A 45 year old man insists on drinking vinegar and softening his blood vessels every day. How will his health be six months later?
Cardiovascular disease is sometimes as harmful as cancer. Out of every 5 deaths, 2 die due to vascular disease
Cardiovascular disease is sometimes as harmful as cancer. Out of every 5 deaths, 2 die due to vascular disease. This data is sufficient to illustrate the problem. According to research data, cancer accounts for about 26% of the main causes of death among Chinese residents, while cardiovascular diseases account for more than 40%. Cardiovascular disease is closely related to vascular sclerosis, and there are many folk stories about how diet can soften blood vessels. The most common way to soften is to drink red wine or aged vinegar, especially when paired with foods such as onions. But is this really the case?
Mr. Zeng is 45 years old this year, and after years of hard work, he finally rose to the management level in a trading company with a considerable income. Because of this, he pays more attention to his physical health. However, during a physical examination organized by the unit, Mr. Zeng found significant hardening of his blood vessels. This made him alert, as his father passed away due to vascular disease in his later years, despite being in good health. Worried that he would also follow his father's footsteps, Mr. Zeng began to search for a way to soften his blood vessels. He decided to drink a small glass of aged vinegar every day to soften his blood vessels based on online information.
However, the results of a physical examination six months later surprised Mr. Zeng. After drinking vinegar for more than half a year, his blood vessel condition did not improve, but instead his health index decreased. Mr. Zeng, who had never had gastrointestinal problems before, found several ulcer points during this examination. He recalled that he had indeed begun to experience symptoms of stomach pain and pantothenic acid. After communicating with the doctor, it was learned that his gastric ulcer was caused by drinking vinegar every day. In other words, drinking vinegar to protect his health actually makes his body even more unhealthy.
So, what are the effects of drinking vinegar and red wine on blood vessels? Legend has it that the magical substance that can soften blood vessels is acetic acid, but in fact, acetic acid cannot enter the interior of blood vessels. Even if a person drinks a large amount of vinegar, most of it will only be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and rarely enter the blood vessels. Even if a small amount of vinegar enters the blood, the strong acid-base balance ability of the human body will adjust the PH value by itself, and the acidity and alkalinity of the Internal environment will not change. In addition, acetic acid can not solve the problem of Atherosclerosis. The main component of plaques in many people's blood vessels is not calcium, but fat. Vinegar cannot dissolve plaques or unblock blood clots, and relying on drinking vinegar to solve vascular problems is unscientific.
On the other hand, although Resveratrol, the magic ingredient in red wine, has been proved by scientific research to have certain health effects, these studies are limited to animal experiments and have not been verified in human beings. In addition, drinking a large amount of red wine as a solution to vascular problems may actually lead to faster hardening of blood vessels.
Some people are not suitable for drinking vinegar. Firstly, patients with gastrointestinal diseases should not drink vinegar because vinegar can corrode the gastrointestinal mucosa and stimulate the gastrointestinal tract. Secondly, people who take alkaline drugs such as sodium bicarbonate and magnesium oxide are also not suitable for drinking vinegar. Finally, people taking antibiotics should not drink vinegar, as many antibiotics have reduced efficacy in acidic environments.
In short, to protect the health of the heart, brain, and blood vessels, the key lies not in drinking vinegar, but in cultivating light eating habits and healthy exercise habits.
In this article, we learned about the harm of cardiovascular disease and the folk saying that diet can soften blood vessels. However, it has been proven that drinking vinegar does not effectively soften blood vessels and may instead lead to other health problems. Therefore, we need to recognize that the key to protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health lies in developing good lifestyle habits, rather than relying on some magical food or drink.
In this regard, I believe that scientific popularization and health education are crucial. We should spread correct health concepts to the public and let them understand the true ways to maintain cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. In addition, the government and relevant departments should also increase investment in health education to improve people's Health literacy, so as to reduce the tragedies caused by wrong health concepts. At the same time, each of us should also learn self-care, pay attention to our own physical conditions, and achieve early detection and treatment to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
