Foreword warning, this article is not to suggest that you eat raw meat, but to tell you that there are such a group of people in the world who are eating this way and benefiting from it.
In today’s life, it is difficult to find reliable raw meat, so don’t try blindly.
Do you still remember this blogger living in Southeast Asia, who is almost 50 years old? You see, her skin is really good to glow.
She has 20+ years of previous vegetarian experience, and 2017 started a meat-only diet, often one meal a day, one meal at a time. Pounds of meat.
2018 started eating raw meat and found myself in better and better shape.
Today we will talk about the difference between raw meat and cooked meat, and why some people eat raw meat.
What is a raw meat diet?
The raw meat diet, as the name suggests, consists primarily of raw meat.
A strict raw meat diet is eating raw meats such as raw steak, beef, chicken, liver, lamb and venison, some people eat raw eggs, raw fish and Raw dairy products.
When you tell others that you are eating raw meat, the first reaction others will ask you is: Is it safe to eat this way?
Raw meat is dangerous because it contains a lot of bacteria and parasites that we can kill by cooking at high temperatures.
However, it has been said that most meat bacteria and viruses emerge during circulation, when the food is poorly prepared or the meat is of poor quality , easily infected.
Although the risk of bacteria in raw meat is higher than cooked meat, it is okay to eat raw meat as long as it is prepared properly and the food source is safe.
Also, we have powerful stomach acids that help us kill bacteria and parasites.
Many people think that meat needs to be cooked to digest well, and raw meat is not easy to digest.
Raw or cooked meat, which is better to digest?
Actually, many people start eating raw meat because of digestive system problems. Take a look at the following two well-known studies.
→Raw frog experiment, raw meat is better digested
In 1984, a Russian scientist named Alexander Ugorev performed an experiment on 2 frogs— – One cooked and one raw.
Place each frog in a cup filled with hydrochloric acid, which is present in the stomachs of most carnivores.
The results were interesting, the raw frogs dissolved completely, while the pre-cooked frogs, with only modest surface changes, did not dissolve well.
The reason is that the cells in the raw frog “autolysis”, “self-destruction” when placed in hydrochloric acid.
A raw frog comes into contact with HCl, and the hydrogen ions in the acid immediately begin to permeate the animal’s cells, destroy the cell’s lysosomes, and release powerful enzymes. These enzymes work directly to digest the frog’s body – they are part of the body, in other words, the hydrochloric acid works with the animal’s own enzymes to fully digest it.
What about a cooked frog, its enzymes have been destroyed, so HCL can only affect the animal’s external tissues. When the HCl is exhausted, the digestion process ends.
In other words, raw frogs digest on their own in the presence of hydrochloric acid (stomach acid), and cooked frogs cannot fully digestdue to the chemical changes caused by cooking.
Is this an explanation for why those who eat raw meat report that they feel digestion improved after eating raw meat.
→POTTENGER cat experiment
In the 1930s Francis Pottinger Jr conducted an experiment on 900+ cats, some fed raw meat and milk , others were fed cooked food, some were fed a mix of raw and cooked food.
It was found that cats fed raw food were consistently healthier, both physically and mentally, than cooked meat.
Furthermore, there are many problems with feeding cooked cats that get worse with each generation of deli cats .
Health problems are reversed when deli cats are fed a raw meat diet, and even then it will take generations to recover strong>Totally healthy.
Frogs and cats are like this, and it feels better to eat raw meat, but what about humans?
→Observation by Weston Price
In the 1930s, dentist Weston A. Price documented the Health status.
He found that Aboriginal people, who ate raw meat and cooked animal foods, were free from most modern diseases and had perfectly developed teeth.
In modern cities, the standard American diet at that time was mainly cooked food, and people had facial dysplasia and many diseases. .
He later began offering his patients an animal-based raw food diet to reverse many diseases and alter facial structures.
Advantages of a raw meat diet
In addition to denaturing proteins and making them less digestible, high-temperature cooking will also cause the loss of many vitamins, such as water-soluble vitamins.
So what are the benefits of raw meat over cooked meat?
→More B vitamins and enzymes
Raw beef, which contains more high amounts of B vitamins, promotes cellular health, enhances brain function, boosts energy levels and helps prevent infection, cooking meat will allow B complex Vitamin loss.
Among them, vitamin B6 is a heat-sensitive nutrient that can be destroyed by frying or simmering.
Furthermore, the cooking process tends to kill off large amounts of enzymes present in raw meat, and increased amounts of enzymes present in raw meat may have beneficial health effects /strong>.
→More Vitamin C
We all know that high temperatures can destroy vitamin C and let it run out.
Vitamin C is a heat-sensitive vitamin that is lost from meat during cooking.
When eating raw meat, there are no calories to remove vitamin C, so a raw meat diet can give you plenty of vitamin C.
→fewer potential carcinogens
Cooking meat produces a range of potentially carcinogenic compounds, especially when frying and grilling at high temperatures.
High-temperature roasting of proteins increases the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are by-products formed when proteins and sugars encounter a heat source.
Braised or smoked meat, the protein, sugar and creatine in the meat react to form what is known as heterocyclic amines (HCAs).
On the grill, when seasonings and fats drip onto the heat source, fumes are created, forming another carcinogen, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), Adverse effects on health.

Disadvantages of a raw meat diet
Like all diets, raw meat diets have some disadvantages, such as:
→Eating raw meat increases the risk of infection
Although we have strong stomach acid that can take care of most parasites and bacteria, we still hear many cases of infection from eating raw meat, which is why I have been afraid to try it.
Nowadays, it’s hard to buy reliable raw meat unless we raise it ourselves and then kill the pigs and sheep ourselves.
When trying a raw meat diet for the first time, you need to find a good source of meat, and it can be expensive.
→Bad taste, not used to eating
In the beginning, eating raw meat was hard to swallow. Compared with grilled meat, raw meat was not a food at all.
5 tips for eating meat safely

Some cases of foreign raw meat diets
Finally, I would like to share with you some raw food stories, again: imitations are not recommended.
→Brain blur, decreased energy and eczema gone after raw meat diet
New York Post reports that Weston Rowe started eating a balanced diet and working out in her 20s, but suffered from Weston Rowe strong>After eczema, brain fog, and low energy, try a raw meat diet by age 35.
Weston says, “99% of my farms eat fresh raw meat, all meats (such as beef, liver, chicken and other animal parts) and raw dairy products are sourced from local suppliers and friends who raise livestock, and I grow my own fruit in the garden.”
Now, never get sick or unwell from eating, nor eat processed foods, and have better physical and mental health than ever before.
Rowe eats about 2-3 meals a day, one pound of raw meat and half a pound of unsalted raw butter for lunch, then 1 piece of fruit and 3-4 raw eggs, and sometimes he adds baked potatoes, which are pretty much the only cooked food he eats.
Some of Rowe’s favorite foods are raw beef with butter, chicken liver and lamb brain.

He said, “Eating the best, most nutritious food in the world is what I used to spend on junk food, in my opinion.”
→Bodybuilder Brian Johnson’s Raw Meat Diet
Brian started out on a balanced diet (high carb), but allergies got worse and his kids got bad allergies.
You can get hives from just being outdoors, shortness of breath, puffy eyes, and a runny nose, even when playing with the house dog.
So he started no processed foods, eating ancestral nutrition: seasonal fruits and vegetables, meat from all parts of animals, Include the most nutrient-dense part of all, the liver.
“In just 2 weeks I’ve seen a fundamental change in the well-being of the boys, and ourselves, 20 years later , I eat a pound of liver a day.”
Now, Brian eats raw liver, testes and bone marrow every day.

Key Thin Dragon Says
Eating raw meat is risky and must be exercised with caution.
For most people, this article is considered anecdotal.
Because, this is not a dietary choice for the average person, just one of many special diets.
Don’t try it unless you have to.
Many foreigners who eat raw meat described in this article are suffering from some incurable diseases and choose to eat raw meat.
Many people don’t think that this diet makes many problems go away, mainly digestive problems, feel more relaxed, have more energy, and feel a lot healthier.
If you want to try a raw meat diet, be sure to be well-prepared.
Don’t take the risk Eat raw meat, organ meats and bone marrow of unknown origin on supermarket shelves.
Because the domestic environment is difficult to have an environment where raw meat can be eaten, the risk of infection is too great, such as E. coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter, which may cause Fever, diarrhea and vomiting, many people suffer from foodborne illness every year.
The only meat that can be eaten raw is meat you can fully trust, grass-fed or pasture grown happily, in a sterile environment throughout the process, free from germs Infected animal meat.
If you can’t eat assured meat, it is recommended to choose cooked meat before eating, which is safer.
Anyway, the raw meat diet isn’t terrible, it’s just that it fits a small group of people and may help heal some stubborn problems that medicines can’t.
