Balsamic Vinegar : The beneficial properties!

Balsamic vinegar is known as the perfect seasoning to accompany our dishes, but few knows that it has beneficial properties as well. Curious to know what it is all about? Keep on reading!

In the Middle Ages in Italy it was believed that balsamic vinegar could be a medicine for all ills, from common headaches to more serious disorders. But only the noble and the wealthy merchants could afford the balsamic vinegar. One more reason why for a long time this type of vinegar was considered a real drug rather than a food: in the past, the balsamic vinegar has been used for its astringent and disinfectant properties as well as for its food flavour. Its antibacterial and antiviral properties were exploited to disinfect wounds. It was also used to treat nail infections and skin problems, such as acne.

Balsamic vinegar would increase the amount of time our body devotes to digest foods. In this way, we will avoid the introduction of excess food because our body will have the chance to reach the sense of satiety. Balsamic vinegar helps digestion and maintain proper body weight. It has a less calorie and less fatty dressing than other sauces, such as mayonnaise, and does not contain cholesterol.

Moreover, it seems that the B.V. has interesting properties in terms of improving blood sugar regulation. Polyphenols in vinegar help enzymes break down protein into amino acids to help metabolic processes. B.V. reduces blood pressure and improves heart health. It favours the absorption of calcium and magnesium. It has anti-pain properties, especially in case of migraine.

It is clear that the original Balsamic Vinegar of Modena . can be employed not only in our dishes but also to relieve some little problems. We recommend you to distinguish from the cheapest quality of balsamic to the finest.
