Vinegar, avoiding the accumulation of body fat
Researchers in Japan has reported new tests on the regular vinegar salad dressings, pickles, food and other, showing his old reputation in folk medicine as a general health worker.
The studies present new evidence through which claimed the properties attributed to vinegar in their ability to avoid or prevent the accumulation of body fat and thus weight gain.
T. Kondo and colleagues conducted a new study based on the concepts established by folk medicine since ancient times, the effects of vinegar on health, as people have used for a variety of ailments.
Modern scientific research suggests that acetic acid, which is the main component of vinegar, can help control blood pressure, blood sugar levels and fat accumulation.
This new study showed that laboratory animals fed a high fat diet, but with the addition of acetic acid in it, developed significantly less body fat (up to 10 percent less) than another group of animals under the same conditions but without the addition of acetic acid.
Importantly, the new research adds evidence to the belief that the struggle to make acetic acid, fat, in the genes for enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation, and both genes, and proteins involved in the breakdown of fat, are deleted to avoid the accumulation of the same body.
