This is a healthy egg pancake with cabbage, onion, & cheese from grass-fed cows. My dad puts an emphasis on “grass-fed” to maximize your long-term health.
Why grass-fed?
Grass-fed cows are fed with natural grass. Cows that are not grass-fed are often grain-fed. Grain can be harmful.
Why can grain be harmful?
For 1, grains contain lectins, which can be harmful. For 2, it is worth noting that grains have never been a big part of the diets of our ancestors.
Why can lectins be harmful?
For 1, lectins can bind to nutrients and prevents your body absorbing these nutrients. For 2, lectins can bind to the digestive tract & cells in general, thereby disrupting digestion and absorption of important nutrients. For example, a type of lectins contained in undercooked kidney beans can cause red blood cells to clump together. For 3, it is speculated that certain plants contain lectins to defend themselves from plant eaters. These are plants that do not require consumption by animals to spread their seeds.
Don’t they have some benefits?
Maybe, to be honest. At the end of the day, I just want to bring awareness. I ask you to please consider these points and keep your diet balanced.
