What Is the Vertical Diet?
The thought is that sometimes foods just pass through the body and leave as waste.
According to the Vertical Diet, eating foods your body prefers will help you better absorb the nutrients.
Limiting the variety of foods could lead to nutrient deficiencies and risk for chronic diseases in the long run.
More importantly, many of the restricted foods include essentialnutrients important for gut health, like fiber.
Researchers theorize that red meat contains high amounts of the amino acid derivative L-carnitine.
And unfortunately, grass-fed and hormone-free meat costs even more.
