Conventional dietary wisdom holds that the micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and trace elements) we need from foods are most highly concentrated in fruits and vegetables. While it’s true that fresh fruits and veggies are full of vitamins and minerals, their micronutrient content doesn’t always hold up to what is found in meats and organ meats – especially liver.

The chart below lists the micronutrient content of apples, carrots, red meat and beef liver. Note that every nutrient in red meat except for vitamin C surpasses those in apples and carrots, and every nutrient—including vitamin C—in beef liver occurs in exceedingly higher levels in beef liver compared to apple and carrots. In general, organ meats are between 10 and 100 times higher in nutrients than corresponding muscle meats. (That said, fruits and vegetables are rich in phytonutrients like flavonoids and polyphenols that aren’t found in high concentrations in meats and organ meats, so fresh produce should always be a significant part of your diet.)

Sorry could copy chart properly but the first nutrient amount is from apples, carrots, red meat and beef liver in that order. In the actual link has a better copy of the chart.

My humble opinion is that cfs at least in my case we do not absorb at first as well for whatever reason. I would juice!!! Daily and eat like no other and my spinal tap I was "malnutrition" person.


After that I always supplement and my CBC looks
So much better now. I can recite every superfood u can think. That is how I eat. And still need to suplement.

I'd probably each much better than I do if I was able to get out every week and get my own groceries. And if I had the energy to do all the prep and cooking necessary.

Now if I had that man-servant I keep asking for, problem solved!

I recently added digestive enzymes before meals which help with protein absorption. Im finding im not hungry while im using liver and amino acid pills between meals. I've already lost a few kilos.
