As an essential seasoning in the kitchen, vinegar can make all kinds of delicious food. Vinegar can increase appetite and promote the secretion of gastric acid, so eating food with vinegar will greatly increase appetite. At the same time, vinegar can reduce salt intake. If we make good use of condiments, add proper amount of vinegar to dishes and reduce the amount of salt, food will be more delicious and will not feel tasteless. In addition, many people believe that drinking vinegar every day or eating something soaked in vinegar can soften blood vessels, lower blood lipids and blood pressure, and lose weight by beauty. Is it true?/You don't say.

Can drinking vinegar soften blood vessels? Don't be cheated again.

Drinking vinegar can soften blood vessels, which can be regarded as the "old terrier" in health food rumors. Although rumors have been circulated many times, they can always revive. So far, there is no evidence that drinking vinegar can reduce blood lipids and soften blood vessels. The main component of vinegar is acetic acid. As a condiment, reasonable intake can stimulate appetite and promote digestion. However, the intake of acetic acid will not dissolve the substances in the blood, and there is no experiment to prove that drinking vinegar can reduce blood fat and soften blood vessels. On the contrary, drinking vinegar directly may cause harm to the mouth, esophagus and stomach. The acetic acid contained in vinegar will be neutralized by alkaline digestive juice in the small intestine, and the acetic acid that can be absorbed into the blood is very limited, and will be cleaned up by the blood stabilization system soon, so the acetic acid will not change the pH of the blood, nor will it soften the blood vessels.

As we all know, acetic acid is corrosive, and the mouth, esophagus and stomach that come into contact with vinegar when drinking it will be stimulated.

Removing vinegar cannot soften blood vessels. In life, if a fishbone gets stuck in your throat, don't drink vinegar. After the fishbone gets stuck in the throat, many people think that soaking the fishbone in vinegar can soften the fishbone, so it is suggested to drink vinegar to soften the fishbone. But this idea is just taken for granted.

First of all, it takes a long time for fishbones to soak and soften in vinegar, and the vinegar we drink has a very short contact time with fishbones, so there is no time to soften them at all.

In addition, if drinking vinegar can soften and decompose fish bones, wouldn't normal esophagus and throat be damaged under the same intensity of stimulation?

Therefore, if you get stuck in your throat by a fishbone, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible and take out the fishbone with the help of a professional doctor.

Although vinegar can't keep healthy, it still has many wonderful uses in life.

1. Deodorization. Acetic acid has a pungent smell. When the trash can or refrigerator has an unpleasant smell, you can fill a piece of bread with vinegar and put it in to remove the smell.

2. Water outlet. Pour half a cup of boiled baking soda and half a cup of vinegar into the sewer. The carbon dioxide produced can dredge sewers.

3. Remove clothes wrinkles. Add one part of vinegar and three parts of water to the watering can, and spray it on clothes to dry for a while. After drying, wrinkles will disappear.
