As a practicing physician and professor of medicine, people ask me about the benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar all the time. I enjoy those moments, because we can talk about the history of vinegar, and then distill the conversations to how it could, maybe, benefit them.

作为一名从业医师和医学教授，我总是被问及喝苹果醋的益处。我享受这些时刻，因为我们可以从醋的历史谈起，然后谈及醋的提炼，及其益处。

A cure for colds, the plague and obesity?

可治疗感冒、瘟疫和肥胖？

Historically, vinegar has been used for many ailments. A few examples are that of the famous Greek physician Hippocrates, who recommended vinegar for the treatment of cough and colds, and that of the Italian physician Tommaso Del Garbo, who, during an outbreak of plague in 1348, washed his hands, face and mouth with vinegar in the hopes of preventing infection.

从历史角度来看，醋已被用于治疗多种疾病。比如，著名的希腊医生希波克拉底就建议喝醋治疗咳嗽和感冒；意大利医生托马索·德尔·加博（Tommaso Del Garbo）在1348年瘟疫爆发的那段时间用醋洗手、洗脸、漱口，以期预防感染。

Vinegar and water has been a refreshing drink from the time of Roman soldiers to modern athletes who drink it to slake their thirst. Ancient and modern cultures the world over have found good uses for "sour wine."
