According to Guangming.com , 72-year-old Mr. Chen (pseudonym) was diagnosed with carotid atherosclerosis six months ago. He was very nervous after the diagnosis. I went back and searched for various methods that could soften blood vessels. I mentioned this when I was chatting with my neighbor. The neighbor told him that vinegar is an acidic substance. Drinking vinegar can help dissolve fat and calcium in the blood vessels, which is good for softening blood vessels.
After listening to the neighbors, Uncle Chen went to buy a few bottles of vinegar that day and went home, and he would drink a small cup every day. Not only that, he also adds a lot of vinegar when cooking, hoping to achieve better results. After taking
for half a year, Mr. Chen went to the hospital for a follow-up examination and thought that the plaques in the blood vessels would gradually shrink. However, the results of the examination went against my wishes. Not only did the plaques in Mr. Chen's body did not shrink, but instead became larger and larger. He also had symptoms of stomachache and . After gastroscopy, he was diagnosed with gastroscopy. The reason why
has this result is inseparable from his continuous jealousy drinking for half a year. Many people believe that drinking vinegar can soften blood vessels, but is this really reliable?
1. Vinegar is a vascular softener that can reverse vascular sclerosis and remove plaques?
Before we understand this problem, we need to know how blood vessels become hard. Arteriosclerosis is a non-inflammatory lesion that occurs with age. When the levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood become higher and higher, it will gradually accumulate on the blood vessel wall, which will lead to a narrowing of the diameter of the blood vessel wall and a decrease in flexibility, and blood vessels will gradually become hardened.
Studies have found that people's blood vessels will begin to become hardened from the age of 10, and carotid artery plaque will develop at the age of 20, and will gradually become obvious at the age of 40. After the age of 60, the development of arterial plaques seems to be pressed. Without timely intervention, it may induce cardiovascular disease.
Artificial plaques are mainly composed of fat and calcium. It is rumored that vinegar can dissolve calcium in order to soften blood vessels. In fact, this statement has no scientific basis. Because after vinegar enters the body, it will be neutralized by alkaline digestive fluid in the small intestine, the acetic acid that can enter the blood is very limited, and these acetic acids will be quickly cleaned up by the blood, making it difficult to change the acidity and alkalinity of the blood.
It is obviously not feasible to soften blood vessels by drinking vinegar. There are some other rumors about the vinegar food, among which vinegar food is called a "good health product". Is this really credible?
2. Can food soaked in vinegar soften blood vessels and reduce three highs? Cancer detour?
People's Hospital of Peking University Cardiology, chief physician Zhang Haicheng said that once blood vessels are sclerotic due to aging, it is irreversible, and the only effective way for this is prevention. Atherosclerosis is also irreversible in most cases, and the development of the disease can only be alleviated through medication, lifestyle improvement, etc.
Next, let’s learn about the effects of some so-called health foods soaked in vinegar are reliable? . Can food soaked in vinegar reduce sugar?
Vinegar does have a certain role in reducing post-meal blood sugar, but this effect is limited to white steamed buns , bread, rice and other foods with high glycemic index . If you eat low glycemic index foods such as oats and coarse grains, the effect is not obvious.
. Can food soaked in vinegar reduce blood pressure?
High blood pressure has many causes. It is difficult to reduce blood pressure by food soaked in vinegar, and it is more of a comforting effect. Many people directly stop antihypertensive drugs and rely on jealous food to reduce blood pressure. Doing soaks in this way can easily lead to blood pressure fluctuations.
. Can food soaked in vinegar fight cancer?
Soaking food in vinegar can cause certain changes in the taste and ingredients of the food, but it cannot change the nature of the food itself, and it will not play a role in treating certain diseases (such as cancer). This is an unscientific statement. If it is really so magical, why are there many people still dying of cancer?
In addition to some of the above rumors, there are also people who say that drinking vinegar for the elderly is good for health and can play a health role. Is this feasible?
3. Is it good or bad for the elderly to drink vinegar every day?
is generally not recommended to drink vinegar directly. The main ingredient in vinegar is acetic acid, which has a certain corrosiveness. direct contact with the mouth, esophagus, and stomach will bring certain irritation . In people who suffer from gastric ulcers on an empty stomach, drinking vinegar can easily cause stomach irritation and then severe pain.
However, for the elderly, adding vinegar appropriately is also beneficial for seasoning and , increase appetite,
Vinegar can stimulate gastric acid secretion and promote digestion. For some elderly people with deterioration in taste and chronic diseases, poor appetite can be improved.
, remove fishy and remove greasy
Vinegar is a food that can remove fishy and remove greasy. When cooking seafood, animal offal and other foods in daily life, adding vinegar can play a good role in removing fishy and removing odor. Some foods with a heavier taste can be soaked in vinegar before cooking, which can help remove oil on the surface of the food while removing the odor.
Appropriate addition of vinegar during cooking can improve the deliciousness of the food, which can reduce the amount of salt used, which is beneficial for health.
Vinegar is one of the most common seasonings in our lives. It has many functions, but it cannot be said to cure diseases or soften blood vessels. You must learn to identify rumors to avoid unnecessary threats to your health. #绿子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子子� 》.Shenzhen Health Commission.2016-12-02
