Vinegar is a condiment that adds a sour taste to food. It has the effect of preventing spoilage and sterilizing. Vinegar not only enhances the preservability of food itself but also enters the body to help improve health.

The various organic acids in vinegar, such as amino acids and citric acid, help relieve fatigue, so consuming it when you feel easily exhausted and lethargic can be beneficial. Vinegar also promotes the excretion of waste products through diuretic action and prevents fat accumulation, making it helpful for women who need to diet.

It promotes blood circulation and activates metabolism, which also benefits skin health. Additionally, adding vinegar to food provides a tangy and refreshing taste, stimulating the appetite. Vinegar is divided into synthetic vinegar and brewed vinegar depending on the manufacturing method.

Synthetic vinegar is made by diluting acetic acid or acetic acid in drinking water and was once used as a disinfectant for food in restaurants and other places. However, as it became known that the chemicals contained in synthetic vinegar have adverse effects on the body, developed countries classify acetic acid as a poison.

 

Vinegar that is good for health refers to naturally fermented brewing vinegar. Commercially available brewing vinegars include apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, brown rice vinegar, grain vinegar, malt vinegar, grape vinegar, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, herb vinegar, and others. These brewing vinegars have various health benefits depending on their raw ingredients.

Among these, apple cider vinegar is not only a health food but also has such excellent efficacy that it has been used as a remedy for a long time. Based on sources such as the American health and medical media 'Prevention,' the health benefits of apple cider vinegar are summarized.
