Chipotle White Balsamic

Miracle Micronutrients:

Trace elements are the tiny cogs in the working wheels of an efficient immune system. Vitamins are necessary for energy production, immune function, blood clotting and other functions, while minerals play an important role in growth, bone health, fluid balance and several other processes. Small but mighty, these trace vitamins, minerals and polyphenols are only needed in minute amounts to support health and growth, but are often missing from our meals. Getting them from multiple sources ensures that your daily meals are truly health supporting.

Chipotle Chilli Peppers are a good source of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). They also contain a compound called capsaicin, which gives them their spiciness and many health attributes. They are anti-microbial protecting the stomach and preventing ulcers, boosting metabolism, increasing fat burn and decreasing appetite. Capsaicin has anticancer attributes, pain relief, prevents harmful bacteria growth in the gut, and has a beneficial effect on blood sugars, cholesterol and blood pressure. Research shows there is little to no reduction in capsaicin from drying or smoking the Jalapeño peppers.

White Balsamic Vinegar: Traditionally aged balsamic vinegars have many health benefits. Acetic acid is its main constituent. It is antimicrobial and antioxidant and is known to regulate blood sugar with its antiglycemic or anti-diabetic effect. Acetic acid in balsamic vinegar has strains of probiotics that promote digestion and gut health, supporting the microbiome balance and the overall immune system. It can lower cholesterol, regulate blood pressure and aid in weight loss. Inhalation of steamed vapor can clear congestion. Polyphenols from the grapes may promote blood circulation. Some use balsamic vinegar to treat acid reflux and heartburn.

A daily dose of 10-15 ml or 2 – 3 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar acts as an appetite suppressant and has a multitude of health benefits. Check it out!
