The Single Food that had the Greatest Impact on My Overall Health
I’m not one for gimmicks or quick fixes. Being in robust health doesn’t happen overnight but generally takes making significant changes to diet, movement, mindset, stress, sleep, etc over an extended period of time.

Then entered, organ meat. I had known it was good for me for a long time and even would sneak it in every now and again in ground beef dishes but I never fully took the plunge. I decided to start making liver pate and eating 1-2 tbsp daily on my morning vegetables and eggs.
