Dear John,
Happy Mother's Day!  

Happy Mother's Day!  Every year, Mother's Day kicks off National Women's Health Week, a week dedicated to promoting women's health.  The theme this year is It's Your Time, meaning that it is time to make your health one of your top priorities.  However, you don't have to sacrifice your favorite sweets to do this - to satisfy your sweet tooth try our new line of organically grown Dark Chocolate or our raw, dairy-free organic Cashew Cream Ice Cream, in six decadent flavors!       

 

Family dinners can actually improve your health?  CNN Health reported on a recent study in the journal Pediatrics, that showed that children who eat dinner with their families at least three nights per week are at a reduced risk for obesity, eating disorders, and eat fewer unhealthy foods.  This promising study shows that our kids do pay attention to what we are eating, so the sooner we are able to introduce nutrient-dense foods, including grass-fed meats and raw dairy products, the more they will pay attention and choose those foods on their own.  The Weston A. Price Foundation website has a full section on children's health, as well as a great post about packing the perfect lunchbox.   

 

Now is a great time to stock up on chicken!  Some of our favorites: chicken wings and chicken feet are on sale this week.  Chicken feet are key ingredients to a great chicken stock.  Our chicken cutlets, drumsticks and chicken-apple sausages are all featured on a volume discount this week, so the more you buy the more you save!  Since grilling season is here again, add some All-Natural BBQ Sauce to your next order for BBQ chicken on the grill!  See our recipe section below for one of our favorite spring chicken salads.   

 

We get questions every week about supplements - which ones do I need?  how much do I take?  And the list goes on.  One of our favorites to recommend is Orion Concentrated Minerals.  Not only are they organic, but they are naturally ionic - which means that they contain the most concentrated and active beds of trace minerals that are essential for overall health.  It also contains substantial amounts of Fulvic Acid, which helps distribute those minerals directly to the inner cell.  Luckily, Concentrated Minerals are very easy to take - simply add a few drops of the liquid supplement to your next bottle of water.  One bottle should last you two-three months, depending on your desired dosage.  For additional supplements that will help to provide the body with trace minerals, vitamins and other nutrients, visit our sister website US Cell Wellness.    

 

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at the Navel Expo on Long Island last weekend!  We had a great visit to NYC and look forward to seeing everyone again next year. 

 

Internet Explorer 9.0 Glitch

Internet Explorer recently introduced Version 9.0 that contains a gremlin on SSL websites employing  user name and passwords. It has come to our attention in the past two weeks that the check out process will stall out after entering credit card information when shipping address options are presented.  

 

Our web server manager suggests the user re-download Version 9.0 direct from Microsoft in hope a patch has been installed.  Plan B is to use Firefox or Chrome browsers which work fine or call our toll free line below.  Plan C suggests sending a trouble ticket to Microsoft if you encounter hang up during check out process.  

 

We apologize for this maddening problem out of our control.

This week's question: "Which flower symbolizes Mother's Day?"  Please email your answers to jen@grasslandbeef.com.

Thanks to all who have been participating in our Trivia Contests! In the last news alert, we asked: The famous easter egg roll on the White House lawn is a tradition that dates back to what year?  The answer was: 1878.

Happy Easter Regards, 

John, Lee Ann, Megan, Tressa, Jennifer and Amanda on behalf of the farm families of U.S. Wellness Meats

Question and Answer Column

Eric Seranno

 

Dear Dr. Serrano,

 

My son has Crohn's . He is currently doing well, by eating a very healthy diet including beef from U.S. Wellness. I have it directly shipped to his university's cafeteria. I have read conflicting reports on whether or not a person with this disease should eat beef. Is beef difficult to digest with a compromised digestive system? I would appreciate any insights you have.

Sincerely,
CP

________________________________________ 


Dear CP,

 

First, I want to let you know how proud I am of your dedication. Crohn's disease is one that can be controlled with diet and no drugs. I am going to give you some guidelines for the management of the disease, although you are doing a wonderful job so far. No studies have ever shown that red meat is bad or good for Crohn's in the medical literature. However, the literature concentrates primarily on drugs and surgery. I have lots of both types of cases - earlier in the diagnosis, or later stage, more advanced Crohn's.

The most important thing to do first with Crohn's is to find out if your child may have any food allergies or sensitivities. Allergies to particular foods, or immune reactions such as celiac disease contribute to the inflammation which is the hallmark of Crohn's. The foods to investigate are as follows, in order of most allergenic to least allergenic: dairy, wheat, eggs, peanuts, soy. As you can see there is no mention of meat on this list.

To help with digestion, especially of proteins, supplement his diet with digestive enzymes, probiotics and fermented foods, such as yogurt (low sugar types). Encourage plenty of fluids, but again avoid the sugary, corn syrup laden fruit drinks. Good quality organic, grass-fed natural meats are vitally important in your son's diet. Besides the high quality, lower fat protein he will be consuming, grass-fed beef is high in Omega 3's and Conjugated Linoleic Acid, both of which are extremely helpful in lowering the body's inflammatory response. Watch fruits. Some fruits can cause reactions or flare-ups due to the high sugar content of the fruit. Pay attention for signs and symptoms of that. Food allergies can be checked with a blood test, but the best method is the two week elimination diet.

Overall it sounds as if you are on the right track with your son's diet and nutrition. Avoiding junky, starchy sugary foods, and sugary drinks will help to reduce the inflammation and prevent flare-ups. Increase his intake of high quality meats, such as US Wellness grass-fed beef with CLA and Omega 3's and your son should be able to enjoy optimal health.

All the best, 

   

Dr. Serrano

Customer Feedback
SteakMr. Wood,

I just read an article, written by Darren Rovell of CNBC and felt compelled to write you regarding your efforts to promote grass-fed beef.

One year ago I joined a Crossfit gym in Yorkville, Illinois.  I suffered from obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides,  joint pain and all of the sub-conditions that spawn from these.  The Crossfit community promotes a paleo/primal lifestyle and I quickly adopted the habits.  My family now consumes grass fed meats in addition to the other tenets of a paleo lifestyle.

Sir, not only do elite athletes discover the significant benefits of your product but an entire global community of Crossfit athletes ranging from young children to the elderly are avid consumers of grass-fed beef.  I myself have noted significant improvement in joint function and pain reduction.  My hands and knees feel outstanding and at age 43 I am performing at a level equal to or exceeding what I did in my youth.  I should add that my blood chemistry is normal now due solely to diet and I have dropped 30 pounds. Today I am 6'0, 185 pounds and prescription drug-free.

I credit the performance gains to a healthy lifestyle based on consumption of hormone free, grass fed (and finished) beef, organic fruits and vegetables, the elimination of sugars and drinking plenty of water. 

I commend you for your efforts and hope you will consider including the Crossfit community in your future marketing.  The athletes would welcome you with open arms.

Regards,

Scott S.
