So, what are some foods that you can eat
that actually make you feel full? And
and how do you eat them? Like the people
who had the higher dose, 3 tablespoons
of lost more weight, lost more body fat
than the ones who had one. When you're
sleeping and not eating, your body is
burning down fuel from your fat cells.
You're actually losing weight, burning
fat while you're sleeping. Well, how
long do you have to not eat for this to
work? So, this is actually the important
part. We know that 8 hours is where
you're going to start to get that
benefit gut health. Turns out the latest
research shows that this is as important
in ways that we don't haven't fully
figured out yet for longevity. When you
get up in the morning, this is like a
super little easy tip that I tell
anybody. I do I practice it myself. And
it turns out the people who wound up
having the best cognition brain health
in the long run were the people that had
a diet. Wherever your starting point is,
this is the key thing. You can always
begin a healthier life and get over your
own body fat. Like like you can win that
battle easily by doing a couple of
things. I tell the first thing you do is
[Music]
[Applause]
to feel full, you're less likely to
overeat, right? Right? I mean, it just
doesn't feel good to stuff yourself to
the gills. All right. So, what are some
foods that you can eat that actually
make you feel full? And and how do you
eat them so you can kind of get to that
better desired state? Well, first of
all, um foods that have a lot of dietary
fiber like chickpeas, legumes, lentils,
white beans. I mean, you ever you ever
have like a bean taco? All right. Like
one bean taco will make you eat less
dinner later on, right? for lunch for
they'll make you eat less dinner later
on. And that's because beans with all
that dietary fiber actually have a
satiety effect not only on your gut but
also in your brain. And that's a good
thing. And that dietary fiber by the way
has a fringe benefit, a big one, which
is that diet that dietary fiber feeds
our gut microbiome. And that gut
microbiome turns out to be much more
important than we thought for longevity.
Okay? And this is an area that I'm super
fascinated by because here we are
talking about gut health and
anti-inflammation and autoimmune
diseases and all that all the the
current discussion around gut health.
All right. Turns out the latest research
shows that this is as important in ways
that we don't haven't fully figured out
yet for longevity.
Supporting the gut microbiome. That's
right.
Okay. So, dietary fiber is important.
Um, we talk a lot about protein, the
value of protein on this podcast, uh, as
well. Would you say that protein is is
important as well? Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Protein is super important as especially
once you get beyond the age of 40, most
people need to actually keep up and
build up on their protein. So, the
question is, what is your source of
protein? Now, I'm somebody who believes
that uh uh having a balanced diet, more
of an omnivore type of diet. You're
you're capable and willing to you're
opening your mind to eat anything that's
good for you. And and by the way,
preference is also really important. You
want to eat the things that are good for
you that you actually enjoy eating. Like
that's the alignment you're really
looking for. Listen, you want to live
long and live well. You want to do the
things that you want to do. You don't
want to actually feel like you're in a
box or a cage, right? And so this is why
the choice of protein becomes important.
Now look, um there's a lot of data and a
lot of people that say that you should
cut down or cut out red meat. I leave it
for the people that really take a stance
for or against that. Okay? What I say is
that, you know, eating meat is part of
an omnivore balanced diet. You can have
red meat, but you can also have poultry.
You can also have fish. All right? And
if you want to go into the plant realm,
you've got all these legumes and you got
plant-based proteins. They're all good
as well. Interestingly, there was a
study on longevity that looked at uh
different dietary patterns to figure out
um what are the patterns that seem to
lead to better brain health. Brain
health. Okay. So, less dementia. And it
turns out and they studied um people who
um ate a lot of carbs. They studied
people that ate a lot of junk food. uh
uh and a lot of pro and a lot of
specific protein. They they studied
vegetarians and they studied people with
a balanced diet. And it turns out the
people who wound up having the best
cognition, brain health in the long run
were the people that had a balanced diet
better than the vegetarians. Okay? Now,
we don't understand the whole aspect of
it, but it just goes to show you if you
take a religious style side about your
foods, you might actually be missing out
on something that science is still in
the process of figuring out. Balanced
diet is actually there and protein is a
is one of those critical macros that we
have a lot of choices to actually get
from. So, that's what I actually think
about protein. Yeah, I think about it. I
mean, less in terms of balance and more
in terms of dietary diversity. Like,
it's really important to incorporate
different sources of protein because,
you know, if all you're doing is eating
red meat, then you're missing out on the
abundance of omega-3 fatty acids in
fatty fish, for example. So, for me, I
feel like based on what I understand
about the literature, it's it's it's
there's value in it's a way of hedging
your bets at the very least. like you're
incorporating all of these different
varied micronutrients that are found in
different protein sources, right? No,
that's completely true. And and this
this is not so much of an argument to be
a carnivore, but what you're pointing
out is incredibly important. There are
things that you can get in meats that
you don't get as well from legumes, for
example. Iron, uh, like at a high level
because it comes from blood, you know,
which is what you get in meat. That's
really important. Omega-3s, you're not
going to be getting a lot of those. Even
in the animals that eat plants, you're
not going to get as much as you get in
fish, you know. Uh, and so I think that
um, you know, as a researcher, I follow
the bouncing ball of where the evidence
comes from. And it turns out that while
it's absolutely true, eating a primarily
plant-based diet is a generally better
way to go. Um, so far all the evidence
from longevity perspective says that
eating more diversity is actually going
to support your long life. Hey there,
check this out. I've got a special
resource on the five science-based ways
to lose fat that I made just for you,
and it's free. Many of us want to lose
weight for our own reasons, but I'm here
to tell you that there's an even better
reason to lose harmful excess visceral
fat for your health. And guess what? In
this resource, I share the five things
that anyone can do to lose harmful
excess body fat. All you have to do is
click the link below to access the
resource. Now, back to the video. Let me
give you some really simple tools that
anyone can actually use that they
probably even heard about. One is called
intermittent fasting. Okay? But I'm
going to debunk that, too. Oh my god.
So, you're telling me to do it, now
you're debunking it? Let me tell you.
First of all, intermittent fasting is
thought of as a health fad, a trend that
everybody does and you got to go, oh,
what is it like 16 hours of not eating
and squeeze everything in eight hours?
Hey, listen, that would be very hard for
someone like me and probably like you
running around all the time. Okay, it
does it doesn't work very well. But let
me tell you uh that there's more than
one way to get at it. And the best way
to intermittently fast is uh to take
advantage of the fact that when you're
sleeping, when we're sleeping, we're not
eating. Okay? When we're not eating,
we're fasting. Okay? So, sleeping is
intermittent fasting because we don't
sleep all the time. Uh uh and when we
get up and we break our fast, which is
called breakfast. All right? Um and
that's the best way to get intermittent
fasting. But I got to give you a little
understanding of this, okay? Because
after you eat the last bite of food the
night
before or your body is like, "Okay, is
that is that it? That's all that that's
the last drop of fuel we're going to get
tonight." The moment it realizes you're
not going to put any more fuel in your
body, your body, your metabolism
recognizes. It goes from fuel storing
mode. Come on, give some more. Let me
put in my fat. Oh, no more food. Let's
now switch gears.
Okay. Like like literally like a gearbox
in a car. If you're um uh if your body
is a Ferrari, all right, and you're
going you're going to switch gears when
you're no longer eating, it switches
into fuel burning mode from fuel
storing. Let's load up that body fat to
fuel burning. So when you're sleeping
and not eating, your body's burning down
fuel from your fat cells. You're
actually losing weight, burning fat
while you're sleeping. Well, how long do
you have to not eat for this to work?
So, this is actually the important part.
We know that eight hours of sleeping is
the healthy amount of sleeping for all
kinds of things. Brain health and
metabolic health and anti-aging and
everything else. You want to sleep
eight. It's more like seven to nine.
Eight's like right in the middle. Eight
hours is where you're going to start to
get that benefit. But let me tell you
how anybody can expand their body's own
hardwired fat burning. Period. Okay.
Okay. So, what you do is you expend it
on both sides before you go to bed and
when you get up in the morning. Let me
talk about the the night before. All
right. So, like if you eat sit down and
eat at 7:00 and you're done at 8. When
you put your dishes away, no more
eating. All right? There's no midnight
snacking. Don't take a bag of chips with
you and sit on the couch and watch the
game or whatever else you might do. All
right? Don't be nibbling. No last minute
before bedtime, open and get that piece
of pie. When you're done at 8, when you
put your dishes away, that's it. Now,
let's say you go to bed at at 11:00. I'm
just going to give an
example. Eat dinner at 7, stop eating at
8, put your dishes away, no more food
until the next day, and no drinking. And
no drinking. Actually, tea is okay. All
right. As long as you have milk. No
drinking for sure. Anything with no more
calories. Okay. Okay. 8:00, let's say
you go to bed at 11. Okay. That's 3
hours between 8 and 11:00. 3 hours. You
just bought yourself three extra hours
of fat burning time. 11 to 7 in the
morning, that's 8 hours. Okay? So that's
3 hours plus 8 hours. That's 11 hours of
fat burning that you've given your body
just by not eating after you put the
dishes away. Now, when you get up in the
morning, this is like a super little
easy tip that I tell anybody. I do. I
practice it myself. Get up in the
morning. Don't do what your mom told you
to do. Right? So, when we were growing
up, get out of bed, get down to that
breakfast table, eat something quickly
so you can actually go to school and
learn something. You don't be hungry.
No, we're adults. And it turns out you
don't need to eat right away in the
morning. Get up in the morning, take
your time getting ready. And for me, I
will before I eat anything, I will go
for a walk. I'll open the door, get some
fresh air, uh maybe read a book, check
my email, whatever. Wait at least an
hour from the time you wake up until the
time that you put the first thing in
your mouth. Now that's one extra hour.
So three hours the night before bed,
eight hours, that's 11 in total of
fasting, meaning fat burning time. Now
add one more hour. Okay, by not eating
right away and you've got 11 + 1 is 12
hours. 12 out of 24 hours. 50% of your
day, you've had your body burning down
harmful body fat, extra body fat. That's
the simplest way to use intermittent
fasting. 12 hours. Now, you might say,
"Is 12 hours enough?" Yeah, because 8
hours is enough, 12 hours is a little
bit better. Clinical studies have shown
that 12 hours of fasting much in a way
that I've told you actually is plenty
time to actually lose weight over time.
So, are you saying that this is a tool
that you that based on the research
anybody can use to eat in an 8 hour
window from like noon to 8:00 p.m.? Yep.
And that will help you no matter what
your health looks like. That will help
you kick into fuel burning and fat
burning mode without really having to
even worry about the food yet. You don't
have to break into a sweat doing that
because it's all very easy. I mean,
plenty of people are already doing this.
But the key thing, Mel, is that you want
to make sure that when you finally do
eat, whether it's breakfast or lunch,
you don't overfill your tank. Well, how
do you know when you're full? I know
this is a kind of an odd question to
ask, but I love food. Espec like
especially if I've got something in
front of me that I'm really love like a
big juicy burger that you know the kind
you squeeze to try to get in your mouth
and some of the juice is coming down.
There is no way I need to eat that
entire thing especially if it's a smash
burger with a couple patties and so yet
I like how do you know when enough is
enough and the click has happened right?
So, it's all hardwired inside us. And
the problem why we miss the cues that
our body sends us that we have actually
filled up our tank is because we eat too
fast. Oh, all right. So, when you eat
quickly, right, busy people tend to eat
really quickly. Distracted people tend
to eat quickly. If you're just checking
out social media, you're not paying
attention and you're eating by yourself,
you're just shoveling food in your
mouth, you're paying attention to
something else. That is a common mistake
that we all make is that we're
distracted and we're used to just
shoveling all the abundant food that's
placed in front of us. Okay, let me just
tell you something that I learned before
I went to medical school to be a doctor.
I did a gap year and uh in my gap year I
went to Italy and Greece, the
Mediterranean and what I was interested
in studying there was the connections
between food, culture and health in
those places. Now, this was long before
people were talking about the
Mediterranean diet. I came from America.
I landed in Italy. I was staying with a
host family. Uh, within a day or two, I
began realizing, wow, the way that
people eat in the Mediterranean is
completely different than what I grew up
and what I'm used to. We in America sit
down and we're gobbling food. We're
we're we're complaining about things.
We're eating with somebody else. uh
we're caveting about, you know, some
problems going on. We're eating fast.
There's way too much food in front of us
and um uh or we're eating alone. Yeah.
And you're eating alone. You're doing
you're distracted by something else. And
before long, you know, you've cleaned
the whole plate. All right. And you
don't you don't even realize what you've
eaten. It might taste good, but you're
not thinking about it. In the
Mediterranean, in Italy specifically,
and it's as clear as day for me, you'd
sit down for food. You would never eat
by yourself. You would always eat with a
friend or a family member or a co-orker.
All right? You you would take the time
to order the food and when the food
comes, you're not you're not caveting or
complaining about your boss or you know
the family or the weather or the sports
team. You are sitting when the food
arrives with full of gratitude and
talking about the joy of the food. Man,
this pasta was just like my mother made.
Is this the right season for it? Yeah.
You should see the mushrooms that we
have. How do you how do you make it?
People would talk about their food.
Okay, the food that was not just
something that was shoved in front. You
would engage with the food and when
you're eating the food, you would taste
the food and talk about the food and
people would enjoy the actual part of
eating. The enjoyment of the food, the
mindfulness was completely different.
And by the way, they never ser over
sererve you. All right. More. So, do you
have a rule for that? Like would you use
like a sandwich plate instead of a
dinner plate if you tried it? So here's
what I always tell people. Whatever your
eye wants to actually put onto your
plate, right? So think about a this is
the classic meal I always talk of
Thanksgiving meal. Like you're all
getting together, maybe you have eaten
all day and now there's all this great
food that reminds you of your all the
happy times. You got to load your plate
up, right? What I tell people that's a
mistake. Whatever your whatever your
eyes tell you you want to put in only to
take two/irds of that plate. Okay. Two
thirds. Leave a third. Leave a third
back. Okay. Never go for seconds. All
right. You will actually and just eat
those two/3s and really enjoy the taste.
Savor the taste. You know, if you're a
foodie like me, you enjoy great tasting
food. All right? Doesn't have to be
fancy. It could be super simple. Uh it
could be comfort food. Eat it slowly to
savor it. Okay, that savoring the food
is something I notice is always done in
the Mediterranean and also in Asia. You
know, two of the healthiest cuisines in
the world and it slows it down. You
know, Dr. Lee, you have a 4-w week meal
plan that you've designed based on
almost 30 years of experience. Can you
break down some of the key features for
me and the person listening? Yeah. Okay.
So, wherever wherever your starting
point is, this is the key thing. You can
always begin a healthier uh uh life and
get over your own body fat. Like like
you can win that battle easily by doing
a couple of things. I tell the first
thing you do is to um do an assessment,
a food diary is what I call it. Okay?
Don't try anything yet. Just do what
you're going to do for a couple of
weeks. Take out a piece of paper or
maybe even notes on your mobile device
and just record what you're eating and
how much you're eating every single
meal. Why is that important? Because a
lot of us don't realize what we're
eating and how much we're eating. Every
time you snack, pop out that piece of
paper or your your notes section and and
write it down. No guilt, no shame. Uh
this is all about just recording it.
Okay. Now, after two weeks, go back and
look at it. And most of us will be
surprised at what we ate, how often we
ate, and how much we actually ate. All
right? By having that self-realization
by documenting it. You know, it's kind
of like uh you're trying to develop an
allowance. You're teaching children how
to spend money responsibly. Write down
what you spent and then add it up at the
end of a couple of weeks and then you'll
know exactly what you did. And after
recommending this to patients and
researching this, what might the person
who does this find or have a realization
other than god I eat a lot? Well, I
would say first um the amount of food
that they ate and how frequently they
ate. Man, I had no idea that I ate that
much and that often. All right. So the
second epiphany is by by identifying
what kind of food most people go, geez,
I kind of ate I kind of eat junky food.
All right, just documenting that for
yourself. Again, no judgment. This is
just so you can see where you are. And
that's the first phase I say. Then you
go on to the swap in phase. I call swap
in. Not swap out. Swap in. Oh, swap in.
I thought you said swap. I'm like swamp.
Like I'm like that doesn't sound good.
Okay. Swap.
Right? Because basically people like go,
"Oh, so now the part now's the part
where I actually have to deprive myself,
right?" Nope. I'm saying, "Listen, you
know, when you're not eating good stuff,
let's talk about swapping in. Take
something that you love to eat that's
healthy and swap it in." Okay? And
there's all kinds of things that we uh
love to eat that is healthy. And that's
in my book, Eat to Beat Your Diet. I I
give lists of 200 different food items,
ingredients that are all delicious that
you can swap in. The reason I call it
swap in is because when you're eating
something, you're displacing something
that is not so good for you. The more
good stuff that you swap in, less room
you're just going to have in your life
for the stuff that's not so good for
you. Well, what I love about that is
because you hear the word diet to lose
weight and you immediately like and it
feels like you're going to have to
restrict and your swap in like
methodology. It makes a lot of sense
because if I think about it, I could eat
a bag of chips and not even think about
it. I'm not going to eat a bushel of
apples. No. So, if I'm adding in
something healthy, I'm probably not
going to overeat it anyway.
Exactly. That's that's the other thing.
But you might also find, you know,
you'll be a little bit more mindful. So
do an assessment. Step one. Number two,
swap in. Okay. Number three is then do
that intermittent fasting part that I
told you. Now, the key though with this,
don't overeat when it is time to eat.
That's the twothirds rule. Okay.
Twothirds rule. And one one thing I'll
tell you that's a Japanese saying that
comes came from Confucious is called
stop when you're 80% full. Now, I'm
going to tell you how you know this. Um,
but there's a the Japanese saying is
called harah hachi bunmi. Harah hachi
bunmi uh really means just listen to
your body when you're about 80% full.
How do you know when you're 80% full?
Well, I have to unbutton my pants
usually. Well, okay. By the time you
feel full, yes, you've already passed
80%. It's true. you know, like I just I
kind of just feel that that sense that
oh, but I just there's just one more
bite and it's not ever as good as the
one that came before. Listen, here's a
here's an example, Mel. You know, like
when you're parking a car like in a in a
parking lot and there's like those
little cement things in front, right?
Like you're pulling it up a little bit
further, a little bit further, and you
know, like when you start hitting that
when you hear that grading sound in your
car, you've gone too far. That's what
happens when you have to unbutton your
your pants. So, but if you eat slowly
and then listen, this this is a very
important point. You want to stop eating
when you're satisfied, not when you're
full. When you feel, h that was pretty
good. Not when you're full. We We're so
trained to look at the volume of our
stomach, the pouching. We're looking for
we're trained to unbutton our pants,
okay? But really, if you eat slowly and
mindfully and take your time and savor
your food, at some point when you put
your fork down, you're going to go,
"That's pretty good. I like that."
That's 80%. Hey there. If you're ready
to take control of your health using the
power of food, then I encourage you to
check out my Eat to Beat Disease online
course. More than 4,000 people from 80
countries have taken it, and now they
know how to eat to beat disease, and you
can, too. I personally developed all the
material in this course, drawing from my
latest research and my years of
experience. It's designed to give you
practical science-based strategies that
you can use to boost your health every
single day. To learn more, click the
link below. Yeah, I know. I'm I'm glad
you brought that up because apple cider
vinegar is one of these areas that um
has both myth as well as fact. And this
is one of the things that I really enjoy
doing is as a researcher and as a as a
scientist as well as a doctor. How do we
actually find the truth behind the
myths? And then for the myths, how do we
actually break those myths? How do we
bust the myth as we say in order to
arrive at what's real and what is
actionable? So here's the thing. For
years, I have heard from
uh mostly friends that they were
drinking apple cider vinegar often in
the morning time uh for various health
applications. And I was I had always
been very skeptical, you know. I mean,
vinegar is pretty strong. It can taste
good in cooking, but it's a very strong
substance to have by itself. and and and
I always thought, you know, if you put
uh that strong vinegar in your mouth,
you're going to be dissolving the enamel
in your teeth, uh which can't be good
for you. And it doesn't matter if it's
apple cider or some other type of
vinegar. Of course, apple cider sort of
took on this mythic uh uh um reputation
of being something especially healthy.
So, was it the apple? You know, is it
something in apples? Like these are the
things that a scientist like me begin to
ask. But more more importantly, I I when
it came to weight loss, which exactly as
you said, Luke, weight loss tends to
attract a lot of attention, which
quickly
becomes sort of
a populist idea, like people want to
believe something that might not be
true. Uh so uh so I was always skeptical
about apple cider vinegar and weight
loss, but then the research starts to uh
come out and this is where I as a myself
as a scientist I have to be honest by
saying you know I can assume one thing
but if new data comes out that I I look
at and I I critically evaluate and the
data shows that something is true or
untrue I've got to I've got to go with
the data. So with apple cider vinegar, I
was astounded to see that uh researchers
in Japan had been studying a dose
dependent effect of apple cider vinegar
on metabolism and that's weight loss.
That's actually reduction in body
composition when it comes to visceral
fat. Uh that's lowering of inflammatory
markers in the blood. You know the real
research that one does in food as
medicine, not the woo woo stuff. Um, and
what I saw was really quite remarkable.
First, uh, in in one of these research
studies, they gave people, uh, what they
called low dose, which is one tablespoon
of apple cider vinegar versus high dose,
which is three tablespoons of apple
cider vinegar. So, if you imagine in
your kitchen taking out a bottle of
apple cider vinegar and and pouring
three tablespoons in it into a into a a
small cup. All right. um that three
tablespoons is pretty easy to actually
to drink if you had to. It's a quick
shot. Um uh uh well, they studied this
daily over the course of a month. that
what they found indeed is that people
who had any apple cider vine apple cider
vinegar um compared to a placebo, which
is drinking water, uh that uh uh that
that any apple cider vinegar would
actually shrink waist circumference,
which is the size of your waist. And the
waist circumference reflects how much
fat is in the tube of your body, right?
So, and that's visceral fat inside
there. So, uh, over the course of a
month, apple cider vinegar drinkers had
a shrinking of their waist
circumference. So, and they had less
body fat, uh, and their inflammatory
markers also went down and they actually
lost, uh, weight when you looked on a
scale. That's pretty amazing to me that
you can do a a study to show that this
works. Now, couple of fine points. The
people who had the higher dose, three
tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, lost
more weight, lost more body fat than the
ones who had one tablespoon. And that's
a dose response, which is a good sign
that there's something real biologically
going on. All right. Um, usually if it's
sort of look, you can have different
kinds of dose responses. This one was
pretty convincing that something was
working. uh if a little bit is good, a
little bit more uh can actually have
even a greater effect and and loss more
fat. Um and the fact that was that the
type of fat that was lost was visceral
fat. That is the harmful inflammatory
fat that we really want to deal with,
you know, um especially by the way in
Southeast Asians that that's really the
kind of the apple uh uh shape that
people can become as they get older. And
the apple is really where the waist size
expands because you wind up actually
growing more visceral fat. Visceral
means guts and visceral fat is a fat
that kind of grows naturally grows
around the guts. But when it builds up,
you expand your waist size. So you want
to kind of reverse that. Apple cider
vinegar actually works. Now couple of
things about it. When you break it down
into what is actually happening because
I, you know, I always ask, does
something work in people? doesn't work
in people, you know, like we've cured
cancer in mice all for years. Doesn't
mean that it's going to work in people,
but something that works in people now,
it's worth going back into exploring how
what's the mechanism of action, you
know, like like an inquiring scientist
always wants to know. So, guess what?
It's not the apples in apple cider
vinegar. It's not the apple source. It's
the vinegar. It's the acetic acid. All
vinegar is made with acetic acid. In
fact, acetic acid is a definition of
vinegar, which is another name for
vinegar. The chemist, the chemists call
acetic acid, the chefs call it vinegar.
All right? And vinegar uh actually works
by preventing fat cells in our body.
These fat cells are called adiposytes.
Adipose fat site cell uh vinegar acetic
acid prevents fat cells from expanding.
All right? And it also impedes your
body's own ability to make new fat
cells. So we, you know, we all are born
with fat cells. They expand. It's our
fuel tank. If if you are still eating
and you're building more fat, your body
can make new fat cells with stem cells.
So now you actually create more fuel
tanks and you can grow your fat mass.
Acetic acid prevents the first fat
masses from from blowing up like
expanding and it prevents the new ones
from growing as well. We think that
that's really the one of the primary
mechanisms of action acetic acid or
vinegar. What does that mean? That means
that apple cider vinegar is good. That's
been shown in clinical studies, but it
means that other vinegars are also good.
white vinegar, red wine vinegar, uh uh
there's all kinds of vinegars you can
actually make um with a variety of
different uh uh uh fruits and
vegetables, frankly, that can all be
fermented to create that acetic acid. Um
if you take a look at uh countries in
Asia, they have black vinegar, fermented
vinegars. There's a whole, you know, go
into any store that carries a variety of
vinegars and you will be blown away by
the uh by the diversity of how you
create vinegar. My health tip, anybody
who is interested in exploring this for
themselves is if you are whatever the
vinegar is, please pick up the bottle
and read the label for the ingredients
because you want to make sure that it
really is indeed true apple cider
vinegar or red wine vinegar and it
doesn't have other ingredients added to
it because many times well-intentioned
uh companies will want to doctor up or
put additives into a vinegar in order to
make it more appealing. Great example is
salad dressing. Salad dressing is made
with vinegar and oil, but in a salad
dressing, they'll put all kinds of
things in there to make that product
seem more appealing. And those additives
can actually be detrimental to your
health and detrimental to your
metabolism. Hey, if you like that video,
