ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

D. C. Jarvis

DC Jarvis was a doctor a long time ago who really liked apples and making natural remedies to help people feel better. He thought that apple cider vinegar, which is made from apples, was super special and could help with all kinds of health problems. He wrote a whole book about it!

Dr. Jarvis believed that apple cider vinegar could balance the acid in your tummy and help you digest your food better. He said if you added it to your salad dressing or drank a little bit before you ate, it could make you feel good and give you lots of energy.

Dr. Jarvis also thought that apple cider vinegar could help with things like sore throats, coughs, and even trouble sleeping. He said you could mix it with honey or water and drink it to soothe these problems.

Lots of people still use apple cider vinegar today because they think Dr. Jarvis was right! But it's always important to talk to a grown-up or doctor first before adding anything new to your diet, just to be safe.
