Curb the Cravings

After a week of candy and sugary sweets, children will eventually come down off the sugar high. Some will crash while others tend to manage the withdrawals a little better. Some of that will depend on diet. When a person experiences a sugar rush, their blood sugar level spikes because of the extra glucose making its way through the body. Once the sugar is gone, the body wants to attain that "high" again. That's how sugar addiction works and why the body craves more, more, more. One way to help is to make sure you and your family have high quality proteins and fiber in your diet. This will help the body negotiate the effects of the sugars — by curbing the cravings and helping to heal the gut. It's one reason why a Ketogenic Diet benefits so many people. Processed sugar can wreak all sorts of havoc in the body, with the gut taking a big hit. Organ meats, broths and fats from grass-fed, pasture-raised animals, and wild-caught seafood can help undo or mitigate the damage done. If you're worried your child or grandchild won't like the taste of organ meats, it's relatively simple to "sneak" some into meatloafs, casseroles, tacos and burritos, and other meals. A couple excellent options for this is our Liverwurst and 75% Ground Beef with Heart, Kidney, and Liver. And, even if you're not so concerned about the health benefits of grass-fed, grass-finished meats, you'll love the flavor!

US Wellness Meats is one of only a few sustainable resources for gut healthy "Nose to Tail" products like Bones, Fats, and Organ Meats. We don't waste anything. That principle is in honor of the animals we spend so much time and effort raising and our dedication to good nutrition. Bones, Fats, and Organ Meats are some of nature's most nutrient dense foods. Some call them superfoods for this very reason and we're inclined to agree.

All the Best,  Team USWM
