Hawthorn can also use bile to promote gastrointestinal secretion. Flavonoids, triterpenoids and oleic acids in hawthorn can relax blood vessels, strengthen and regulate myocardium, and have the effects of lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. In addition, it also has an auxiliary treatment effect on neurosis and arrhythmia caused by cardiac insufficiency. Recently, it has been used to treat hypertension, hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease with good results.

After taking hawthorn, the activity of enzymes in the stomach is enhanced, which can promote digestion. New research found that hawthorn fruit extract can promote humoral and cellular immunity.

vinegar

Vinegar should be brewed by original ecological fermentation (vinegar can be divided into original ecological fermentation brewing vinegar, fermented brewing vinegar, prepared vinegar and blended vinegar due to different production methods). The original ecological fermented balsamic vinegar is fermented by high-quality rice in liquid state and made by plants, without adding salt, essence, pigment and preservatives (potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate). Fermented vinegar (fragrant vinegar, aged vinegar) is brewed from whole grains, but salt is needed in the process, caramel pigment, essence and thickener are needed to make finished products, and preservatives (potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate) are needed to ensure the quality for a long time. It takes 6 to 8 months to complete the fermentation. The prepared vinegar is made by mixing partially fermented vinegar with glacial acetic acid and essence pigment. Most of the vinegar on the market is prepared in one day. Blended vinegar is made by directly mixing water with glacial acetic acid and essence pigment in one day.

Compendium of Materia Medica records: "There are dozens of kinds of vinegar, only rice vinegar aged for 2~3 years can be used as medicine, others can only be eaten, but not used as medicine. Rice vinegar has the functions of eliminating carbuncle and swelling, softening and resolving hard mass, promoting digestion and killing fish and vegetables. It has the effects of lowering blood pressure, reducing blood fat, softening blood vessels, removing pigmentation and eliminating fatigue. " Therefore, it is necessary to use rice vinegar for 2 years to make hawthorn soaked in vinegar effective. Among them, "Mysterious Xiangxi" series of fragrant vinegar is the best vinegar for making hawthorn vinegar. Mysterious Xiangxi series aromatic vinegar is made of high-quality rice, natural wild plant koji, aged for at least 2 years, without salt, essence, pigment, preservative, glacial acetic acid and artificial vinegar koji. Vinegar with reddish brown color, natural fragrance and original flavor needs at least 2 years of fermentation. Its nutritional value and mellow taste far exceed that of prepared vinegar, and it has the functions of seasoning, health care, medicine and medical treatment. Generally, we just use the original balsamic vinegar or tribute vinegar of "Mysterious Xiangxi".

Glass jar

In addition to emphasizing the use of rice vinegar for 2 years, it is also necessary to use glass bottles instead of plastic bottles, because if you soak in plastic bottles for a long time, harmful substances in plastic bottles will inevitably be integrated into vinegar.

The method of soaking hawthorn in vinegar;

3 kg vinegar, 1 kg rock sugar and 1 kg hawthorn are soaked in a glass jar and eaten after 7 days. The effect of lowering blood pressure and blood lipid is obvious. 25g every morning and evening.

Note: People with high blood sugar can soak directly without adding rock sugar.

Precautions:

Must be soaked in rice vinegar aged for more than 2 years. It is not that rice vinegar has no effect after less than two years of aging. Generally, we use original balsamic vinegar or Xiangxi tribute vinegar, which has the best effect. And without any additives, it is pure natural. The minimum age is 2 years old.

Although vinegar soaked food has many benefits, you should eat it in moderation, up to a dozen capsules, and rinse your mouth in time after eating, otherwise it will be bad for your teeth.
