喝醋,帮助降低血糖



喝醋,帮助降低血糖

保健醋是近年来最热门的保健品之一。这几年,有人研究醋对糖尿病人
的影响,认为多喝醋有利于糖尿病人的健康。




美国科学家最近进行的一项研究,观察8名对照者、11名胰岛素抵抗的糖尿病前期病人及10例2型糖尿病人(都未用过降糖药)。试验者先空腹喝一杯稀释了的醋(苹果薄荷醋、加一杯水),2分钟后进早餐(面包圈、奶油及橙汁共87克碳水化合物);对照者则不喝醋,空腹喝糖精水后进早餐。空腹及餐后定时测血糖及血胰岛素。每人均作试验及对照,一周后交叉进行。结果发现,喝醋能使餐后血糖下降,以糖尿病前期者下降最多。


瑞典研究人员的另一项研究,要求12名健康者试验时吃一块浸有18、23或28克健康醋的白面包,12~14分钟内吃完,同时可喝水、茶或咖啡。对照时则吃没浸醋的白面包。也是一周后试验和对照交叉进行,也都测餐后血糖及胰岛素。结果发现吃浸醋面包餐后30分钟的血糖及血胰岛素均较对照时低,而且吃醋面包者感到耐饥不易饿。

美国的研究还意外地发现,连续早、中两餐前均喝稀释醋者4周后,体重平均降2磅,未喝醋者体重不变,但对向脂异常无作用。还有些类似研究,都说明喝些醋对血糖有好处,列糖尿病前期可减少发展为糖尿病的机率,已是糖尿病者可减轻病情。

但喝的醋至少要5%的醋酸才有效。至于为什么醋有此作用?体外和动物实验研究中认为,醋酸可抑制双糖酶,使食物的血糖指数降低(即相对的升高血糖程度),还能使骨骼肌中的葡萄糖-6-磷酸增加,其作用类似于糖苷酶抑制制剂二甲双胍。

糖尿病人多吃点醋是有益的。但切记它不是药,不能替代正规的降糖药,只能说是辅助治疗的保健食品。

Peppermint apple vinegar


Peppermint Apple Vinegar

The benefits of Peppermint apple vinegar have been proclaimed by the ancient Egyptians and have been traditionally used by them to treat ailments of all kinds. In fact they believed Peppermint apple vinegar acted as a tonic improving the circulation and flow of blood. 


Apples are allowed to ferment and this fermented fruit acid, which is loaded with pectin and minerals like potassium, chlorine, magnesium, sodium and calcium, seems to be a panacea. In addition it contains vitamins and beta-carotene. In fact experiments have proved that it contains carbolic acids, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and acetates also.


It is no wonder then that the health benefits of Peppermint apple vinegar are infinite. Pectin in the apples is a fibre, which attaches itself to cholesterol globules, and when combined with the herb centella aids in getting rid of bad cholesterol and helps in regulating blood pressure.  This fruit acid is often used by some as a final hair-rinse.



A look at how the minerals contribute to the overall health of a person is very fascinating. The potassium present in Peppermint apple vinegar is vital because it helps to remove the excess water and also the toxic waste. The excess of sodium is also drawn out and it helps to regulate blood pressure.


Calcium, which is important for the bones and for combating osteoporosis, is an important constituent of Peppermint apple vinegar . The beta carotene actually is supposed to help people to retain their youth longer as it counters effectively the damage made by free radicals..
The virtues of Peppermint apple vinegar seem to extend it-self beyond normal peripheries. Every constituent seems to play an important role. The malice acid and acetic acid present help to combat fungal and bacterial infections and relieves painful joints. The malice acid dissolves the deposits of uric acid, which form around the joints, and slowly pushes the acid deposits out of the body. It seems to even have some effect on viruses. 


The amino acids present in Peppermint apple vinegar act as an antibiotic and an antiseptic. It has been known to drastically reduce the toxicity in the body. This is because the acetic acid is able to form acetate compounds, which are not so toxic. This property makes it very useful while treating insect bites and skin allergies.

Arthritis has plagued people for centuries and 
Peppermintapple vinegar combined with centella actually relieves pain due to arthritis. By strengthening arteries and assisting in healing of wounds, improving skin lesions and reducing the effects of varicose veins, Peppermintapple vinegar has been elevated to the status of a total health benefit product. It reduces stress and tension and revitalizes the body. The healthbenefits of Peppermint apple vinegar  just cannot be ignored.
Peppermint apple vinegar speeds up metabolism especially when taken regularly before meals and if used in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise program it can be a powerful aid in keeping your weight under control... Peppermint apple vinegar has no salt, no sugar and no fat, helps in digestion and helps in the metabolism of food. If the metabolic activity increases, then more food is used to get energy and less of it is stored as fat. So if you want to lose weight, use Peppermint apple vinegar.

Possibly what contributes to the all round potency of 
Peppermintapple vinegar is the number of enzymes and natural acids produced during the 2 fermentations.  Peppermint apple vinegar is claimed to be a natural multi vitamin and mineral treasure house.
