●Vinegar cannot adjust the pH of the blood. Many people drink vinegar every day to maintain health. This is because they believe that although vinegar is acidic in taste, it is an alkaline food when it enters the human body, so it can adjust the pH of the blood. , making people less likely to get sick. Under normal circumstances, human blood is weakly alkaline (approximately PH7.4). Nutritionists point out that a few foreign studies have found that people with alkaline blood are healthier, while people with acidic blood have a higher risk of disease. There is also a folk saying that eating meat will make the body sour. Eating vegetables, fruits, It is said that drinking vinegar can adjust the body's constitution and return it to a more alkaline state. But can changing the pH of the blood really be done by eating certain foods? Many Western nutritionists point out that there is currently no scientific basis to prove this statement. Even traditional Chinese medicine does not agree with the argument that diet changes the body's pH. Western nutrition believes that the human body has its own mechanism to maintain the pH balance of the blood, which involves complex enzyme actions and may not be changed by eating certain foods. ●Vinegar cannot lose weight. Drinking vinegar to lose weight was once popular. In Japan and Taiwan, it was popular to soak soybeans in vinegar and pickle them into vinegar beans. It was claimed that eating 10 to 20 pills every morning and evening would achieve weight loss results. The argument is that vinegar can improve the body's metabolism and prevent fat accumulation, but nutrition experts shake their heads and say that there is currently no definite research to support this statement. Some nutritionists theorize that if you really want to say that drinking vinegar can help you lose weight, it may be because you are full after drinking a lot of vinegar and cannot eat anything else, or you may be eating vinegar beans instead of your usual high-calorie snacks, which in turn reduces your caloric intake. However, this weight loss method cannot last long. In the long run, it will cause nutritional deficiencies and imbalances, which will greatly damage your health. Weng Huiling reminded that on the contrary, some vinegar products such as fruit vinegar drinks will add a large amount of sugar to improve the taste and are not low in calories. , when purchasing, please pay attention to whether sugar is listed in the ingredient list, or the calories and carbohydrate content on the nutrition label. Therefore, it is doubtful whether drinking vinegar can help you lose weight. ●Vinegar can whet your appetite. The sultry heat of summer makes people lose their appetite. Eating some cool and sour dishes can stimulate your appetite. Vinegar is one of the simplest ways to season. For example, use vinegar and olive oil to make an oil-vinegar salad dressing with lower calories than Thousand Island dressing. Use vinegar, minced garlic, chili, and other cold seafood, or use vinegar to pickle cucumbers, lotus roots, and other vegetables. Bitter melon as an appetizer before a summer meal. Nutritionists suggest that patients with chronic diseases with poor appetite and elderly people with degraded sense of taste should eat some vinegar in moderation, which can regulate appetite and improve eating conditions. ●Vinegar can stimulate gastric acid secretion and help digestion. A moderate amount of vinegar may be helpful to some people who originally secrete less gastric acid. However, people with normal digestive tract function do not need to deliberately drink vinegar to improve digestion. Moreover, if people with normal gastric acid secretion drink vinegar, it may not increase gastric acid secretion. ●Vinegar can prevent high blood pressure. "Less salt and more vinegar" is a traditional healthy diet for Chinese people. However, modern people who eat out frequently and eat a lot of processed foods have long exceeded the recommended amount of 6 grams per day. If you can make good use of vinegar to add flavor to dishes and reduce the use of salt, you can indeed reduce the risk of hypertension, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, stroke and other diseases. In addition, fruit vinegar contains the mineral potassium, which can help the body excrete excess sodium and prevent high blood pressure. Of course, you can also achieve the same effect by eating fresh vegetables and fruits. Traditional Chinese medicine also uses vinegar-pickled peanuts as a dietary therapy to regulate blood pressure. Soak the peanut kernels in vinegar for more than 7 days, and then eat 10-15 peanuts every day for more than a week. ●Vinegar can help absorb calcium. When cooking pork rib soup, you can add a small amount of vinegar to help release calcium from the bones, making it easier for us to absorb calcium. After reading the above various statements, it is not difficult to find that in fact, many of the popular health care methods of drinking vinegar are mostly based on personal opinions and feelings, and there is insufficient scientific evidence. In this case, do we still need to be jealous and drink vinegar every day? According to expert opinions, being jealous in moderation is not harmful to health. However, the health benefits of vinegar can actually be achieved as long as you eat a balanced diet, and you don’t have to drink vinegar. Therefore, you don’t have to have high expectations for vinegar, and don’t mistakenly believe in folk remedies and think it can cure diseases. Whether you drink vinegar every day or not is purely a matter of personal diet and health preferences. People who are not accustomed to drinking vinegar occasionally mix a vinegar drink to change the taste and add fun to life. However, I would like to remind you to pay attention to the timing and amount of jealousy. If you eat inappropriately, it will harm your health.

●Do not drink vinegar on an empty stomach. No matter how strong your gastrointestinal system is, it is not suitable to drink vinegar on an empty stomach to avoid stimulating the secretion of excessive gastric acid and damaging the stomach wall. Drinking vinegar between meals or one hour after meals is less irritating to the gastrointestinal tract and helps digestion. ●Maximum 1-2 cups of diluted vinegar per day. A small amount of vinegar is fine, but if anyone drinks a large amount of vinegar, it will be too irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, a large amount of sugar is often added to fruit vinegar or other vinegar drinks on the market. If you drink vinegar instead of boiled water, tea and other beverages, a lot of extra calories will be added. Drinking it for a long time will greatly increase the chance of obesity, which is even more detrimental to weight control. .
