To some, an acidic digestive system promotes disease and sluggish metabolism. I personally drink alkaline water a few times a day..and also drink ACV when I can't get my water.
You can read about this on the net.. I suggest you google Dr. Axe Apple Cider Vinegar and read that. There are a host of other things it does too. Like it kills foot fungus.. and if you soak you feet in it.. all your callouses come right off.. It balances the PH of skin.. the list goes on and on. Just google.
Dr Axe is a quack. And no way to the bolded. There's not way to change the body's pH, and if you could, it would mean death.4 -

Huh. 'Nuff said.5 -

Authority Nutrition is right up there with Dr. Oz as far as reliable, evidence-based nutritional information.
The headline to that article says "6 proven health benefits". Then when you read it, they're not actually "proven" at all. Nothing more than clickbait pseudoscience.7 -
I don't know whether using it on a regular basis helps or not. But I do know this from experience: If you use Braggs (the raw unfiltered good stuff) it helps with acid reflux, some minor allergies, as an antiseptic/astringent, colds, sore throat, congestion, and topically for quite a few conditions. If I was to recommend it on a regular basis, here's how I'd use it: small amount (1tsp-1tbsp) with water and/or honey with or after a big meal to aid in digestion and stabilize blood sugar.1

Unless you use it for cooking
Or cleaning your copper pots!!2 -
I use it to rinse my produce after grocery shopping. All fruits and vegetables dunked in about 2 quarts of water to 2 tablespoons of ACV. Helps clean them of residue and they stay fresh longer.1

as other have said the body fights super hard to keep the ph level the same.
I use vinegar to clean and for bug spray. Our house is on a canyon so we get all the fun poisonous spiders. Luckily we started letting the cellar spiders (most think they are daddy long legs) live in our house and they eat all the bad bugs.
My husband swears it keeps his scalp clean.. i think it makes him smell.3 -

it does kill athlete's foot. and it's one way to kill a mosquito bite itch, but i suppose any old vinegar could probably do both of those things too.
i do strongly suspect that drinking vinegar isn't great for your teeth. [she said, while scarfing down gummy bears]

I never understood how an acid, added to your stomach acid, is supposed to make you akaline.
The best place for vinegar is cooking or as a cleaning supply. If you have pets, use it in the laundry to deodorize. It kills mildew and mold better then bleach. Put it in a spray bottle for natural cleaning around the house. It kills fungus. It kills weeds. Its the best treatment for a wasp sting.1 -

I had to read this an embarrassingly large number of times to realize that you didn't mean the spiders in your house keep your husband's scalp clean.3 -

I only had to read it twice, but that was my first reaction too. Scalp scavengers! :laugh:2 -

It isn't supposed to make you alkaline. The logic is that our stomachs are overproducing acid causing things like reflux and gerd. By taking an acid our bodies will detect that it's made too much and calmaté.
Similar to how some people treat oily skin with moisturizer so that it stops overproducing. Or how people stop shampooing their hair and a few months later they stop being really oily.
In any case, I'm a general skeptic and this surprisingly works for me.2 -

It works well for me as far as indigestion/acid reflux. But beyond that, I don't for one second believe that it's having any effect upon the overall pH of my body.1 -
