Speaking of vinegar, I naturally think of Shanxi people. Shanxi is the birthplace of China vinegar, and Shanxi people have been brewing vinegar for more than 4,000 years. Today, Shanxi mature vinegar has become a must for tourists to visit Shanxi. Speaking of the history of vinegar, there is another interesting allusion. In ancient times, vinegar was called "acyl", the person who brewed vinegar was called "acyl" and vinegar was called "old acyl". So jealousy is not jealousy, but "eating acyl". Because of Shanxi people's special contribution to vinegar brewing technology, coupled with Shanxi people's love for vinegar, and coincidentally, "acyl" and "west" in Shanxi are homophonic, so people from other provinces call Shanxi people "old acyl". I am jealous, too. I like to add some vinegar when eating noodles and jiaozi. The sour and sweet taste will make me more appetizing. Sometimes when cooking, you will put some vinegar, such as stewed ribs or bone soup. Drop a few drops of vinegar when the soup is boiling, which can not only refresh the mind and remove fishy smell, but also promote the precipitation of calcium in bones, so that bone soup can really supplement calcium. Dropping two drops of vinegar during cooking can reduce the loss of nutrients such as vitamin C in vegetables and retain the nutritional value of vegetables. A few drops of vinegar will certainly help. In fact, vinegar is originally made of whole grains. Like wine, it retains the essence of raw materials, such as citric acid, acetic acid and amino acids in vinegar, which are beneficial to human body. Recently, a kind of fruit vinegar is popular. It is said that beauty beauty has a good effect and won the favor of women who love beauty. Colleague Xiao Wu regards fruit vinegar as a must-have beauty and health care product every day, and often advocates the beauty of drinking fruit vinegar with me. ★ Vinegar can stimulate appetite and promote digestion: the unique sour taste of vinegar can stimulate appetite. Therefore, when the appetite is bad, or the elderly with degraded taste, eating vinegar in moderation can adjust the appetite and improve the diet; People with less stomach acid drink vinegar in moderation, which also promotes digestion. ★ Vinegar can prevent hypertension: Eating less salt and more vinegar can reduce the risk of diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and stroke. In addition, fruit vinegar contains mineral potassium, which can help the body excrete excess sodium and prevent hypertension. The health care function of vinegar is really not small. A small amount of vinegar is harmless, but there is a limit to everything, and eating too much is even harmful. Drinking too much vinegar is too irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, jealous health should also pay attention to the timing and quantity. Don't be jealous. Eating inappropriately will do harm to your health. It is especially important to remember the following points. 1。 People who like meat can drink a cup of fruit vinegar after each meal to help digestion, but people who are vegetarian or usually have good digestive function are not necessary. 2。 In terms of quantity, it is best not to drink more than 20 ml of vinegar every day. 3。 Try not to drink on an empty stomach or dilute it with boiling water, which is harmful to the stomach. 4。 People with gastric ulcer, hyperacidity and diabetes should not drink more. 5。 People who are allergic to fruit should read the instructions in detail and avoid the corresponding fruit vinegar. 6。 Old people should be less jealous to prevent excessive calcification of bones, otherwise they are prone to fracture. In fact, as long as the diet is balanced, vinegar is enough, and you don't have to drink vinegar. You don't have to expect too much from vinegar, and don't think it can cure diseases. Whether it is necessary to drink vinegar every day is purely a personal diet and health preference, and there is not much scientific basis. Seven things to open the door, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, are a true portrayal of China people's life in the past. Now, people living in cities no longer need to burn wood, but six other things are still indispensable. Among them, it is very necessary to talk about it. The first is salt. Salt is known as the "ancestor of all kinds of flavors". Putting salt can not only increase the taste of dishes, but also promote the secretion of gastric juice and increase appetite. However, the importance of salt as a condiment lies in its strong physiological regulation. Only by taking enough salt every day can we maintain the normal activity of the heart, maintain the normal osmotic pressure and the acid-base balance in the body. In ancient China, the control of salt was very strict, and it was forbidden to sell salt privately. Because salt is a necessity in daily life, no one can live without it, so the profit is great. However, China people have one of the biggest problems in eating salt-excessive consumption. When I first got married, my husband always said, "It's too light, not salty at all." I replied, "This is because you used to eat too salty. Since I am in charge, I must break your habit. " The World Health Organization recommends that each person's daily salt intake should not exceed 6 grams, and minors should be less. Adults generally need 2200mg of sodium every day, including1000mg of sodium contained in food itself (sauce, soy sauce, cooked food and some vegetables all contain sodium), so you only need to take1200mg of sodium from salt, which is about 3g of salt every day. In fact, China's per capita salt intake greatly exceeds the standards recommended by the World Health Organization. Among them, the people who eat the most salt are Northeasters, with an average of 18 grams of salt per person per day, while the people who eat the least salt are Cantonese, with 8 grams of salt, which also exceeds the standard. The proportion of people suffering from hypertension in the north is higher than that in the south, which is closely related to the salt intake. Eating too much salt is bad for your health, which will increase the burden on the kidneys and cardiovascular system, cause kidney disease, hypertension, heart disease and stroke, and destroy the gastric mucosa. Over time, it will cause gastric ulcer, gastritis and even gastric cancer. Personally, I prefer a light taste and use less salt when cooking. My family has gradually changed their heavy-taste eating habits under my "cultivation", so that they occasionally go to relatives and friends' homes or restaurants to eat heavy-taste meals, but they are not used to it. However, the amount of salt should not be too low. For some people, a low-salt diet has a greater negative impact on the heart than a high-salt diet. Therefore, for most healthy people (especially those with normal blood pressure), it is unnecessary to choose a diet with extremely low salt content. I suggest that all sisters prepare a measuring spoon of salt, which makes it easier to control the amount of salt.
