Vinegar garlic is a food pickled with vinegar. Due to the pickling process, the original spicy and irritating taste of garlic will be greatly eliminated, leaving only the sour and crispy taste. Of course, vinegar garlic is not only delicious, but also has many benefits, such as improving skin quality, helping digestion and relieving greasiness, killing viruses and sterilizing, preventing diabetes, treating colds, etc. So, why does acetic acid have these effects? Let’s analyze it for you below!

Improve skin quality

Vinegar can prevent the formation of pigmentation spots. Summer is the season when the skin is most vulnerable to damage. The sunlight is strong and the sun exposure time is long. In addition, people wear less clothes and most of the skin is exposed. The skin's own protective substances - sebum and moisture evaporate in large quantities, making the skin appear rough and dry. Furthermore, under the influence of the sun's ultraviolet rays, skin pigmentation spots are easily formed. Mix half olive oil and half rice vinegar, stir well to make your own sunscreen, apply it evenly on the skin to protect against UV burns.

Digestion and relieving greasiness

Many people like to eat greasy food, and will feel greasy if they eat it frequently. At this time, eating some garlic soaked in aged vinegar, just a few cloves can help remove greasiness, increase gastric acid secretion and promote digestion.

Disinfection and sterilization

Garlic soaked in aged vinegar is made with aged vinegar and other vinegar, both of which have very good antiviral and sterilization effects. Eating them regularly can prevent colds and bacterial infections of the gastrointestinal tract. Studies have also shown that raw garlic has anti-cancer effects, and the allicin and garlic oil in raw garlic have the effects of anti-atherosclerosis and softening blood vessels.

Preventing diabetes

Garlic soaked in aged vinegar can prevent diabetes. This is because garlic contains ingredients that promote insulin secretion, which helps improve the body's glucose tolerance and thus lower blood sugar levels. In addition, aged vinegar can kill various bacteria that induce diabetes, thereby preventing the occurrence of diabetes.

Treat colds

Soak 10 grams of garlic (preferably single-headed garlic, about 2-3 heads) in 100 ml of aged vinegar. Soak for about 2 hours. Adults take 1 spoon each time, children 1/2 spoon, 3 times a day. This prescription is not effective for those who have already developed pneumonia or chronic bronchitis. If you think the taste is bad, you can add appropriate amount of rock sugar when taking it. This recipe can be taken after meals to reduce irritation to the stomach, but there are no other side effects.
