G RASS -F ED B EEF & R AW M ILK S HARES Your body is a complex machine, requiring many nutrients in order to grow and function properly. Modern techniques of raising, preserving, and packaging meat products have contributed to a change in the quality and nutrition of these products that we consume.
that may be one of the body’s most potent defenses against cancer. When ruminants are raised on fresh pasture alone, between three to five times more CLA may be found in their meat versus the meat from animals fed conventional diets [2].
The nutritional differences between the meat of feedlot-raised animals and pasture-raised animals are as follows:
4.) Vitamin E: In a study done at Colorado State University - Fort Collins, meat from cattle that had been raised on a pasture had four times higher the amount of vitamin E than the meat from cattle raised on a feedlot [3].
1.)Lower in Fat and Calories: The meat from grass-fed beef is lower in fat and has less calories than grain-fed meat. 2.) Extra Omega-3s: There are two to four times more omega-3 fatty acids in grass-fed animals than meat from grain-fed animals [1]. 3.)CLA: CLA, conjugated linoleic acid, is a “good fat”

D IFFERENCE
1.) Hormones secreted into the bloodstream during stressful situations are used up when you exercise. Therefore, exercise helps your immune system to function in a normal manner, sooner. 2.) Tension that has built up in your muscles is worked out of your muscles while exercising. 3.) Strength, flexibility, and stamina are all increased when you exercise. This
increases the efficiency of the cardiovascular system, and prepares you to be able to handle future stressors in a more efficient manner! [4] In addition to exercise, keeping your body hydrated is key to feeling and looking your best. Make sure you drink plenty of WATER every day. Not just liquids, but clean, unadulterated water. Your body will thank you!!!

M ARINE P HYTOPLANKTON Marine phytoplankton, single-celled plants that are invisible to the human eye, are the vegetation of the ocean. They are the food source of whales that live to be over 150 years old. NASA studies show that plankton is responsible for as much as 90% of earth’s oxygen. With proper nutrition, the body can restore and heal itself. The miracle of natural healing only requires the proper nutrients and environment to create this positive change.
