You should eat more butter. If you are already aware that butter is a “superfood” then perhaps you already eat a lot. Grass-fed organic is best.

Butter is amazingly healthy. Tasty too. Maybe, just maybe, these non butter food like products will go extinct if butter becomes famous again.

1. Perfect for cooking
Butter is made up of mostly saturated fat which is more heat stable then all other types of fats. Butter, coconut oil and palm oil are best for cooking due to their saturated fat content.
2. Makes all foods more palatable
Do you have kids who don’t like to eat their veggies, especially leafy greens like kale or spinach? Cook them in butter. Or steam them and add butter when finished cooking.
3. High in Vitamin A
Per tablespoon, grass-fed butter has 10% of your daily value of Vitamin A. Vitamin A from animal foods are much more bioavailable.
4. High in CLA
CLA is Conjugated Linoleic Acid. It’s a naturally occurring trans fat that is much more present in grass-fed animals compared to conventionally raised animals. It’s known to be anti cancerous.
5. Easy on your wallet; inexpensive source of calories
Because butter is almost pure fat, its very calorie dense. This is a good thing folks! You don’t want to limit your intake of real food!
6. Lactose and casein is almost non existent
Lactose – the sugar in dairy, and casein – the protein in dairy, are two very common allergens. Lactase is the enzyme that is needed to breakdown lactose. Pasteurization kills this miracle enzyme. This is one of many reasons why folks have many problems with dairy. If you have acne, then you should most definitely avoid dairy.
7. It’s easy to make clarified butter
Some folks are extremely sensitive to casein and/or lactose. Is this you? No worry… you can still eat butter! You just need to clarify it or buy ghee from a place like Whole Foods. Purity Farms is a fantastic brand. This simple process completely removes the delicate amounts of casein and lactose that are present.
8. Easy storage
You can store butter in the refrigerator or you can leave it out around room temperature. It softens a bit when left out but stays as a solid stick.
9. So “I can’t believe it’s not butter” goes extinct
I can’t believe its not butter either folks. Have you ever looked at the ingredients of this product? Millions still believe butter is harmful. I mean, its a whole, real, nutritious, satisfying food.

Insulin is the master hormone, it governs pretty much every other hormone in some wayand management of it is critical if muscular gain or fat loss is your priority.

Insulin has the ability to increase the uptake of protein into cells, as well as increasinganabolic (Building/Regenerative) processes it can also help decrease catabolic (degenerative) processes.

To make insulin work for us depends on the individual but fundamentally it involves consuming carbs and protein together. Insulin then under the right environment and at the right levels triggers anabolism and delivers the amino acids for protein synthesis (Muscle adaptation).

Managing Insulin is all about the diet and what we’re looking for is a small spike in most cases, enough to drive those nutrients into tissue.

The only meal as a note that requires a rapid and high spike in insulin is the post workout.

During a workout we have damaged tissue and driven blood sugar down. This needs a reactive spike to bring blood sugar and insulin levels back to baseline and also drive amino acids to repair the damaged cells. Utilizing a post workout carb and protein drink is critical as this speeds up the absorption. Irrelevant of the makeup of an individual I would in almost ALL cases recommend a 2:1 ratio of carbs and protein post workout.

Many studies show the importance of consuming foods that contain a-carotene, such as orange, yellow and dark green vegetables. Also, you should be certain that your multivitamin supplements have a mixture of carotenoids that include alpha-carotene, such as Multi-Intense and PHyto Px. In other words, try adding a bit more color to your life!
