I wish I could tell you that eating liver is like eating your favorite sandwich or that it goes down as smooth as jello, but I think most of you would beg to differ. And I would beg to differ as well. Most of us aren't getting this ancient superfood in our diets, and we're most definitely lacking in nutrients because of it.
Below, I'm sharing with you the top 12 benefits we receive from consuming grassfed liver on a regular basis. Now before you roll your eyes and consider this long lost food a lost cause, take a few minutes to read below, and I'll share something with you at the end that I think you may find very helpful.
- Liver is the #1 source for receiving the most bio-available form of Vitamin A (retinol). Most of us have been relying on Vitamin A (beta carotene) for our nutrients; however, only about 3% of that kind of Vitamin A is absorbed by our bodies. That's not much! Because every cell in our body relies on Vitamin for healthy function, we need to look to Preformed Vitamin A (retinol) in order to ensure proper health. Our bodies can actually absorb up to 80% of it since it is that much more bio-available.
- Liver contains an unidentified source of phenomenal energy or "anti-fatigue factor" (source). Most people notice a huge energy difference when ingesting liver on a daily or weekly basis.
- Liver is one of the best sources for Vitamin B12 which is vital for healing anemia or those with low-iron (common people prone to low iron/anemia include: pregnant, breastfeeding or menstruating women, vegetarians, and children with low weight and/or birth weight)
