Mindsip insights from this episode:
Discover phytonutrients in animal products for health benefits
Animal products like lamb liver can contain as many beneficial phytonutrients as vegetables, as the compounds from the diverse forage an animal eats are stored in its meat.
Scan food for real-time nutrient density insights
A handheld, "Star Trek-like" device is being developed that will allow consumers to scan food and get a real-time reading of its nutrient density.
Choose regeneratively-raised meat for ergothioneine benefits
Ergothioneine, a compound produced by soil fungi that supports mitochondrial and brain health, is transferred into meat and is 2.8 times higher in regeneratively-raised animals.
Obtain omega-3 fatty acids from grass-fed beef
Grass-fed beef can be a good source of the same long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DPA, and DHA) that are typically found in fish.
Choose nutrient-dense foods for better flavor
The flavor of a food, whether meat or plant, is directly linked to its phytochemical density, meaning more nutritious food naturally tastes better.
Choose organ meats for affordable nutrient density
Organ meats are one of the most affordable and nutrient-dense foods available, far surpassing most vegetables in micronutrient content.
Choose chicken wisely to reduce inflammation risk
Due to their feed, conventional chicken and pork can have a much higher inflammatory omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (up to 30:1) than even factory-farmed beef (8:1).
