Today, I want to tell you a true story about a 53 year old elder sister who has a special eating habit—— Every time you eat noodles, add vinegar.
You may think it's nothing strange, but when she went to the hospital for a physical examination, the doctor's reaction was surprising.
The doctor looked at her physical examination report and asked, "What do you usually eat?"
The elder sister smiled and said mysteriously, "I just like noodles and vinegar."
What the hell is going on here? Let's unveil the mystery of vinegar!
1、 Elder Sister's self description
The elder sister said that since she began to eat noodles with vinegar, the noodles taste as if they were opened. They are extremely delicious.
Moreover, after eating, the whole person feels very comfortable. The stomach no longer purrs, and there is no feeling of flatulence after eating.
Do you know how uncomfortable that flatulence is?
It's like having a balloon in your stomach that could explode at any time.
But the elder sister doesn't need to worry about this problem at all.
What's more, the elder sister's skin became smoother and smoother.
In the past, she always had small pimples on her face, and her skin seemed dull.
But now, those small pimples are gone, and the skin seems to be moistened, showing a healthy luster.
The elder sister smiled and said that the vinegar was like her beauty lotion, which made her look several years younger.
Besides, my elder sister's constipation problem has also been greatly improved.
She used to worry about it. Now, her intestines are smooth and she is relaxed every day.
The elder sister said that the vinegar was like a scavenger in her intestines, helping her clean up the accumulated waste.
It turns out that such a small condiment has so many benefits.
However, I have to remind you that although vinegar is good, it should also be moderate.
Everyone's physique is different, and what suits others may not suit oneself.
So, if you want to try the elder sister's method, remember to start from a small amount and observe the body's reaction.
2、 Health benefits of vinegar
1. Control blood sugar level
First, we need to understand the main active ingredients in vinegar—— Acetic acid.
This organic acid has been found to improve our body's sensitivity to insulin.
This is very important for controlling the blood sugar level, especially for people with diabetes or those with poor blood sugar control:
Proper intake of vinegar can help stabilize blood sugar and reduce blood sugar fluctuation.
2. Control blood fat
Hyperlipidemia can lead to vascular sclerosis, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
And vinegar, especially apple cider vinegar, has been shown by some studies that it may help reduce bad cholesterol;
It is also known as low density lipoprotein level, which helps maintain cardiovascular health.
3. Help digestion
When you eat too fat or too full, a little vinegar can help promote the secretion of digestive juice, and alleviate the feeling of flatulence and indigestion.
Moreover, vinegar can also increase satiety, which is good for diet control;
It is important to avoid excessive food intake, and it is also very friendly to lose weight.
Don't feel "Wow, I'll start eating a lot of vinegar tomorrow“
Although we really saw the benefits of vinegar from this elder sister;
But the elder sister also said that she matched some good lifestyles;
For example, early to bed and early to get up, moderate exercise and good mood make her physical examination indicators so good;
Being jealous is only a help to health, not all.
3、 Are there any people who are not suitable for vinegar
Patients with hyperacidity or gastrointestinal ulcer:
Vinegar is an acidic substance, which may stimulate gastric acid secretion;
For those who already have excessive stomach acid or gastrointestinal ulcer, eating vinegar may aggravate the symptoms and cause discomfort.
Children:
Young children may not be suitable for vinegar;
Because their gastrointestinal tract is still developing, they may be more sensitive to acidic food.
People with severe esophageal reflux symptoms:
Vinegar will increase the secretion of gastric acid. For those with severe esophageal reflux symptoms, eating vinegar may aggravate the symptoms.
People who are allergic to vinegar:
Although it is rare, some people may be allergic to vinegar. Such people may have skin rash, dyspnea and other symptoms after eating vinegar.
Hypokalemia patients:
Vinegar may reduce the potassium level in the blood. For those who have suffered from hypokalemia, eating vinegar may aggravate the disease.
Finally, I remind you how to choose vinegar
There are various kinds of vinegar on the market, some of which are added with various additives;
It looks bright and smells delicious, but these are not necessarily good.
Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that we'd better choose the traditional craft, naturally brewed vinegar.
This kind of vinegar is like the essence from nature. It is safe to drink and is more friendly to the body.
It takes wisdom to be jealous
Proper consumption and selection of good vinegar can make vinegar a good helper for our healthy life.
Don't let a moment of greed affect our health.
Remember, although vinegar is good, the right amount is king!
