I’d like to discuss the specific type of protein that you should be focusing on for your specific body problem the question is should it be fish should it be eggs what about beef what about chicken should you consume beef liver or what about plant protein or even protein powder So today we’re going to look at the nutrition profile in all of those different sources of protein and I’m talking about amino acids uh bioavailability of those amino acids that means how well they’re absorbed and utilized also the B vitamins in those proteins the omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in those proteins the minerals in those proteins that trace minerals in these proteins and we’re going to look at which type of protein is good for certain things more than other things when I started to do this I quickly found out that plant protein sources those so-called clean plant-based proteins they’re not sufficient in other words they don’t have the quantities of amino acids and they don’t have the type of amino acids that are bioavailable they don’t have the right ratios of these essential amino acids so I didn’t even include that in the list I also didn’t include protein powders why because in nature protein always comes with certain nutrients like B vitamins and minerals and trace minerals when you do protein powders it doesn’t have those things in it and these vitamins and minerals are very essential to make that protein work in other words you know people might have this idea that you know if you just have enough protein and eat more protein that you’ll build more muscles and ligaments and tendons and Bone Etc but that protein in our body cannot work unless you have vitamins and minerals and trace minerals the vitamins and minerals and trace minerals are called cofactors or coenzymes and so if we look at the biochemical Pathways in our bodies that help to do all the functions in the body they’re all dependent on certain cofactors and coenzymes and for example if you’re a deficient like B12 you can’t make red blood cells or if you’re lacking vitamin C your adrenals can’t work and you can’t make collagen and the other important point I want to emphasize is we don’t just need protein for our muscles and ligaments and tendons we need it for all of our biochemistry there’s a lot going on in everybody tissue from making hormones to making neurotransmitters to affect your mood to building structural things like just things to keep the heart and Rhythm and other things that keep your nervous system intact not to mention keep your immune system strong and from this list I focused on the higher quality protein sources like the grass-fed versus the grain fed and the wild caught versus the farm-raised fish and the pasture-raised eggs versus the conventional you know eggs that are from chickens in a barn so let’s start off with the first condition which is basically aging as we age we definitely need more protein for repair to support maintenance especially of our muscles a lot of us when we get older we lose our hair we lose the elasticity we lose the ability to make antioxidants we lose the ability to detoxify like we did when we’re 18 years old but the other important factor to know about as we age we also lose our hydrochloric acid in our stomach the strength or the pH of the stomach goes higher that means less acidic as we get older so what does this have to do with protein well you need this very strong concentrated stomach acid to break down different types of protein into what we really need is amino acids so the older you get the less hydrochloric acid you have that means you need to digest certain types of protein that are easy to digest like eggs and fish and this is probably also the reason why as someone ages they just dislike the taste of red meat sometimes because red meat is a bit more difficult to digest but red meat has more proteins okay it has more leucine which is a key amino acid to help maintain muscle but if you can’t digest it it doesn’t matter right I mean if we compare even beef to eggs beef has more vitamin B3 B6 B12 but X have more B2 B9 which is biotin and vitamin B5 yet beef if we compare that to eggs has more iron magnesium potassium and zinc but eggs have a bit more calcium phosphorus and sodium so you can see that each protein Source has its own strength but if we compare the two eggs are easier to digest but this is what I would recommend if you’re older um and you have low stomach acids I suggest you just add betaine hydrochloride to your diet before you eat maybe three butane hydrochloride tablets before you eat that way you can build up the acid and start breaking down a larger variety of protein sources that way you can get the benefit of beef when you eat it as well as eggs and fish because you’re about to learn each protein Source has its uniqueness it has its positives and its weaknesses but as we age we need more stomach acid as a side note the way you know you need more stomach acid is this if you have indigestion if you get gas if you get acid reflux especially gerd that means you need more hydrochloric acid and you know that sounds strange but if that confuses you watch the video when we’re done with this below I’ll put it in the description so let’s assume that you’re adding this betaine hydrochloride if you’re getting older to be able to digest red meat maybe you just do red meat um once or twice a week now I would recommend oysters once a week okay or other similar shellfish because of the high level of zinc and selenium and especially iron that as we get older we need more of selenium is good for the thyroid zinc’s good for the immune system and testosterone and iron is good for the blood but here’s the thing and this mainly pertains to men if you are a man and you’re watching this and you have a problem with iron you might have either a genetic problem with iron where you hold on to iron or you just don’t do well with excess iron you need to consume more chicken meat white meat not the red meat but more the white meat and turkey okay not the dark meat but the white meat that way you can have less amount of iron I don’t know if you like liver beef liver or not but if you’re getting older and you have liver once a week boy that would give you super high level amount of nutrition I mean even if we compare beef liver to regular beef beef liver is super high in iron it has much more iron than regular beef it has super amounts of folate it has about the same amount of amino acids as beef but it has a lot of other things that’s that are really good for your body but if we compare beef liver to oysters Believe It or Not oysters have more iron than even beef liver oysters have more zinc than beef liver as well and so oysters are at the top of the list with those nutrients even more than red meat but if you can consume beef liver once a week if you like it you know I personally don’t like it I wouldn’t do it myself off but if you like it like liver and onions that would be a really good thing to do as you age the other thing that’s I think important to consume twice a week is fatty fish like salmon or sardines that way you can have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids as part of the raw material to support your brain as well as reduce inflammation and support your heart as well the next condition I want to talk about is osteoporosis or osteopenia that basically is a loss of bone osteopenia is like the the phase before you get osteoporosis and of course one of the most important things for that would be vitamin D a good amount of vitamin D as well as the omega-3 to help your bones now let’s shift to another condition called anemia okay the two things you need for anemia are iron and b12 and of course I already mentioned oysters have the highest amount of iron but beef liver is also very high in iron and it’s also very very high in b 12 in
