The disadvantages of drinking too much vinegar are:
Excessive gastric acid can damage the gastric lining. Acetic acid can also damage the oral cavity, so it is best to dilute it with water. Vinegar is beneficial, but excessive consumption of vinegar or simply drinking a large amount of vinegar is extremely detrimental to human health. Because drinking a lot of vinegar will not only cause gastric irritation but also affect the normal function of muscles and bones.
2. From the analysis of the chemical composition of vinegar, its main components are acetic acid, non-volatile acid, amino acids, sugar, etc. Therefore, vinegar has the functions of disinfecting and sterilizing, reducing spiciness, and protecting the vitamin C in raw materials from loss. It can also aid digestion, improve the acid environment in the stomach, and inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria. Therefore, eating some vinegar appropriately is good for human health.
3. But the first condition for body health is to keep the organs working properly. When you drink a lot of vinegar, a large amount of vinegar enters the human body, which will change the PH value of the gastric juice and cause damage to the gastric mucosa. In healthy people, eating large amounts of vinegar can cause stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and even acute gastritis; while in patients with gastritis, eating large amounts of vinegar can aggravate gastric symptoms, and people with ulcers can induce ulcer attacks. 4. Due to the large absorption of acetic acid, it will also affect the acid-base balance of the entire human body. Under normal circumstances, the pH of human blood and body fluids should be maintained between PH7.35-7.45, which is weakly alkaline. The intake of acidic and alkaline foods will affect the pH of blood and body fluids. From a physiological point of view, excessive intake of acidic foods will cause the acidity of blood and body fluids to increase, leading to acidosis. The human body is acidic and will cause discomfort, fatigue, and mental depression in a short period of time. If it is in a state of acidity for a long time, it will cause electrolyte imbalance in the body and easily induce neurasthenia, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and coronary heart disease.
