This fat-burner is likely in your cupboard

Here’s how to use it to make a difference in your waistline: {NAME}, I’m willing to bet you have a powerful superfood in your cupboard right now. And enjoying just a small amount of it each day can support your gut, joints, brain, and skin. So what’s this superfood hiding in plain sight? Vinegar. Here are just a few reasons I recommend adding it to your diet today:  #1: Vinegar can be a weight maintenance tool. You see, vinegar contains acetic acid… A fatty acid that can help you feel satiated. In fact, a Japanese study found that adding vinegar to peoples’ diets — and making NO other changes — caused a reduction in body weight.¹ So getting your daily dose of vinegar is a neat way to support a healthy body composition. #2: Vinegar supports your digestion. Acetic acid is also a postbiotic. If you’ve followed my work for a while, you may know that postbiotics are produced by the probiotics in a healthy gut. They’re actually a big part of the reason probiotics are so good for you! However, since most people’s guts have been assaulted by lectins, antibiotics, and other harmful additives in modern foods… The majority of people aren’t producing very many postbiotics. The good news is, consuming postbiotics like acetic acid can help you fight back. Because studies show acetic acid can: - Regulate your cravings  - Support the integrity of your gut lining²  - Repopulate your gut with good bugs³ #3: Vinegar is loaded with polyphenols. You probably know polyphenols are plant compounds that can have an amazing effect on your heart health, cognitive function, and more. Well, vinegar is chock full of them! Even better: Each type of vinegar contains a different blend of polyphenols… So if you want to maximize the benefits of vinegar, make sure you rotate between different types. (Just make sure to check the label carefully — many brands unfortunately add sugar to make their vinegar taste sweeter.) So what kind of vinegar should you get? Well the good news is, every type of vinegar contains polyphenols and acetic acid. Some of my favorites are champagne vinegar, fig vinegar, and apple cider vinegar... But my #1 recommendation is aged balsamic vinegar. That’s because aged balsamic vinegar actually contains one of the most concentrated forms of resveratrol you can get. Resveratrol is a “super polyphenol” that can support healthy joints, a sharp mind, and even young-looking skin. Even better: The longer you age balsamic vinegar, the more potent the nutrients become. So you’ll be doing your body a serious favor by finding a brand that’s aged for more than a decade. My favorite brand is Napa Valley Naturals. They actually age their balsamic vinegar for 25 years… But it’s still surprisingly affordable. (And no, there’s no affiliation — I just love the stuff!) Now, there are a ton of different ways to work vinegar into your diet. Some people like to take it as a shot each morning. It also makes a great addition to a salad. But if you want a delicious sauce that combines the benefits of vinegar with olive oil — another one of my favorite health-boosting foods… Give this Gundry-approved garlic aioli recipe a try. (It takes just a few minutes to make and tastes phenomenal.)  Dr. G’s Black Garlic Aioli Ingredients: - 2 cloves white garlic - 8 cloves black garlic - 1 pasture-raised egg yolk - 2 tablespoons vinegar - ½ teaspoon salt - ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil Instructions: - In a food processor, pulse together the white and black garlic until a smooth paste is formed, scraping down the sides intermittently.  - Add the egg yolk, vinegar, and salt to the mixture, and pulse until incorporated into the paste.  - With the food processor running, slowly pour the olive oil into the garlic mixture, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.  - Go slowly; it should take a couple minutes to get all the olive oil worked into the garlic.  - Continue processing until the mixture is thick and creamy. So try adding vinegar to your diet for the next week… And be sure to write to me about the health benefits you see! Looking out for you, Steven Gundry, MD [Steven Gundry, MD] Sources 1.
