Sunomono help keep blood pressure in check

[thomas]

According to a study published by Heliyon, the regular consumption of sunomono (酢の物, vinegared sidedishes) correlates with lower blood pressure among older men (40+). Sunomono is a Japanese side dish with rice vinegar and sliced cucumber or seaweed.

Prior research shows that people who drink 30 mL of vinegar daily tend to display lower blood pressure levels. However, studied individuals also lost notable weight, which may explain the aforementioned lower blood pressure. "The benefits of vinegar in a healthy diet are well known. Our research is the first observational study of these benefits; we didn't ask participants to change anything," co-author Hiroaki Kanouchi explains in a statement. Researchers say that studying sunomono provided a unique opportunity to perform an observational project assessing if vinegar consumption (within the context of an otherwise normal diet) correlates with blood pressure fluctuations. Sunomono is a very common food in Japan, typically eaten habitually by older generations. Locally, Japanese supermarkets offer a wide variety of individually prepackaged sunomono portions. In other words, sunomono is a big source of dietary vinegar among the Japanese.

My wife has been swearing on vinegar for years. This year, I have given in and started drinking this on a daily basis. Not too bad.
