Folk remedy that vinegar soaked peanuts can soften blood vessels and play the role of lowering blood pressure, in fact, this is obvious rumors without any theoretical basis. Softening blood vessels through vinegar requires taking dozens of pounds of vinegar to play a weak role in softening blood vessels, and a large amount of acetic acid is harmful to the body, far more than its benefits of softening blood vessels. Therefore there is no basis for hoping to soften blood vessels by drinking vinegar. Hypertension patients should pay attention to low-salt and low-fat diet and light diet in their daily life, and such high-calorie and high-fat nut food as peanut should be eaten less or even not. Eat more high-calcium, high-protein foods, especially foods rich in high-quality protein such as fish, shrimp, and less low-quality protein such as pork, lamb and other red meat, quit smoking and limit alcohol with appropriate aerobic exercise. On the basis of life regulation, you should also follow the doctor’s instructions and take the appropriate antihypertensive drugs for you.
