Omega 3 for Ideal Weight and Mood
Only meat and dairy from beef and game animals that are 100% grass-fed and grass finished contain proper amounts of Omega 3 fatty acids for optimal brain balance, thermogenic (heat raising) effect, lean muscle growth and repair, and reduction of inflammation throughout the body.
In fact, the concentration of Omega 3's in ruminant (grass-fed) animals rivals that of wild salmon. While it is best to eat meat raw for maximum health benefits, lightly cooked meat is still a very healthy food provided the animal has been fed properly and raised without antibiotics or hormones.
The majority of meat in grocery stores is factory farmed which means it comes from animals that have been grain-fed or grain finished, raised in unsanitary conditions and given pharmaceutical drugs. In addition to other issues, these products contain an unbalanced Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio, resulting in an unhealthful product.
Even beef and other red meat labeled "grass-fed" are generally grain-finished meaning the animal was fed grain or corn during the last few months in order to fatten it up.
To ensure that your meat and dairy products are 100% grass-fed, organic and raised with loving care I recommend getting to know the farmers and understand their practices before buying any of these products for your home.

The Dinner Table
This is a photo of our Sunday night dinner. It consists of fresh wild salmon with brown seaweed and ginger, a fresh seasonal fruit salad and fresh strawberries – all from our local Farmers Market!
We eat the fattiest cuts of salmon we can find because we love the high concentration of Omega 3’s for brain and body balance. We also add cold pressed sesame oil and sprouted sesame seeds to the seaweed for added taste, fat and nutrients. Seaweed is great for hair and overall bodily support. The ginger is fermented and adds great flavor – it is also a wonderful digestive aid. I also added a tall glass of whole raw milk from grass-fed cows for even more good fats, nutrients, and friendly bacteria for seamless digestion and assimilation of everything.
The fruit is the sweet part of the meal. It is pesticide free and grown without the use of chemical fertilizers. It is all local and in season for optimal taste and nutritional value!
