now if we’re talking about the absolute best food to help you heal repair especially after exercise but from anything like stress trauma surgery hands down the answer would be red meat now I recently did a article talking about different proteins which are a little bit better for certain health conditions maybe something’s better for anti-inflammatory Etc but when we’re talking about generalized healing and repair animal meat and specifically red meat is at the top of the list because not only does red meat have the most protein it
also has some other amazing things that I’m going to share with you today which is going to blow you away over 30 years of practice I’ve never met one person who ever had an allergy to meat okay they might have had an allergy to peanuts or eggs or seafood or shellfish or wheat or soy but not red meat and just the fact that meat has been villainized right as the bad guy uh you should start eating less red meat as a way to get healthy or overall it’s going to be better for climate change because we know the cows
are destroying the climate which is completely ridiculous but right there that one argument the fact that mainstream is telling you not to do it the truth is going to be in the exact opposite direction in fact it’s difficult to heal and repair your body without animal protein especially red meat and today I’m going to prove it now in past articles I talked about eggs and I eat a lot of eggs and eggs are awesome okay but if we compare eggs to meat there is some significant differences and that’s what I want to talk about
today I’ve also talked about the benefit of having salmon and fish which I also have once or twice a week and salmon and sardines are very high in omega-3 which are good but beef red meat has more protein and it has a lot of other things that can help you heal if we look at the whole picture I will say out of all the things that are involved in the healing process and the repair process we need amino acids we we need bioavailable protein which is going to be animal protein and we need concentrated protein
and if we just compare red meat to eggs red meat is twice as concentrated in amino acids it also has 1.5 times greater iron 2.2 times greater magnesium 3.7 times greater amounts of zinc and 50 times more vitamin B3 than eggs it has double the amount of B1 four times the amount of B6 twice the amount of B12 and four times the amount of vitamin K and five times the amount of omega-3 fatty acids the ratios are going to be better and of course I’m not talking about processed meat from factory farms I’m talking about grass-fed beef even if you
compare that to chickens that are pasteurized they’re still fed grains which kind of throw off the omega-3 to omega-6 ratios now that being said eggs are also a good source of protein but as a side note beef liver has 73 times more vitamin A than eggs now there’s another nutrient that eggs have that’s better than beef and that would be choline it has a little bit more than doubled amount of B2 and a lot more folate it has 12 times the amount of folate than in beef beef has something else that I think is like The X Factor actually it’s
four things I’m going to mention and the first one is carnitine it’s this thing that helps transport bat into your cells into the energy Factory called the mitochondria to help you get more energy so without carnitine the cells can’t get energy from that carnitine gives you that quick energy when you’re exercising and since we’re talking about a really important transport of fuel to the mitochondria that is essential for healing and repair of your tissues so not only do we need all the essential amino acids as the raw
material for proteins not just for your muscles but for all your biochemistry we also need other things as well like those vitamins I just mentioned which are cofactors but also the shuttle to allow this raw material to give our bodies energy so if we compare like 100 grams of red meat versus 100 grams of eggs the amount of carnitine would be like 150 milligrams versus only seven milligrams for eggs but as far as the food that has the most carnitine it would be lamb but beef is number two so this beef red meat is at the top of the
list as far as giving you a good source of carnitine then we have creatine creatine gives us that quick energy it can be used as fuel for very very high explosive intense movements both exercise and physical activity needs this creatine so this is why you see a lot of bodybuilders and weight lifters and people who do exercise taking this as a supplement well guess what out of all the foods that you could possibly eat on planet Earth red meat from beef has the highest amount of creatine so creatine is just going to give you more energy to heal
and repair from exercise now the next compound I’m going to talk about which by the way red meat from beef has the absolute highest Source it’s called carnosine it buffers this pH okay from the lactic acid the acidity in the muscle so if you’re exercising this compound comes along and helps neutralize this acid to allow you to exercise longer because the pH messes with some of the oxygen in the muscle so it buffers the pH it acts as an antioxidant and it’s also going to help the recovery after
exercise and just healing in general of your whole body and it also even decreases something called ages and I’m going to give you this term I don’t know if you’ve ever heard it before it’s called Advanced glycation end products and basically this is a fancy term for when you have this sugar molecule that’s locked up with a protein molecule and it’s kind of stuck in the body so these ages kind of plug up the body and they interfere with the function and they usually come from someone that’s
consuming too much sugar well guess what this compound helps get rid of those things so it’s considered kind of an anti-aging thing it can help you just live longer but out of all the foods you can eat red meat from beef has the most carnosine and then we have coenzyme Q10 what is that that is a nutrient that helps the mitochondria the energy Factory where food gets converted to energy now and the best source of coenzyme Q10 is organ Meats like beef liver for sure but it’s also in the meat as well it’s also in fish it’s in eggs
but it’s mostly an organ Meats so just in general um when I was very very sick and I stumbled on this ketogenic diet low carb diet buffalo burger was my first food that I ate that I felt so good I actually healed my body on buffalo burger and hamburger in fact to this day I still feel the best when I consume um red meat in the form of hamburger now I will do steak and things like that but I do very very well on red meat in general and if you’re trying to heal especially after exercise or you’re trying to repair from some type of
injury or trauma you should really consider increasing more red meat and having it more often and the cool thing about hamburgers it has a little bit more fat than some of the um like leaner cuts of steak and there’s only two conditions that you need to know about relating to difficulty of digesting red meat people that don’t like red meat really have low stomach acids and as someone ages they get older they will lose their stomach acids and the taste for red meat goes down they can’t really tolerate it and
there’s this very simple solution just add some obtained hydrochloride to the meal I’ll put a link down below you just take three to five before a meal okay you don’t have to take it forever just take it for a month and what will happen is it’ll start to increase the acidity in your stomach you’ll start to digest the red meat much better and break it down and start feeling better but when people get older they just have a more difficult time because they don’t have the stomach acid and they’re also going
to have as a parallel thing gas more indigestion definitely acid reflux gerd those are all signs of low stomach acid so instead of avoiding eating it just fix the stomach’s ability to digest it and the one last point there is a certain genetic condition where someone has a hard time getting rid of iron they tend to accumulate iron and so if that is you then maybe uh red meat is not the answer you would want to do maybe poultry or maybe eggs different protein sources that have lower amounts of iron but for
everyone else I highly recommend red meat even if you’re going through a menstrual cycle and you’re losing blood boy red meat is going to be the best way to fix it because you’re probably slightly anemic and red meat has the best iron and B12 in the best forms so I hope I’ve given you more than enough information to try this out to see if it helps you but I consume a lot of red meat in the form of hamburger on a regular basis and of course I kind of am lucky because I get it from Animal Farm but you can go
get it from the farmer’s market or you can get it online from various sources as well like one good source would be U.S Wellness Meats I’ll put a link down below for them as well but if you have not seen my article on protein related to other specific body conditions I put that up right here check it out
