Today is the big day! Super Bowl Sunday is the culmination of efforts from 32 professional football teams all vying for a spot in this game. Teams battle through an eighteen week season of seventeen regular season games. Today, Kansas City and Philadephia will put everything on the line to carry home the trophy. In order to make it to the Championship game in any sport your team has to do a lot of things right. There's not much room for error at this level. It's why nutrition, fitness, mental accuity, practice, coaching, talent, skill, effort and attitude is so important. All of these items are pieces to a championship puzzle. Coaches often tell their players to "give it their all", or to "leave everything on the field". Athletes at the professional level know they have to be sharp. Even the tiniest letdown in focus can result in a loss.
Nutrition plays an important role in getting to Super Bowl Sunday. Athletes use every advantage available and most will know that peak performance comes from high quality fuel. Healthy fats in grass-fed and pastured animal proteins promote healing, reduce inflamation, and provide a longer lasting energy source than quick burning carbohydrates. For athletes, that means they are on the field longer, heal faster, and have improved focus. For the rest of us, it means a healthier immune system for fighting off sickness, more energy to get us through a long work week, better cognitive functions, and fewer chronic illnesses. Seems like a pretty good recipe for the rest of us too.

"In our fast-forward culture, we have lost the art of eating well. Food is often little more than fuel to pour down the hatch while doing other stuff - surfing the Web, driving, walking along the street. Dining al desko is now the norm in many workplaces. All of this speed takes a toll. Obesity, eating disorders and poor nutrition are rife."

"These content cattle are enjoying the abundance of February grazing along the Gulf Coast. Ruminant animals played a critical role in soil regeneration and how the rich soils were created in America. The prairies of the Midwest and Great Plains stretched from the Gulf to the Canadian border with deep vibrant soils teaming with soil biology creating carbon in a near perfect energy cycle driven by solar energy. Long live healthy soil."
