  • Drinking Some Vinegar Is Beneficial to Children
  • Preface: As we all know, vinegar is very healthy for human body. And this article will mainly talk about the benefits of vinegar on children's health.

    First of all, vinegar can stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and promote the digestion. As a result, for the children who lack of gastric acid in the body, drinking some vinegar appropriately is very helpful, because it can improve their appetite. In the hot summer, children may lack of appetite and don't want to eat food. In such a case, parents can add some vinegar in the diets, such as cold vegetables, pickled cucumber, lotus root and balsam pear, which can be served as the appetizers for children, and they will like these dishes very much.

    Secondly, vinegar can protect the vitamin C in children's body, and make them energetic.
    Because vitamin C is absorbed by a kind of selective cell in the gastrointestinal tract. This kind of cell likes living in the acidic environment. The acetic acid contained in vinegar will stimulate this cell, and make it absorb a large number of vitamin C. At the same time, most vegetables that contain plenty of vitamin C are acidic food, while vinegar is also acidic in nature. If these two kinds of acidic food react with each other, it will produce a catalytic effect, which can improve the absorption rate and utilization rate of vitamin C by the body.

    Thirdly, vinegar can promote the absorption of nutrients in the food.
    When parents make dishes for their children, they can add some vinegar in the food, which not only can improve the taste of the food and make it more delicious, but can also increase children's appetite and promote the absorption of the nutrients contained in the food.

    Fourthly, vinegar can enhance the function of liver and promote the metabolism of the body.
    Medical research has found out that, vinegar can reduce the content of urine glucose, and at the same time, it has diuretic effect,. As a result, it can reduce the burden on the kidney and enhance the function of liver.

    Fifthly, vinegar can promote the absorption of calcium.
    When parents cook the sparerib soup for their children, they can add a little vinegar in the soup. This can promote the calcium contained in the bones to release out in the soup, so the children can easily absorb calcium when drinking the soup.
