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 video 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 videos 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 video on protein related to

other specific body conditions I put

that up right here check it out
