Don't Believe the Hype: Reject the Vinegar Diet

Please do not drink vinegar to lose weight quickly. Your stomach has natural acids to kill bacteria from food and break food down biochemically. Your body defends itself naturally against everything, including the food you feel guilty about eating from your past, present, and future. There are bacteria in your gut that are normal to have and which survive in extreme acidity.

The main acid within your stomach is hydrochloric acid (HCl). Hydrochloric acid is seething. Hydrochloric acid must be handled in a safe laboratory with protective gear and equipment. I have conducted experiments with hydrochloric acid (HCl). It is the strongest acid and is neutralized with the strongest base, sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Salt water is the reaction product (H2O and NaCl).

Vinegar (acetic acid) is a weaker acid and therefore is not as seething. However, it is counterproductive and a blatant fraud. Alkaline nutrition choices react with acidic nutrition to enhance byproducts in the chemical family of salt water. Therefore, excessive bloating and dehydration occur. This amplifies when sugary soft drinks and salty food choices are the primary choices of thirst and hunger. This amplifies among residents near salt water. Medicine is reinvented to make money and to have health care personnel be seen as medical saviors. Money mills of academia lower standards of licensure through fields of nutrition and recreation.

I helped a misinformed woman who was stressed due to her son with Crohn’s Disease through diet. I may not have an MD or Ph.D. title next to my name (Rachel Mareshah, B.S. in Health/Physical Education from Monmouth University — soon to be M.S in Nutrition from Adelphi University for believing in myself — woo hoo!), but I feel alive manifesting my passion of health, nutrition, and writing.

It was always obvious. I contributed ideas to my favorite teen and young adult magazine JUMP® when I was 12. This magazine combatted feminine insecurities that made me happy and proud to be an athletic bibliophile that loves natural health, natural beauty, and dressing up with bright floral dresses one moment and bright Under Armour gear the next.

As a preteen, I helped others that were older. The readers were officially teenagers and college females. They solely and sadly asked questions about insecurity cover-ups, drama with crushes, and fake friends. I asked a featured question about what colors look good on me as a Jamaican American with golden brown skin. They answered gold and lilac. Gold made me feel like a winner due to my gold medals from relay races. The Color Purple [literary, theatric, and cinematic pun intended] validated my pride in my history and love myself. This amplified their already present acceptance, sensitivity, and love for various females and never selling a prototype cosmetic, aesthetic, and co-dependent image of perfection.

Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla were advice columnists in a teen-friendly manner. Celebrities were humanized instead of glamorized. It, unfortunately, changed its optimistic message to Keep Up with the Joneses. Publishing houses discouraged optimism and truth. Sex unfortunately sells and it’s tragic. Look at your life span development for signs and clues. Embrace your niche and never compare yourself to anyone.

Ethics, morals, and values come into play. Therefore, this is an element of etiology of my psychological troubles. I was taking courses with resident doctors. I left medical technology school for this reason. I played flag football on weekends to cope with the stress of life or death within a facility. My mentor within the program loves to surf and got me excited about his Hardcore Surfer’s oatmeal recipe. I love to swim and always wanted to try surfing as a Mozambican (Southeastern African coast)-Jamaican-Jersey Shore woman.

I am grateful for the experiences to enhance comprehension of the theory and application behind laboratory science. I proudly say I know nutrition at the molecular level. I had fun, met wonderful people, and enhanced my wisdom and knowledge. The beauty of life is that things manifest outside of yourself and work out in your favor when you embrace strength, courage, knowledge, wisdom, and power within yourself. Therefore, you attract others that are conducive to your healing and stability. (Law of Attraction = Oh La La Life)

Feel free to ask a question associated with health, nutrition, and recreation. I am just more irritable if hungry or in the middle of my prospective recommended Nutrition Graduate School literature [I am submerged in “Gulp” by New York Times Best Selling Author Mary Roach -- a scientific yet sarcastic delight -- a true work of language art!] so do not take it personally.
