If there’s anything I want you to know about organ meats, it’s that they are extremely nutrient dense. That’s why I’m highlighting them as a functional food.
⁣
Liver, kidneys, and heart all contain beneficial nutrients. Liver is definitely the most nutrient dense source, but they all have benefits. ⁣

⁣Let me put how nutrient dense liver is into perspective:⁣
⁣
➡️ You would have to eat 5 lb of fruit and veggies to get the same amount of nutrients in about 4 oz of liver. ⁣
⁣
Not only is liver extremely high in a variety of B vitamins, but it’s also rich in two important amino acids, glycine and proline, which are especially critical for digestive health. ⁣
⁣
Muscle meat does contain these amino acids, but in smaller amounts. This is why adding in liver whether in food form or supplement (I use @paleovalley grass-fed organ complex) is extra nourishing. ⁣
⁣
🔹 How Often Should You Eat Organ Meats?⁣
⁣
Once a week or so is ideal. You don’t want to over do it since it is extremely nutrient dense, but 3-6 oz every 7-10 days is great. ⁣
⁣
🔹 Organ Meat Myth: Liver is toxic. ⁣
⁣
Liver is NOT toxic. Our livers neutralize toxins, it does not store toxins. Most toxins are stored in the fat tissue. ⁣

If you’re like me and don’t love eating organ meats, I can’t recommend @paleovalley enough. I also use their bone broth protein religiously. ⁣Use coupon code HORMONEHEALINGRD10 for 10% off!
