Proteins and your Life
Do you know that product if is over 70% organic – ” Organic ” is on the front of the package, otherwise it’s on the side (if at all)?
Or that as we increase animal based proteins in our diets past our needs, specifically past 20% of our diet – the chances of cancer, heart disease and many other diseases increase greatly. The biggest trigger is Casein – found in dairy products. Nutrition is confusing.. you never know what to trust – but there is scientific empirical data that needs to be paid close attention to.
One huge source is Dr. Colin Campbell’s research ” The China Study” (also check out Forks over Knives)
I featured these facts in my “Lions and Lambs” workshop last night. Participants left with info and lots of practical choices to help them make better choices for their ( and their families) health. They learned both great animal protein choices and what to look for/ ask for – and what are top farms, butchers and growers to access.
We also looked at great options through plant based diets, that are chock full of protein and nutrients – including all the Calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D your body could need – for a slimmer and better long life!
