Milk, Red Meat, and Real Bread: Are Biblical Foods the Missing Key to Wellness?
When it comes to health and nutrition, the answers often feel more complicated than they need to be. But what if the wisdom of ancient diets holds the key to modern wellness? Foods like milk, red meat, and whole-grain bread—often staples in Biblical texts—are resurfacing as powerful allies for your body, mind, and spirit.
The Nutritional Power of Milk
Milk has been criticized in modern diets for its saturated fat content, but this natural source of calcium, protein, and vitamin D has long been praised for its ability to strengthen bones and support overall vitality. Drinking milk or incorporating high-quality dairy into your meals can help:
Improve bone density and reduce osteoporosis risk
Support muscle recovery, especially when paired with strength training
Enhance digestive health when fermented as kefir or yogurt
For a deep dive into nutrient-dense recipes that balance milk with other wholesome foods, check out my cookbook Savor The World Global Bites, where traditional ingredients meet modern wellness.
Red Meat: A Source of Strength
Red meat often gets a bad reputation, but lean cuts are packed with heme iron, B vitamins, and high-quality protein—critical for energy, brain function, and muscle repair. The key is moderation and sourcing grass-fed or organic meat to maximize benefits while minimizing inflammation.
In my article “Protein and Performance: How to Fuel Your Body Naturally”, I explore how integrating animal proteins strategically can improve fitness outcomes for busy parents, home cooks, and professional chefs alike.

Real Bread: Carbs the Way Nature Intended
Refined carbs have been linked to blood sugar spikes, but traditional, whole-grain breads provide fiber, minerals, and a slow-release energy source that fuels the day.
Think Ezekiel bread or other sprouted grain options that are closer to what our ancestors enjoyed. Pairing real bread with protein and healthy fats creates a balanced meal that keeps you full, energized, and satisfied.
For recipe inspiration, see my guide Savor Mediterranean, which includes meals built around wholesome, traditional ingredients that honor these ancient nutrition principles.
Bringing It All Together
Incorporating milk, red meat, and real bread into your diet isn’t about fad trends—it’s about returning to whole foods that nourish your body naturally. Start small: add a cup of milk to your breakfast, cook a grass-fed steak once or twice a week, and explore sprouted breads for sandwiches or toast.
