Although meat eating is not for everyone, meat is unarguably a nutrient powerhouse packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and most importantly “anabolic” or building substances. Although most meat is made of muscle, the non muscular tissue that composes the organs of cows, lamb, sheep, pigs, chickens and other animals is especially nutritious. Sometimes called “offal”, the kidney, brain, heart, liver and other organs have lots of nutrition or low calorie impact, with protein, B vitamins and minerals.
This is especially important for athletes, bodybuilders, the elderly and folks recovering from surgery. Organ meats have traditionally been cherished by indigenous cultures, but these days they’ve fallen out of favor and most mediators don’t appreciate how valuable they can be.
If you’re interested including more organ meats in your diet, you might want to start off with tongue. Once it’s prepared and sliced up it really doesn’t look very “organ”, but like other organs, it has a high nutrient – calorie ratio. It’s the ideal keto food, loaded with fat and protein, which makes it tasty and very filling. All you need is a slice or two to be satisfied and tongue is especially important for cutaneous health. It’s a source of natural hyaluronic acid and almost 15% collagen. That means less wrinkles, diminished fine lines and crows feet and healthier stronger beefier skin.
