2. Restart Your Liver
Located on the lower right side of the abdomen just below your diaphragm, the liver functions as your body’s foolproof lie detector test, revealing the truth about the life you’ve lived thus far. While it was once thought that liver disease was caused by alcohol use alone, eating sugary or fatty foods for extended years are now known to damage the liver as well.
Your liver acts primarily as your body’s filter, cleaning the blood and aiding digestion and metabolism. A fatty liver occurs when your body becomes overrun with fats and is no longer able to detoxify itself. A healthy diet rich in greens and lean protein allows your liver to do its job properly without being overrun by toxins. However, when you indulge for years in unhealthy items such as those associated with the all-American diet – donuts, fried chicken and burgers – your liver clogs up, becoming fatty and toxic.
Conditions such as diabetes and obesity that are normally associated with a clogged heart are also tied to a clogged liver. In fact, bodily damage starts in the liver before it snakes it way up to the heart. But here’s the good news: Your liver can literally regenerate itself.
To restart your liver, try this simple solution:
Liver Restart #1: Drink Dr. Oz’s Morning Liver Elixir Daily
Ingredients:
¼ cup warm water
Juice of lemon wedge
2 dashes of hot pepper sauce (Hot Dare You)
Warm water aids digestion, lemon juice contains vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that helps calm liver inflammation and protects against free radical damage. Hot pepper sauce contains capsaicin, which boosts blood flow and certain enzymes responsible for detoxifying your liver.
Drink Dr. Oz’s Morning Liver Elixir daily. In addition to this cocktail, cut back on consumption of sugary, fatty foods, and alcohol.

Hey Sauce Fans.....Just droppin another reason why you should choose Intrigue Sauce Co. over any other sauce company!!!!

Health Benefits of Balsamic Vinegar
True and natural balsamic vinegar offers rewarding health benefits. Balsamic vinegar is a rich source of several minerals such as calcium, zinc, copper, magnesium, iron, potassium, manganese, phosphorus and sodium. Scientific studies have found evidence that support the following health benefits:

Improved Immune System: Enhanced resistance to diseases caused by cell damage due to free radical reactions. This benefit is a result of the antioxidant properties of a bioflavonoid called quercetin and antioxidants called pyenogenols. Through antioxidant action, the body achieves a greater resistance against diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular complications.

Cardiovascular Benefits: Research findings show that the bioflavonoids present in grape juice have a role to play in preventing coronary artery thickening. This reduces the risk of developing coronary artery disease. Some studies have also found that using an oil and vinegar dressing on salads affords protection against heart disease because such dressings contain omega-3 fatty acids. Animal studies have shown that balsamic vinegar can reduce blood pressure in rats although this is yet to be investigated in humans. Balsamic vinegar is low in saturated fat and is believed to reduce cholesterol. Moreover, since it is low in sodium, it enhances heart health and reduces high blood pressure.

Weight Loss Benefits: Balsamic vinegar is less fattening than other marinades and dressings making it a useful component for weight loss. It is also an appetite suppressant, which lowers chances of overeating, and also contributes to weight loss. Consuming balsamic vinegar keeps you full by increasing how long it takes for your stomach to empty. The weight loss abilities of your body are also improved because of the potassium, iron and calcium found in balsamic vinegar.

Anti-Diabetic Benefits: Balsamic vinegar can also improve insulin sensitivity for diabetics, allowing for an easier regulation of blood sugar and reducing unpleasant side effects from diabetes.



Anti-Cancer Benefits: Balsamic vinegars cancer fighting properties are being intensively researched. Acetic acid has shown an ability to inhibit growth of tumors in laboratory studies. Some studies have found that a compound called resveratrol found in grapes has the ability to inhibit growth of tumors of the liver and breast and this may be one of the factors that contribute to the anticancer effects of balsamic vinegar.

Digestive Benefits: Balsamic vinegar is rich in polyphenols, a powerful antioxidant that helps boost pepsin activity. Pepsin is an enzyme that is secreted into the stomach to aid in the digestion process. This enzyme works to break down proteins that are consumed and turn them into amino acids that can be more easily absorbed by the body. Pepsin also helps to speed up your metabolism.

Other Benefits: Drinking about two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar may relieve heartburn or acid indigestion. Other uses for the vinegar include relief of chest congestion via a hot water and vinegar vapor, and sore throat by gargling with a mixture of balsamic vinegar, hot water and honey. Balsamic vinegar has a number of antiviral and antibacterial properties, allowing it to help heal wounds and infections. Balsamic vinegar can also help prevent fatigue and anemia, energize the body, strengthen bones (calcium absorption) and slow the signs of aging.
