The doctor analyzes popular tips from the Internet
Is it harmful vinegar? The question is complex.
It is a natural substance that is formed as a result of various processes. The most understandable of them is fermentation and decay, but in our body it participates in much more pleasant things. For example, in the synthesis of steroids - substances with high biological activity. That is, vinegar is a difficult and very important thing.
But the main problem is probably that we never have a deficiency of vinegar in the body. If some system needs acetic acid, the body synthesizes it itself.
To whom vinegar is definitely contraindicated
Therefore, all its use is possible. only as a seasoning - a little bit and only if other diseases allow. For example vinegar contraindicated with peptic ulcer disease, as it can lead to serious consequences up to gastric bleeding. In general, with impaired gastrointestinal function, liver and kidney damage, dishes with vinegar should be avoided.
The Internet is full of recipes for treating anything with vinegar.. I have even met diabetes medicine.
There are tips to drink apple cider vinegar every morning. Allegedly, this is a "concentrated benefit from apples", improves digestion, accelerates metabolism and generally promotes weight loss.
I believe that these advisers in many ways confuse vinegar with lemon juice.
What is the difference between vinegar and lemon juice
Lemon is a paradoxical fruit despite to a sour taste in the body, it behaves like an alkali. And it helps (quite a bit) to align the acid-base balance of the body, which, during life, provokes a lot of oxidation products.
And vinegar, even apple cider, is primarily acid.
Of course, it contains useful substances, trace elements, fermentation products, but this is definitely not a "concentrated benefit of apples." And if there are problems with digestion, then acetic acid (and it is the basis of all vinegars) at once will erase all the benefits.
Therefore, treat it wisely - use it a little, rarely and with pleasure.
We do not eat black pepper in horse doses. We flavor their food.
This recommendation - just a little - applies to fashionable grape vinegar, balsamic, pickled cucumbers, lecho and other twists.
Alas, I cannot say which dose is absolutely safe. For myself, I define a teaspoon of balsamic in a salad a couple of times a week.
