How to take apple cider vinegar to thin the blood — 3 therapeutic recipes

Apple cider vinegar is widely used in folk medicine for the treatment of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system.

It is also believed that this supplement helps to normalize the pH level of the blood and reduce its viscosity.

What do doctors and scientists think about this? According to research , apple cider vinegar is really capable of lowering cholesterol levels, as well as thinning the blood.

In this article, we will look at everything about the effect of apple cider vinegar on blood density, and also tell you in what form and according to what scheme it should be consumed.

How does it affect the blood?

The composition of apple cider vinegar consists mainly of organic acids, essential oils (phytoncides can also be included there) and a small amount of mono- and polysaccharides, simple carbohydrates. Its basis is water.

Another feature of this vinegar is that it contains a whole range of biologically active additives that stimulate the metabolic processes of the stomach (but at the same time the acidity of its environment increases slightly).

What about blood viscosity? Apple cider vinegar significantly reduces the viscosity of blood and prevents its thickening, promotes the removal of free radicals, and also prevents the formation of cholesterol plaques (since it provokes the oxidation of most lipid groups, which also include low–density cholesterol - the basis of those plaques).

But apple cider vinegar increases the pH level, that is, Increases the alkaline balance blood plasma. This increases the negative charge of the erythrocyte membranes, thereby reducing the likelihood of their "sticking together". But, in fact, the impact is negligible. Doctors say that the inclusion of apple cider vinegar in the diet stimulates the normalization of blood pH balance, which really has a positive effect on work of the cardiovascular system overall.

5 beneficial properties for the cardiovascular system

Also, the use of apple cider vinegar, even in small quantities (literally 10-15 ml per day), contributes to:

  1. Improvement of the biochemical composition of the blood. In particular, vinegar regulates potassium-sodium metabolism, which helps to avoid stagnation, edema and improve the functionality of the urinary system as a whole. Naturally, the viscosity of the blood also normalizes from this.
  2. Normalizes the balance of shaped elements. The biologically active components included in the composition stimulate the hematopoietic function. But at the same time, the balance of both erythrocytes, platelets, and leukocytes is leveled to a stable level. This is especially useful for initial atherosclerosis (it allows you to practically neutralize all the negative consequences of the disease) and anemia.
  3. Enhances the tone of blood vessels , including those located in the brain . Theoretically, this reduces the likelihood of strokes, heart attacks, and varicose veins. In practice, a person feels Improving brain activity , which is a consequence of faster metabolism between neurons.
  4. Eliminates metabolic acidosis. This also reduces blood viscosity, but also accelerates the elimination of toxins, free radicals (which may cause cancer cells to form in the future).
  5. Normalizes blood pressure. The possibility of vinegar contributes to this improve vascular wall tone , preventing their stretching or vice versa – severe constriction. By the way, there are a lot of reviews that apple cider vinegar also helps to get rid of headaches during migraine attacks (a compress is made from it with the addition of cabbage leaf).

How to take it correctly?

The simplest option – add it as a spice for making various kinds of salads. Apple cider vinegar perfectly replaces the usual table vinegar, it goes well with fruit salads, among other things.

How to drink it and what to mix it with? For gastritis, such vinegar is better dilute in water with honey . There is also a category of people who find the taste of such a product disgusting – this advice is suitable for them. Unlike a regular canteen, there is no unpleasant aftertaste after the apple.

Apple cider vinegar should be consumed in the morning – at this point, metabolic processes proceed faster, biologically active additives will normalize vascular tone.

 

3 therapeutic recipes based on it

The following folk methods can be used to thin the blood:

  1. With honey. For cooking, you will need to mix 1-2 teaspoons of honey, add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, as well as 10 milliliters of lemon juice.
