The desire to eat something sour indicates problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Anton Polyakov, an endocrinologist, nutritionist, and psychologist, told about this on Tuesday, March 4.

"It can be a reduced acidity of gastric juice, hypo—acidic gastritis, for example, and through acidic food the body wants to cheer itself up a little, that is, to stimulate the cells of the stomach and produce more hydrochloric acid," the expert said in an interview with the website href="https://aif.ru/health/dietolog-polyakov-tyaga-k-kislomu-mozhet-signalizirovat-ot-problemah-s-zhkt " target="_blank">aif.ru .

The doctor noted that cravings for sour food can occur in people with a deficiency of nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants.

"Sometimes we intuitively reach for products that make up for deficiencies. So, another reason why you want sour food is the need for the intestinal microflora to eat certain foods in order to grow and develop," concluded Polyakov.

In turn, nutritionist, MD Mariyat Mukhina, in an interview with "Moscow 24" has listed drinks that help reduce blood pressure.

The doctor advised you to pay attention to pomegranate juice, a source of antioxidants and vitamin C. It improves the condition of the inner lining of blood vessels and regulates blood pressure levels. href="https://360.ru/news/zdorove/dietolog-muhina-soki-iz-granata-i-svekly-pomogajut-snizit-davlenie/ " target="_blank">360.ru .
