Red Meat???

[Guest guest]

Personally, I'm a big fan of doing everything in moderation. Everythings bad

for you if you do too much of it. Besides, whats the point of living a long

life if you cant enjoy a hamburger every now and then?

is a stupid question to some, is it bad for you and why? I am not a

big meat eater so it wouldn't take much to sway me away, except for

hamburgers, you'd better be really convincing. I am also anemic so

what supplements would I need to take or what foods would I need to

boost. Thanks, Jolene

Hi Jolene,

 

There is no such a thing as a stupid question!

In my honest opinion, red meat in moderation can

be part of a healthy diet.

Especially if you are anemic, the iron in red meat

is much easier to absorb than plant-based iron.

B12 deficiency is easiest to remedy with red meat.

 

BUT: it should be clean grass-fed meat. That is

easier said than done.

The trouble with the meat in today's supermarket

is that it has been fed on corn, not grass. Then there

are the hormones and antibiotics that are routinely

used.

 

Dr Joseph Mercola http://mercola.com has some

good information on this, and he also has a source

of free range good beef. Pricey, but a little bit

goes a long way.

Liver, but only from an organically raised animal,

is a great way to fight anemia.

 

Vegetarianism, even veganism has become almost

a dogma in some health circles.

I am not so sure about it, except as a cleansing

diet in the short term.

Visit Chet Day http://chetday.com and search

his site for the article:

When Hallelujah becomes " what happened? "

 

Other good foods for anemia are nutritional yeast,

dark green leafy vegetables, and don't forget

nutrition from the bottom of the food chain.

 

Edible algae like Chlorella, Spirulina and AFA

(wild bluegreen from Klamath Lake) are all good

iron-rich food, easily absorbed.

Do some due diligence, and see what appeals to you.

 

Visit http://newstarget.com for more information

on the first two, and http://wildwholefoods.net

for information on AFA.

 

Hope this helps, anemia saps the joy out of life.

I was anemic for most of my life even when I

ate a decent diet, till I started using AFA algae.

Dear Jessika Stone.....I'm with you all the way. As I totally support the

vegetarian path for

those who choose to do so, I feel that all things in moderation and choosing

with respect

for our bodies, minds and spirits is an entirely lovely way to move along in

life. My body

speaks loudly when anything is a no-no. I only needs ears to hear and a heart

to care

enough to lovingly nurture myself.

Namaste,
