Condiments can often make or break the calorie bank. Low-calorie options like mustard, ketchup, barbecue sauce, salsa, horseradish, pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes will provide harmless and tasty choices. Mayonnaise, aioli, butter, and cheese all tend to be much heavier.

Excessive alcohol consumption contributes to three (3) types of liver disease:

1. Fatty Liver Disease, where excess fat builds up in the liver…
2. Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis, in which the liver cells become inflamed…
3. Alcohol-Associated Cirrhosis, in which normal liver tissue is replaced by non-living scar tissue.

Nearly all heavy drinkers will develop fatty liver, while up to 35% develop alcohol-associated hepatitis and 10-20% develop cirrhosis. Alcohol-associated liver disease can quickly lead to life-threatening health problems for those who do not stop drinking.
