HEALTH BENEFITS
Garlic: Can reduce high blood pressure, and it also contains antioxidants. Top food for gut health – it contains prebiotic fiber, it’s also antiviral and antifungal.
Himalayan Salt: One of the cleanest salts you can find. As opposed to conventional table salt that is heavily processed which removes its beneficial minerals.
Grass-fed Butter: Has a prominent level of butyric acid, which decreases inflammation. One of the specific ways it has been proven to decrease inflammation is in the intestines of people with Crohn’s disease. Also, a reliable source of medium-chain triglycerides which have been shown to suppress the appetite, a bonus for those who are trying to lose weight!
Tomato Paste: The process of making tomato paste makes the antioxidants in tomatoes more bioavailable. Antioxidants are compounds that scavenge free radicals in the body associated with disease and aging.
Grass-fed Beef: Does it really need to be grass-fed? YES. Grass-fed beef contains significantly more omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed beef. The optimal ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids should be 2:1. The Western Diet has excessive amounts of omega 6 fatty acids (resulting in a much higher 6 / 3 ratio) which can promote the onset of certain diseases like cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. Increased levels of Omega 3 fatty acids can show suppressive effects. The goal is to increase your omega 3’s by getting as close to the optimal 2:1 ratio. Your brain will thank you. PLUS, it contains more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a type of fat that’s thought to reduce heart disease and cancer risk.
