Grass-fed beef is healthier than corn-fed beef for the simple reason that the grass-fed has less fat in it.
Well, that and the corn most cattle are fed is genetically modified.
(They don’t have GMO foods down here in Oz.)
Ok, and then there’s the rBGH (Recombinant Growth Hormone) given to cattle to mature them at a faster-than-normal rate.
(rBGH is banned down here in Oz too.)
The problem is that eating organic can be cost- prohibitive.
But if eating our traditional American “manufactured”food is bad for you, what do you do?
“Wait… Wait… Why is American manufactured food bad for you?”
Well due to its manufactured nature, it’s not absorbed by your body the way it’s supposed to be and can actually increase cellular inflammation.
Why’s inflammation bad?
It’s not.
It’s a natural part of the healing process that your body uses to protect itself and heal the pain caused from an injury or infection, directed by your body’s defenses – your immune system.
However, too much inflammation – or CHRONIC inflammation – actually harms your body instead of healing it.
What is Chronic Inflammation and how do you get it?
It’s when your body no longer has the ability to turn off it’s inflammatory response and starts damaging healthy tissue, including your intestinal
and stomach linings, your arteries and heart, increasing your risk of heart disease, and even damage your joints and cause rheumatoid arthritis.
Nice huh?
No, not really.
What are some of the symptoms of Chronic Inflammation?
– Chronic joint and/or muscle pain
– Onset of allergies or increased allergies
– High blood pressure
– High blood sugar
– Ulcers, Irritable bowel, or blood in your stool
– Constant fatigue or lethargy
– Skin problems, like excema
