【8 health benefits of drinking vinegar】:

1. Enhance immunity Vinegar can balance the pH value in the blood, increase the antibodies in the blood, enhance the phagocytic ability of lymphocytes responsible for immunity, and improve the body's resistance to disease.

2. Promote body metabolism. Vinegar is rich in nutrients, including vitamins, amino acids, minerals, organic acids, acetic acid and enzymes, which can promote body metabolism, improve physical discomfort and help people regain health.

3. Prevent body fluids from becoming acidic . Vinegar is an alkaline food that can help keep human body fluids in a weak alkaline state. It can also prevent obesity, eliminate muscle and joint pain, improve appetite, treat constipation, lower blood pressure, eliminate palpitations and asthma, and improve diabetes. And because vinegar is rich in organic acids, consuming vinegar can enable the citric acid cycle in the human body to smoothly carry out the aerobic metabolism of glucose, produce the energy needed by the human body, avoid lactic acid accumulation, and eliminate fatigue. But one thing to note is that some people believe that acidic vinegar will become alkaline after entering the human body, so it can regulate the pH value of blood and maintain human health. However, the human body's structure is very complex, and it is impossible to regulate the pH value of blood by drinking vinegar alone.

4. Activate cells Most foods require the assistance of enzymes to be digested and absorbed by the human body, and vinegar is rich in active enzymes. When enzymes combine with amino acids, they can help cell metabolism, promote blood circulation, secrete hormones, and thereby increase muscle tension and firmness, which is of great help to the human body.

5. Calcium supplementation: Calcium is a nutrient that is not easily absorbed by the human body. However, if it is consumed with brewed vinegar, the vitamins and organic acids (including acetic acid, citric acid, malic acid, etc.) contained in the vinegar can effectively extract the calcium, phosphorus and minerals in the food to form calcium acetate, which can be absorbed by the body to supplement calcium. In addition, adding some vinegar when cooking bone soup can also help calcium dissolve from the bones.

6. Eliminate fatigue and muscle soreness Vinegar contains citric acid, which can effectively decompose lactic acid and pyruvic acid - these two substances can cause fatigue in human muscles - quickly eliminate human fatigue and calm the nervous system. So you can drink a glass of vinegar after exercise to relieve muscle soreness caused by exercise.

7. Improve digestive ability. Vinegar can stimulate gastric acid secretion and help digestion. For some people with less gastric acid secretion, eating a moderate amount of vinegar is helpful, but for people with normal gastric acid secretion, it may not necessarily increase gastric acid secretion. In addition, the acetic acid and citric acid contained in vinegar can penetrate the food we eat, extract nutrients from the food, help the stomach and intestines absorb it, and supplement the nutrients needed by the organs, enhance vitality, and improve physical fitness.

8. Reduce body fat According to Japanese research, the acetic acid contained in vinegar can promote the activation of AMPK during liver metabolism, which can inhibit the synthesis of sugar into fat and promote fat burning, helping to reduce body fat.
