Can you handle one more miracle cure for everything from obesity to arthritis?
Hold on, don’t log off, hear me out. I know I’ve raised your hopes in the past only to have them dashed by worthless solutions (i.e. the ear staple for losing weight I reported several months ago. Incidentally, to the lady who called for an update on my success with the staple – I’ve only gained three pounds.)
But this latest “miracle” could provide relief for a whole range of thorny problems associated with aging, so listen up everybody.
I recently had the great pleasure of reconnecting with a childhood friend who has moved to my town. She looks great and spends her free time cycling or running up and down the bleachers at the high school stadium to stay in shape. My exercise program on the other hand involves pushing a grocery cart around the supermarket.
As she described her regimen, she casually mentioned someone prescribed “Jogging in a Jug” to reduce joint pain and promote weight loss. Intrigued, I begged for more information.
Apparently someone was marketing a short of “happy juice”, but she obtained the secret recipe which was a simple mixture of grape juice, apple juice and apple cider vinegar. You’re supposed to take a jigger-full several times a day and wait for the aches, pains and appetite to subside.
“I started taking it as a cure for some joint pain, but I quit smoking instead,” she announced with a straight face. Confused, I was having a hard time following her train of thought, but my brain was already plotting an escape to the store before it closed to pick up the necessary ingredients. I was chug-a-lugging the tart cocktail by bedtime. I would compare it to licking the port-o-potty at LollaPalooza.
My friend couldn’t believe I’d not heard of this miracle cure for everything from arterial clogs to high cholesterol. Apparently the jogging juice, like ear stapling, made the rounds back in the early 90s and faded away either because it didn’t work, or because it was so distasteful.
I suddenly remembered my father telling me that my great grandmother drank a vinegar mixture every day and she lived to be in her nineties. She wasn’t overweight either, but she did dip snuff.
And if an apple a day keeps the doctor at bay, wouldn’t apple cider vinegar be just as effective?
There are many recipes for “Jogging in a Jar or jog” online. The one most reported is as follows: mix 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 1/4 a cup grape juice and 1/4 a cup apple cider. If you have a sweet tooth you may mix 1 tablespoon of organic honey, 100% maple syrup or molasses to taste. If you are diabetic, use a sugar substitute.
“Take this cocktail twice a day and you will start to see changes like increased energy, clearer skin, and decreased muscle and joint aches,” state the claims.
The cocktail was nicknamed “Jogging in a Jug” because supposedly you could drink it in place of jogging – just how far I’m not sure- maybe only to the sink to spit it out.
I’m on my third day and I decided to nix the juices – I just take a shot glass full of the dark vinegar in the a.m. and again before bed. It works – at least for the appetite part. If you see me taking a nip out of a small flask – I promise it’s vinegar. You can watch my face pucker for proof!
Update—I was having terrible leg cramps at night until I began taking this stuff. I haven’t had one since!
I wanted to check in with you to see how well this concoction worked for you. Any updates?
Well, I’m not sure. I did quit smoking and have lost 12 pounds…mostly because we were training for a half marathon. But I still take it because I’m afraid not to!
I am just starting this adventure with jogging in a jug. I can honestly say it is better over ice. I heard about it from a girlfriend as well who said her husband has lost 25 pounds on this concoction. She is the one who suggested drinking it over ice which is how I started and it actually is not the worst thing but it is not the best thing I ever drank. I’ll check in from time to time and let you know if it works for me for weight loss. Thanks.
“I just take a shot glass full of the dark vinegar in the a.m. and again before bed.”
I don’t believe you. That would burn your throat like fire.
I’ve been drinking about 2 oz of my home mixed “Jogging in a Jug” since July 1995. I am a wonderful specimen of health . . . well, my wife says if you cut me, I smell like a pickle. But I enjoy the flavor as a pick-me-up in the morning since I don’t drink coffee. Love it.
Hey jogging in a jug fans! I have CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome), fibromyalga, HB Pressure and elevated cholesterol. Severe neck and back pain. Will the j in a j really help me? Feb. 2015 will be 50

to say that I’ve truly enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.
In any case I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again very soon!
what is the receipe????
There was really a product manufactured in Alabama in the ’80s called jogging in a jug. It came in a glass gallon jug (looked like a moonshine jug) you could tell it had grape juice and vinegar. Made lots of health claims, US Government made them pay huge fines, and they closed. My father in law bought the product, swore by it, and found a way to re-create it in his own kitchen. So did many others. Glad to hear it is still around and works!
Hi there Dear, are you genuinely visiting this web site on a regular basis, if so afterward you
will without doubt get fastidious know-how.
My grandmother’s recipe is as follows… 4 cups apple juice, 4 cups WHITE grape juice, 1 cup apple cider vinegar. It tastes WAY better than using purple or red grape juice I PROMISE!!
The consumption of this de-mineralized water could result in mineral and vitamin deficiency in the body
and can have detrimental effect on the bones and teeth.
We can use earth acupuncture to hold these points with rocks or triskeles
buried into the earth. Another bonus is that there is no large
storage tank taking up space.
With so many options to choose from, it is nearly impossible to make a list of the top US ski resorts.
The Dolomites have the distinction of being one of the most advanced and developed sites, and
is also one of the most important of sites when you gaze or asses
it from an historical and chronologically obsolete perspective.
If you haven’t been on the slopes in a while, start out gradually.
If your mom loves to listen to music while she works, you can assist her by purchasing gift certificates to online music stores.
Consequently, you might receive the food for which you never placed an order
for. Some of the most important features offered
at the restaurant include catering, takeout and delivery.
But as you also know that for every business it is not possible to
broadcast their own advertisement over the television there
are following constraints to do so. In this highly competitive business world, where
it is a matter of survival of the fittest, adopting traditional marketing techniques will not come to your rescue,
therefore choosing SMS marketing over others is always
advisable. Anyone can do individual SMS tracking for any volume of SMS
Delivery.
You really make it appear so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which
I believe I might by no means understand. It seems
too complex and very extensive for me. I’m looking forward to your
subsequent post, I will attempt to get the dangle of it!
Not least is whether a member of family can fund a $ 5,000 personal loan within the first-place.
Our personal loans provide payment plans that are workable and come
with a rapid approval procedure.
The drink was not “nicknamed” Jogging in a Jug. That is the trademarked name. Here’s the website: http://www.jogginginajug.com
