Vinegar therapy is not a panacea
Vinegar, as a traditional fermented food, contains amino acids, organic acids, vitamins and mineral elements and other nutrients. Appropriate consumption of vinegar is beneficial to the human body. Vinegar is a good condiment, usually patients will be recommended to eat less salt to season with vinegar, which can protect B vitamins and vitamin C from being destroyed, but also promote the absorption and utilization of iron in the human body. Reasonable "vinegar therapy" can help digestion and increase appetite. But the efficacy of these vinegar therapies has been exaggerated.
1. 60 days away from hypertension
There are many online remarks about the magical effect of vinegar on lowering blood pressure: "Vinegar, 60 days away from high blood pressure" has been widely circulated. In this regard, experts say that adding vinegar to the diet can help people with hypertension reduce salt in their diet, which is really good for blood vessel health. Some research data have found that drinking one spoonful of vinegar every day can stimulate human blood vessel cells to secrete nitric oxide, to a certain extent, expand blood vessels. But there are many reasons for high blood pressure. It is difficult to control blood pressure within the ideal range by simple "vinegar therapy". It is more likely that it is a placebo effect. Vinegar drinking on the Internet can "soften the blood vessels", advocating that only by stopping antihypertensive drugs, only by drinking vinegar for several decades, "treatment", it is likely to lead to fluctuations in blood pressure.
2. It is not scientific to drink vinegar to reduce blood sugar.
There are also similar articles in the circle of friends: "39 diseases such as diabetes mellitus, gynecological diseases, Alzheimer's disease are all solved", "health should be brewed by oneself". Take diabetes as an example, some people want to drink vinegar to reduce blood sugar or lose weight every day when they see that vinegar therapy is so powerful that they don't take any direct hypoglycemic drugs. Although vinegar can help reduce postprandial blood sugar, some studies have found that this effect is limited to eating with high glycemic index foods (steamed bread, white bread, white rice, etc.), but if food is low glycemic index foods (such as oats, coarse grains, etc.), the effect is not obvious.
3. Vinegar cannot sterilize the intestine
Although vinegar can sterilize food to a certain extent, such as sugar garlic in vinegar can be preserved for a long time, but our daily intake is not enough to achieve the effect of disinfection of human intestinal tract, nor can we prevent bacterial food poisoning. "Vinegar can make beauty", "Vinegar is alkaline, can change the acidic constitution", these statements are hearsay, there is no exact scientific basis. As far as constitution is concerned, there is no such thing as "acidic constitution" or "alkaline constitution" in modern medicine. Under the regulation of the three regulating systems of the human body, the acidity and alkalinity (pH) in the normal human body will be stable between 7.35 and 7.45, and will not be changed by eating a certain kind of food.
4. The nutrition of vinegar pickle recipe remains unchanged
For example, "Vinegar foamed eggshells can supplement calcium", first of all, this eating method is very unsafe, eggshells may contain heavy metals or contaminated Salmonella; second, calcium supplementation is far less effective than drinking milk. For vinegar-soaked black beans, peanuts, soybeans and other eating methods, Gao said that if the preference for this taste is not a problem, but they can not be said to have magical curative effect on chronic diseases, let alone replace the regular treatment and normal diet.
5. Vinegar is not for everyone to drink
Vinegar therapy is suitable for everyone? This is not the case. People with excessive acid in stomach or stomach diseases should pay more attention to it. Drinking vinegar directly will stimulate the stomach. Diabetic patients should not drink health vinegar and fruit vinegar with high sugar content; people taking medicine should also be cautious about vinegar therapy, so as not to affect the efficacy of drugs.
6. Vinegar drinks are not healthy
Drinking a bottle of fruit vinegar every day is equivalent to drinking vinegar health care? Fruit vinegar is just the "light" of the vinegar word, its essence is only a drink. The price of vinegar is not high, many businesses add other ingredients on the basis of a small amount of ordinary vinegar, such as jujube, longan, hawthorn, or add fruit juice, sweeteners and other ingredients to make vinegar drinks, such as apple vinegar, pear vinegar to stir-fry "concept vinegar" to raise prices. In fact, this kind of vinegar beverage has no traditional vinegar ingredients and nutrition. If health vinegar is claimed, the batch number of health products should be obtained.
When you buy vinegar, you should pay attention to the label and recommend brewing vinegar (that is, food, bran, beans, etc. as the main raw materials, brewed by fermentation process), so that the nutrition of vinegar can be fully eaten, and as far as possible do not choose to prepare vinegar and blended vinegar (brewing vinegar and diluted edible acetic acid mixed into condiment vinegar). Generally speaking, the standard of execution is GB18187 for brewing vinegar; SB/T10337 for preparing vinegar; and if marked as "Q/", it may be products with vinegar as the main raw material and other ingredients added.
