Low-tech wellness. Apple Cider Vinegar instead of acid reducers (Tums, Zantac, Prilosec) for heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. Water Fasting instead of caloric restriction, weight loss pills, and diet fads for curing metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance, mid-section fat buildup, inflammation, diabetes). Kettlebell, mace, stretching, and sprinting instead of a gym membership with classes and steady state card…
This list makes me think that I'd love if you could elaborate with a few sentences for each item. I somehow perceive a lot of quality and study behind these things, and it makes me curious to hear more. e.g. most notable things I am very curious about: 0-drop shoes, apple cider vinegar, glass for cooking
Re: Ask HN: What are some example of low tech improving your life?
#171My wife used to have to throw up every day, sometimes multiple times, for years. It was miserable. Doctors, including a gastroenterologist, prescribed antacids which made it worse. We read an article online that said her acid might be low, and it recommended apple cider vinegar. It literally cured her daily vomiting overnight.
