When Zhang Chengyu feels that the weather is getting colder and colder, he can know that the Spring Festival is not far away. Citrus and other citrus fruits are delicious and nutritious on the table in autumn and winter, which can not only satisfy the taste buds, but also take care of health. In addition to directly peeling and chewing juicy oranges, Dr. Japanese Vinegar specially recommends homemade sour and sweet "orange vinegar", which is healthier than eating fresh oranges and may even have the effect of preventing osteoporosis and lowering blood sugar! Citrus vinegar has many benefits. Can prevent osteoporosis, relieve constipation, control blood sugar and lose weight. Junichiro Koizumi, honorary professor of Tokyo Agricultural University in Japan, has been studying vinegar for 43 years. He is known as the "Doctor of Vinegar". Adding citrus vinegar to make citrus vinegar can get twice the result with half the effort and improve the health effect by 2 times or even 5 times. Junichiro Koizumi emphasized that there have been experiments on mice, and it was found that vinegar has the effect of preventing osteoporosis, which can help improve the absorption rate of calcium and increase the calcium content in bones, while there is "β cryptoxanthin" in oranges, which can help promote bone formation and inhibit bone destruction. Professor Shimura Shi from the Department of Life Sciences of Japan Women's University once did a research and investigated the data of 699 residents in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, which is famous for its Wenzhou mandarin oranges. The results show that people who eat 3-4 satsumas a day have a 92% lower risk of osteoporosis than those who don't eat them. Medical circles speculate that the reason may be related to β cryptoxanthin rich in satsuma mandarin. Dr. Kazunari Tanaka, a Japanese "Dr. Citrus", a professor at Nagasaki Prefecture University and a doctor of agriculture who has studied oranges for many years, also said that there are more β -cryptoxanthin in oranges than other fruits, and eating three capsules a day may have a healthy effect. Studies have shown that people with higher levels of β -cryptoxanthin in their blood have a 92% lower risk of osteoporosis compared with fewer people. This is because β -cryptoxanthin can inhibit the operation of osteoclasts and help prevent osteoporosis. In addition, Kazunari Tanaka also suggested that it can be eaten with milk or yogurt. Eating together with dairy products is helpful to improve the absorption rate of β cryptoxanthin. It is found that milk can increase by about 1.9 times, and yogurt can also increase by 1.6 times. Moreover, citric acid in citrus can also increase the absorption rate of calcium in dairy products. Kazunari Tanaka also pointed out that β cryptoxanthin can not only prevent osteoporosis, but also help prevent cardiovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis and stroke. When picking, it is suggested to choose oranges with dark skin and small stalks, so that the picked oranges have high sweetness and high content of β cryptoxanthin, which is delicious and healthy. It is also recommended to eat with milk or yogurt. Eating with dairy products can not only supplement calcium, but also help to improve the absorption rate of β cryptoxanthin. It is found that milk can be increased by about 1.9 times, and yogurt can also be increased by 1.6 times. Junichiro Koizumi said that a follow-up survey of more than 65,438+00 years found that people with high levels of β cryptoxanthin in their blood had a lower risk of diabetes, and vinegar also inhibited the rise of blood sugar, which may help prevent diabetes. Improve constipation Citrus contains water-soluble dietary fiber "pectin", which can help the whole intestine and increase beneficial bacteria in the intestine, while vinegar has the function of gastrointestinal peristalsis, and the multiplication of the two can make the laxative effect better.

At the same time, the rich dietary fiber in citrus also has the function of regulating intestine and inhibiting cholesterol absorption. Vinegar can help reduce visceral fat, and also has the effect of losing weight. In addition, Shinohara Yuzhi, a Japanese management dietitian, also pointed out that vitamin C is the most widely known nutrition in citrus fruits, such as citrus. Vitamin C can help activate white blood cells, improve immunity, help the body to make collagen, and beautify muscles.
