Hi {NAME}, What have other regions of the world taught us about meat recently? For one, it does seem that cultures that eat moderate amounts of meat donât have the shortened life expectancy that weâre sometimes led to believe. Heck, Hong Kong has a tremendous life expectancy of 87 for females and almost 83 for males. They eat some of the most meat in the world, but they also do so along with fiber and greens. Then you have Switzerland which is 3rd highest in terms of life expectancy in the world. Lots of dairy, fair bit of meat, and depending on what area you are in, possibly some more chocolate. Weâve also seen similar things with the Nicoyan region of Costa Rica. Sure, they eat a lot of beans and legumes, but they also eat a lot of locally raised meat. Then it starts to get even more wild. When you start looking at gut health across various populations, there was a huge study published in the [Human Microbiome Journal]( that demonstrated that the African regions have some of the most diverse microbiomes and lowest instances of gastrointestinal disease. They eat a lot of meat, but its local, often wild game, and they eat a lot of healthy grains and nuts that are locally sourced. This is just the tip of the iceberg, really. I think it is becoming increasingly clear that local, wild foods are superior⦠Heck, if you look at the Scandinavian countries, they still eat loads of wild game meat, and their life expectancy is very good! In fact, 3 of the top 7 countries with the greatest life expectancy are in the Nordic Region. One of the staples in the Nordic regions? Wild game meat. BTW - If you want wild game meat, I highly recommend you try [Maui Nui Venison](. They have wild caught axis deer, but the best part is they put it into meat sticks. All wild caught game meat, without the BS.

Letâs look at some of the perks of wild game meat, but without getting super heavy scientifically: - Wild game is able to roam freely in the wild, while framed animals, although organic, are often cramped and not allowed to move as much. This means that wild game is likely healthier, and leaner, and could benefit our health more as a result.
- You donât have to worry about antibiotics or any other pharmaceuticals which may reside in the meat.
- Similarly, you will know that no hormones have been added to the meats.
- Factory farmed animals are often deprived of a natural diet and habitat. The foods they eat are often not fresh/organic like they are in the wild, and their conditions are sometimes dirty, small and stressful. All of this can lead to increased risk of disease spreading and subsequent illness from consuming the meat. Now, letâs get more scientific with a cool study that was published in the [Proceedings of the Latvian Academy of Sciences]( (in Latvia, they would know about wild game meat). Get ready for this⦠This study looked at the difference in meat between wild and domestic animals. They looked at the nutrition value of elk, wild deer, farm deer, roe deer, and wild boar that were killed during hunting in Latvia, collected the meat samples and compared them to domestic animals. They found that wild game meat samples had a significantly higher protein and essential fatty acid content compared with domestic animals! While the total fat content did not differ, they did find that wild game has a more favourable omega-6:omega-3 ratio which is another issue with the modern, Westernized diet which is far higher in omega-6s than omega-3s. This is enough for me. If I had it my way, I would realistically eat wild game meat as my meat of choice all the time. For what it's worth, Maui Nui makes it pretty accessible. But even if itâs just some meat sticks, itâs nice to know it really is pretty darn clean. Hereâs that code for 35% off (limited time) TDL24 at [( Now, donât get me wrong. I am not suggesting that Game Meat is the REASON these regions live so long. Not at all. Itâs just when you look at the hard data on the meat itself and you cross reference that with how healthy the people are⦠it is pretty compelling. And no one is going to convince me that some feed lot beef is better than something wild caught. Period. I am a big fan of Blue Zones, but we need to look a bit deeper beyond what we are just being told. Do your OWN research.
