First, vinegar
It is not only a condiment, but also a good health care product. In addition to acidic substances such as acetic acid, lactic acid, malic acid and succinic acid, its main components also contain 18 amino acids and various vitamins, such as vitamin C and nicotinic acid. It has the effects of delaying and eliminating fatigue, regulating pH value of body fluid, promoting digestion and absorption, preventing aging, sterilizing and antivirus, preventing obesity, and inhibiting and killing ascaris lumbricoides and pinworms.

In the cold season, classrooms, shopping malls and other public places can be fumigated with vinegar, which can play a role in preventing and treating colds. This is because the cold virus has no cell membrane, and the change of pH in the external environment will affect its metabolic activity, thus hindering its division and proliferation and leading to its death. Secondly, acetic acid is a volatile acidic substance. Before eating, it can stimulate olfactory cells and make the brain nerve center send out the signal of "eating", which is conducive to coordinating the secretion of various digestive juices and making people have an appetite.
Chinese medicine believes that vinegar can "stimulate appetite and nourish liver" and can be combined with vinegar and brown sugar to treat liver diseases. In anti-cancer, vinegar can kill viruses and various molds, so it can prevent normal cells from mutating or becoming cancerous. Recently, many scholars have isolated and extracted anti-tumor active substances from rice vinegar. Animal experiments show that these active substances have significant anti-cancer effects.

The nutritional and anti-aging value of honey has always been highly valued, and it has the reputation of "milk for the elderly". Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica that "honey has six functions, which can clear heat when it is cold; The heat is warm, so it can make up the middle; Sweet and peaceful, so you can detoxify; Soft and moist, so it can moisten dryness; Slow can go to urgency, so it can stop the pain of heart sores. "
Honey also contains many vitamins necessary for maintaining human health, enhancing immune function and preventing cardiovascular diseases, such as vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, folic acid, nicotinic acid and so on.
The mineral content in honey is quite similar to that in human blood, which is beneficial to human body's absorption of minerals. Because of the existence of minerals, honey becomes an alkaline component in the body, which can neutralize the acidic components in the blood, so that people can quickly relieve fatigue and improve health.
In addition, for patients with chronic hepatitis and poor liver function, eating honey often can improve liver function. Honey is a good natural nutrient for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and chronic cough caused by fatigue, which can enhance physical fitness. Elderly people with gastric and duodenal ulcer diseases often take honey for better effect.
