⟡ how to eat red meat safely ⟡
the first topic I want to talk about is an extension of last week’s meal guide! scroll back to last friday to see!
At the top of the meal guide, I mentioned that you should never consume your red meat without glycine/gelatin and you should never consume your starches without fruit!
Here’s why:
Let’s start with why I pair all my meat with some sort of glycine/ gelatin.
First off, gelatin has amazing benefits including
- Improved digestion
- Decreased inflammation
- Improved sleep
- Increased insulin sensitivity
- Increased gastric juices in the stomach (yummmmm)
- Muscle sparing
- Heals the gut lining from ulcers
- Improved allergies
- Stabilized bloood sugar
- Improves memory
- Improves wound healing
- Improves liver detoxification (something i need this month because I had a really emotional cycle! Emotional cycles mean too much estrogen, or estrogen dominance, was stored in my issues, creating a bunch of PMS symptoms.)
- Improves the health of your hair, skin, and nails
- Helps cure arthritis
- Helps with diabetes
Gelatin is such a healing food because it lacks the inflammatory amino acids found in dense proteins like meat, dairy, and soy. Gelatin is void of the amino acid tryptophan and contains very little amounts of cysteine, methionine, and histidine. These amino acids, in excess (and without the presence of gelatin) can produce anti-metabolic and inflammatory conditions on the body.
Essentially, gelatin cancels these guys out!
My favorite way to incorporate it is with
Bone broth (I can post my recipe next week if you tip on this post!)
Great Lakes collagen brand in my coffee
Making my own gummies (I can post my recipe next week if you tip on this post!)
And gelatinous cuts of meat - my favorite being oxtail.
Every meal I have I pair with some sort of gelatinous food :)
