mayo5. Raw Cultured Dairy:

Most dairy that is available is extremely inflammatory, and damaging to the body. The only dairy I recommend is organic, raw, grass fed dairy products. If you cannot find raw, then organic, low-temp pasteurized, full fat plain dairy is the best option! If you can tolerate dairy, it can be an extremely nourishing food.

  • When cattle eat grass they become extremely healthy.  The grass and green foods are rich in phytonutrient anti-oxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and chlorophyll. The meat and milk of grassfed animals are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA, CLA, B12, zinc, iron, creatine, L-carnitine.
  • Fermented or cultured dairy products include  fresh raw cream, milk, curds & whey, yogurt, kefir, amasai, cheeses & butter.
  • Around the world people have relied upon naturally fermented milk from all different types of animals for a key nutrition source. This fermented milk provides highly bioavailable protein, enzymes, beneficial lactobacillus probiotics, vitamin K2, and other nutrients.
  • When raw milk is left out it actually ferments with beneficial lactic acid bacteria such as acidophilus, increasing the nutrient content dramatically.
  • Fermented dairy from 100% grass-fed cows provides healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and probiotics.  These probiotic strains help enhance gut motility and nutrient absorption.
  • Cultured dairy products contain tons of omega 3 fatty acids and CLA that are linked with healthy weight loss and improved muscle mass.  It also contains healthy protein & fat soluble vitamins A, E, D3, & K2.
