. The vinegar alkalizes in the body which is where the health benefits come in.

I really wanted to share this with everyone and also ask...do you think I can continue to drink immediately after sleeved?...will the vinegar be too strong? I'm hoping this might help with hair loss/thinning???

I would say not immediately after you get sleeved, but ask your surgeon. While honey and vinegar are wonderful on their own, your sleeve may not handle them well while it's healing (6-8 weeks). Plus, they are mostly sugar/carbs and depending on your guidelines, you may be restricting those for the first 3 months or so. However, I can say I love vinegar in all varieties and use it multiple times a week in moderation. We make our own vinaigrette for salads and artichokes. It doesn't bother my sleeve at all! I still limit the honey intake to just use in marinades for fish and chicken, with a rare drizzle on plain greek yogurt with fruit.< /p>

Apple cider vinegar is used to help the stomach produce more acid. My earlier nutritionist prior to surgery had me drinking 2TB before a meal because it was assumed I made too little acid. Since most surgeons put you on an acid reducer for at least the first few months, the ACV may not be recommended. Ask him his thoughts.

I love it now because I still get full after just 2oz of meat but if I then have some homemade vinaigrette with veggies or salad, we're talking 1TB, it will open up my appetite a little to get all my Protein in.

Just an FYI, my Hair loss has been very, very minimal. It's more like some thinning, but only I notice.

This is an old remedy for all kinds of ailments. My dad used honey and vinegar for his rheumatoid arthritis 40 years ago. Didn't do any good, but he tried.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
