Dr. Yang Ziqi

The main health benefits of black beans soaked in vinegar include:

1. Improving vision: Black beans soaked in vinegar are rich in antioxidant components such as anthocyanins and vitamin A, which help protect the eyes and improve vision, making them especially suitable for people who frequently use computers or overuse their eyes.

2. Reducing the risk of "three highs" (high blood pressure, high blood lipid, and high blood sugar): Bioactive substances in black beans, such as linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and isoflavones, when combined with vinegar, can more effectively lower blood lipids, cholesterol, and blood glucose levels, thus playing a certain role in preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

3. Beauty and skin care: Various nutrients in black beans soaked in vinegar, such as B vitamins, amino acids, and calcium, help delay skin aging, reduce wrinkles, and maintain smooth, soft, and fair skin.

4. Promoting overall health: Black beans soaked in vinegar also help stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen, nourish yin, and benefit the kidneys, while enhancing bone and muscle strength. They can boost the immune system, alleviate fatigue, and promote general well-being.

However, excessive vinegar intake may irritate the gastric mucosa, so individuals with gastric ulcers or excessive stomach acid should consume this preparation with caution. While enjoying its health benefits, it is important to maintain a balanced and appropriate diet.
