According to the reporter's understanding, not only are various vinegar drinks available in supermarkets, but many hotels and restaurants also supply vinegar drinks, such as ice vinegar drink, imperial concubine vinegar, beauty vinegar, etc.
“"Drink vinegar." Is vinegar really as good as it sounds?
Peking University first Hospital Sun Mengli, director of the Nutrition Department, and Cai Donglian, director of the Nutrition Department of Changhai Hospital Affiliated to the Second Military Medical University, both said in interviews with reporters from Life Times that, in theory, vinegar does have the effect of softening blood vessels and can, to a certain extent, prevent high blood pressure, Hyperlipidemia effect.
In addition, patients with high blood pressure usually have to limit their salt intake, which is really difficult for people who are used to eating heavy-flavored dishes. At this time, using sour vinegar instead of salty salt is an excellent conversion method. It can satisfy the picky taste while avoiding the intake of sodium. It can be said that it is a choice that kills two birds with one stone.
Helps calcium absorption
When it comes to the relationship between vinegar and calcium, the first thing that comes to people's minds is probably the scene of bones slowly softening in vinegar. Indeed, Director Cai Donglian said that in a certain acidic environment, calcium ions in bones are easily released, which will undoubtedly increase the solubility of calcium and help calcium absorption. In this sense, adding some vinegar to your daily diet is quite beneficial for calcium supplementation. For example, adding a little vinegar when making clams and other seafood can make the minerals in the shells more easily dissolved in the soup, which will help increase our calcium intake. In addition, adding some vinegar when cooking fish will also help us absorb the calcium in the fish.
Director Sun Mengli also reminded that no matter how good the food is, you should drink it in moderation, especially when you "boldly challenge" pure condiments such as mature vinegar. At the beginning, you can drink less, and consider whether you can increase the amount depending on your body's tolerance. For example, some people have poor gastrointestinal function and feel uncomfortable drinking a little vinegar drink, so don't force it. elderly , people with excessive gastric acidity, and people with ulcers should drink less vinegar, otherwise it may irritate the gastrointestinal tract and aggravate ulcers.
