Five Easy additions to benefit your efforts to bust belly fat and control blood sugar.
1. Cinnamon
Cinnamon and cinnamon bark oil are fantastic for supporting healthy blood sugar levels along with a low carb, real food eating plan.
Consume 3/4 tsp of true cinnamon a day:

2. Cayenne
Cayenne for Enhanced metabolism
- Cayenne Tincture: Liquid herbal extract supports the heart and circulatory system
- Easily absorbed liquid to help your body recognize & use herbs
- Prepared from the fruit (pepper) of certified organic Capsicum annum plants
- Capsaicinoids (CAPs) found in chili peppers and pepper extracts, are responsible for enhanced metabolism and increased fat loss. [source]
- Testimony, “Awesome stuff! I use this in my daily water routines. My main goal in using Cayenne is for the detoxing and weight management benefits. Although there are a ton of additional benefits as well. I use a 32oz stainless steel bottle filled with filtered water, 1 full dropper of this liquid cayenne and fresh squeezed lemon juice. I aim for 4 of these per day. I also use in cooking applications. I would highly recommend!” JM ~ Arizona
How to Use Cayenne Tincture
Add 1 full squeeze of the dropper bulb to 4 oz. of water or or other liquid, 2 to 4 times per day. It is easily absorbed into the bloodstream.
3. Ginger

Ideal Apple Cider Vinegar will meet these criteria:
- Organic – apples are heavily sprayed
- Raw, unpasteurized because heat kills enzymes. We want the enzymes active to enhance digestion.
- Unfiltered –Has the “mother” settlement with the probiotics.
- Not distilled like white vinegar (from grain) very refined
- The whole apple is used
- Undiluted! I have been recommending Bragg’s but now I have learned that there is an apple cider vinegar that is not diluted. Fairchild’s has no water added and will be darker because it is more concentrated. Bragg’s has 25% less vinegar than Fairchild’s.
- Cost is similar or better than Bragg’s, and you will get 100% Raw ACV with Fairchild’s. With Bragg’s you are paying for some water.
Fairchild’s 100% Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
No Water Added, Full Strength
Fairchild’s by Golden Valley Vinegar is the nation’s premier apple cider vinegar producer. Over the years, we’ve been a major supplier of pure, unfiltered and unpasteurized organic ACV to the industry’s biggest bottlers and distributors, providing our rich, golden, proprietary “with the Mother” product.
