Vinegar, I don't know when, from a most ordinary spice, turned around and changed, becoming a health saint.
Whether it is foreign or domestic, "drinking vinegar health" has a large number of followers, many people believe that usually drinking vinegar, or eating some vinegar bubbles, can soften blood vessels, lower lipids and blood pressure, and even anti-cancer detoxification and other effects.
However, as a seasoning, vinegar is used well, and it can indeed make the dish more refreshing and appetizing.
But in terms of health care, is vinegar really that magical?
What are the nutritional values of vinegar?
Vinegar is a carbohydrate in fermented food, grain or juice that is converted to ethanol by yeast and further converted into acetic acid by acetic acid bacteria.
Different raw materials and different fermented vitamins, vinegar may also have some citric acid, malic acid or lactic acid. In addition, some vitamins, amino acids, minerals, etc. and polyphenol compounds in raw materials will enter the vinegar, causing different vinegars to have different flavors.
But most of the ingredients of vinegar are water and acetic acid, and the rest of the nutrients are very small, even if the vinegar drunk every day is more than a dozen milliliters, the amount of nutrients is even more minimal.
Therefore, vinegar does not have much nutritional value to health care, at most it is only used as a seasoning to increase taste and flavor.
Can drinking vinegar lower blood lipids?
In fact, this claim is only popular in the folk, and there is no scientific explanation to support it.
Although there are some animal experiments and epidemiological investigations, it is claimed that it can soften blood vessels and reduce blood lipids. But these studies are also very preliminary, and there are no more reliable experimental results to confirm their efficacy.
Instead of drinking vinegar, it is better to do these things well to reduce blood lipids
1. Drink water
Although the effect of drinking water on reducing hyperlipidemia is not obvious, it can play a direct role in diluting the blood by drinking more water, especially in the morning, which is also a good way to reduce high blood lipids.
And drinking more water also helps the body detoxify, so it is a good choice for both healthy people and patients with high blood lipids.
2. Exercise
Exercise is a convenient and effective way to lower blood lipids. It is recommended to exercise as much as possible in the afternoon or evening, and you can also choose the intensity of your workout according to your age and physical condition, so that you can keep your blood lipids normal.
If you insist on two or three months of exercise, I believe you can achieve good results in reducing blood lipids.
However, in order to achieve the expected blood lipid reduction and maintain the effect of maintaining good health, patients should also adhere to exercise, do not fish for three days, and dry nets for two days.
3. Regulate emotions
Today's society is in a state of accelerated development, which will lead to increased pressure on people's lives.
Many people working overtime and staying up late has become a daily life, these people are more likely to be impatient, emotional ups and downs will increase for no reason, resulting in elevated blood lipids and destroying their physical health.
People should control their emotions in their daily lives and maintain a calm and optimistic attitude.
4. Reduce the amount of fat in the diet
In daily life, we can see that there are many high-fat foods, some people are unrestrained in their diet, big fish and big meat, eat greasy meals, resulting in excessive intake of fat, easy to cause the body's cholesterol to rise, affecting blood pressure and blood lipid levels.
Therefore, you should usually pay attention to eating more fruits and vegetables and avoid high-fat foods.
The harm of hyperlipidemia is very large, if not treated in time, it can cause other complications, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and the longer these diseases drag on, the more fatal.
Therefore, when they find that they have high blood lipids, they must go to the hospital for treatment in time, and do not favor blind treatment remedies such as "drinking vinegar to lower blood lipids".
Coupled with the fact that it is not good to drink too much vinegar, high concentrations of vinegar may damage teeth, mouth and throat.
In addition, vinegar may also react with some drugs, so try not to drink too much vinegar before and after taking the drug.
From the perspective of seasoning taste, the low content of sodium vinegar and the different taste are indeed good seasonings.
But in terms of health care, it is really difficult to take on this heavy responsibility.
