Protein – Why It’s Essential

Protein -

There is no doubt of the importance of eating high quality protein.  The research and data on consumption of lean protein sources is critical to your success of proper eating, health, recovery and muscle tone.  So here are some of the sources of high quality lean protein:

Whole Organic Eggs (There is a lot of nutrition in the yellow)

Fish - (Tuna, Salmon, Sardines, Halibut, or mostly one’s with gills and a fin), not bottom dweller’s, not farm-raised, Wild most times.

Poultry -(Chicken, Turkey) – Grass-Fed Organic preferred, if not Organic, then conventional (drugs, antibiotics, pesticides etc)

Bison – (Buffalo) – One of my favorites – Lean and low in cholesterol

Beef - (grass-fed, organic of course) – Filet, Coulette, Ground 90%

Raw Dairy – Greek Yogurt, Yogurt (Plain), Raw Cheese, Raw Butter – Homogenized, Pasteurized foods are not healthier, in my opinion and many health experts, and should be used less.

Ostrich – Yes, and it tastes good and yes hard to find!  Dean’s sometimes has it!
