Although vinegar is beneficial to our health, like any food in the world, we should consume it properly to get the maximum benefit from it. In fact, one teaspoon of vinegar (diluted in a glass of warm water) per day will do the healthy trick. And for people who have gastric ulcer problem, they should limit their vinegar intake. Also, since acetic acid may erode the surface of the teeth, we should raise our mouth after drinking vinegar.
Furthermore, there are foods that should not be paired with vinegar or otherwise their nutrition will be damaged. Below are some of them.
1. Carrot
Vinegar will destroy the carotene contained in carrot and overall reduce its nutrition.
2. Alcohol
While vinegar in stomach, especially in a weak one, is usually a sufficient stimulus, alcohol can stimulate stomach acids and irritate stomach lining. To avoid adding burden on the stomach or even developing gastritis, we should not take both of them at the same time.
3. Milk
When vinegar and milk are taken together, acid will induce coagulation of milk protein, which reduces digestion and hinders absorption.
