These days a lot of people, you likely included, are horrified by how animals are treated on factory farms, want to lower their ecological footprint, and are looking for healthier alternatives for their families.  

We can help!  Here’s why eating our Grass-Fed meat is better for you than conventionally raised products.


6 Reasons Grass-fed Beef is Healthier For You


1) OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS: 
GRASS-FED ANIMALS CONTAIN 2-5X MORE OMEGA-3S THAN GRAIN FED ANIMALS. HEART HEALTHY OMEGA-3S CAN HELP LOWER BAD CHOLESTEROL LEVELS AND REDUCE YOUR RISK OF A HEART ATTACK. THESE FATS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR BRAIN AND HAVE BEEN LINKED WITH LOWER LEVELS WITH DEPRESSION AND ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER.

2)  CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID (CLA):
CLA IS MUCH MORE PROMINENT IN GRASS-FED THAN GRAIN-FED ANIMALS.  CLA IS THOUGHT TO HELP PROTECT YOUR BODY AGAINST CANCER AND CAN ALSO HELP PREVENT WEIGHT GAIN.

3)  LOWER CALORIES: 
GRASS-FED IS NATURALLY LEANER BECAUSE GRAIN FED ANIMALS CONTAIN GREATER AMOUNTS OF FAT DUE TO THEIR HIGH PROTEIN (GRAIN) DIET.

4)  ANTIOXIDANTS: 
GRASS-FED ANIMALS CONTAIN HIGHER AMOUNTS OF VITAMIN E WHICH HELPS PROTECT CELLS AGAINST OXIDATION WHICH CAN LOWER YOUR RISK OF CANCER.

5)  HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER LIVESTOCK:
 NATURE’S PANTRY’S COWS HAVE UNLIMITED ACCESS TO FRESH GRASS, SUNSHINE AND FRESH AIR.  WE NEVER GIVE HORMONES OR ANTIBIOTICS AND WE NEVER USE CHEMICALS ON OUR PASTURES. THESE COWS ARE SPOILED ROTTEN!

6)  ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE:
 GRASS-FED ANIMALS GIVE BACK TO THE LAND, IMPROVING THE SOIL, PLANT HEALTH AND CAPTURING MORE GREENHOUSE GASSES THAN THEY PRODUCE.  A HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT IS BETTER FOR US ALL!

 
When you order from Nature’s Pantry, you know exactly how your food is raised; with respect for the animals, land and your health. :)

Sick Kids? Try This Tasty, Easy Way to Boost Healthy Gut Bacteria

When I was a kid, I was on antibiotics constantly for strep throat or ear infections. Then as a teen/young adult I took antibiotics daily for years to treat acne. Certainly not something I'm proud of and definitely not something I'll be doing with my kids, but that's my reality and it's been a big part of my healing journey. Now that I see health in a different light, navigating the crunchy mom arena can sometimes be hard. I understand we get sick and antibiotics are sometimes necessary.

We did it... we survived the holidays! 🥳 I love Christmas, but let's be honest, it can be little stressful, too. All the shopping, present wrapping, cooking, special Christmas morning breakfasts, extra laundry, fighting kids, cookie baking, cleaning, stomach flu ​🤢, traveling, and late nights. It's a lot.

Make Clean Eating Easy With These Simple Food Swaps

I grew up eating toaster strudels and hamburger helper, just like you. I never put any thought into the food I was eating - I just made sure it was low fat. Then the question "why is everyone so sick?" led us to where we are today. I spent countless hours reading books, researching on the internet, and filtering through a mountain of overwhelming information. I was finally able to put all the pieces together and wrap my brain around what you eat matters.
