Land Meat with Healthy Omega 3's

Most of us have heard about the health benefits of wild salmon that contain omega-3 fatty acids. Did you know that we can also get these same omega-3's in certain land meats, minus the risk of mercury?

When beef, venison, bison and buffalo are grass fed, they contain higher levels of these omega-3's than factory farmed animals that feed on grain and soy. While we often hear that meat can be harmful to our health, this usually applies to those factory farmed animals that, as a result of their raising, contain higher levels of omega-6 fatty acids, which are inflammatory. Grass fed beef also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is known for aiding in loss of fat and muscle gain.

While I always recommend supporting local farmers that raise free-range and grass-fed animals whenever possible, I know it's not always easy to find them depending on where you live. Because of that I want to suggest a great website that sells these beneficial meats and ships throughout the U.S.: US Wellness Meats. Prices are reasonable and shipping is mostly free.

Remember that eating meat is different for every person. Some people do better with more, some are better off with less. It's important to find out what works for your body. Pay attention to how you feel with more or less meat in your diet.
