According to research, drinking vinegar for a long time can reduce blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar. According to epidemiological research, people who drink 20 ml of vinegar every day have a lower risk index of cardiovascular disease than those who don't drink vinegar.
Why does drinking vinegar have such a magical effect? Because vinegar can dilate the blood vessels of the body, help digestion and absorption, thus lowering the blood lipid level of the body. In recent years, studies have shown that drinking vinegar has a certain effect on controlling blood sugar and weight and increasing insulin sensitivity in diabetic patients.
In addition, vinegar can also regulate the acid-base balance of human body. Many people may not know that vinegar is an acidic food before eating, but it can react with gastric acid in the body after eating, and finally generate alkaline substances, which will neutralize the meat products, thus finally achieving the effect of lowering blood pressure. Acetic acid contained in vinegar can also slow down the absorption of glucose by human intestine, thus reducing the glycemic index of food and increasing the content of glucose -6- phosphate in skeletal muscle, which is beneficial to diabetics.
Of course, jealousy also has certain taboos, which are often not suitable for patients with peptic ulcer and hypotension. It should also be noted that vinegar is actually only a health food for adjuvant treatment of diabetic patients, and it cannot completely replace drugs. Patients should grasp the dosage when eating.
With the development of science and the improvement of people's health awareness, the health care function of vinegar is becoming more and more noticeable. Investigation shows that vinegar per meal 1 tablespoon can not only reduce the rising speed of blood sugar after meals and inhibit the secretion of insulin, but also reduce the total cholesterol in blood and blood pressure.
