1. Eat grass-fed beef

Decades ago, cattle used to roam freely on the fields, meaning that what they indulged in was natural and unprocessed. Well, we can’t say the same thing today. Nowadays, due to modern industrial agriculture, most cattle are fed a mix of grains that primarily contains soy and corn. Both soy and corn are actually used to put excess fat on the cattle.

On top of that, they could also receive hormones to fatten them up. All that fat will eventually end up on your plate. That’s why you should always opt for grass-fed beef. As a general rule, grass-fed cows have less fat than grain-fed cattle. Studies even suggest that grass-fed beef is more abundant in omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed beef.

So, from this point of view, eating like your ancestors is definitely a good idea.
