A worldwide debate continues:
To eat, or not to eat meat, that is the question.
Many say subpar science has pushed us away from our best nutrition, your biology agrees.
L- Carnitine, a nutrient found only in animals, is required by your cells to thrive + produce energy

Your body is made up of ~30 trillion cells, each one contains an intricate universe of cell structures
Mitochondria are the power grid your cell machinery depends on. The food, oxygen + water you consume are the fuel
How does Carnitine work its magic? Let's dive deeper

Fatty acids from your diet enter your cells with a goal to get inside the mitochondria
You need the fat to create ATP, a source of cellular life
Imagine Carnitine as a shuttle service working around the clock to expedite the process
No carnitine = inadequate energy production

Many systems in your body rely heavily on optimal mitochondrial function:
Immune
Heart
Liver
Brain
Removing such a vital nutrient from your diet is a biological trainwreck waiting to happen.

Red meat, fish, chicken + pork are the only dietary sources.
Vegans + vegetarians put themselves at serious long term health perils once carnitine reserves deplete themselves
Your cells unfortunately don't care about your moral high ground
Are you willing to take that risk?

Treat your body right. Denying its infinite wisdom for the sake of your ego is a modern day crime
Meat is a source of vitality that we must not disregard
Your health is all you have in the end

Recommendations are simple:
1) Eat the best quality meat you can find
2) Supplementation is a MUST if you choose to be vegan/vegetarian
