‘We should be eating pancreas, heart and testicles’: Bear Grylls reveals he takes ORGAN meat supplements as he shares his secret to healthy living
Bear Grylls has revealed his secret to healthy living as he shared his belief that humans should eat animal organs including pancreas, heart and testicles.
The adventurer, 48, took to Twitter on Sunday to share a short video detailing his daily diet and sharing his nutrition tips on how to ‘stay strong’.
He said he builds all of his meals around ‘good quality red meat’ and said he eats liver every few days, describing the organ as ‘nutrient dense’.
Bear went on to reveal that he takes ancestral supplements, which are dietary products containing organ meat that aim to strengthen the health of the person’s corresponding organs.
The survivalist then said he believes people should be eating organs such as heart, pancreas and liver in order to ‘stay strong’ as he shared his secret to healthy living.
He said: ‘The way I build all of my meals is around really good grass-fed, good quality meat, red meat. Always throw in a bit of liver as well every few days – good grass-fed, good quality liver.
‘So much research going into this of actually how we need red meat and how nutrient dense liver is, but I try and pick the really good grass-fed quality stuff.
‘And then lots of raw dairy, as much fruit as I can, good quality honey. I don’t have much bread or pasta and I just try and avoid the processed food that’s full of so many of the damaging seed oils.
‘I also supplement with ancestral supplements, check them out. That’s because truth is we need more organs than just liver. We should be eating pancreas and heart and all of that sort of stuff, and testicles.
‘So good ancestrally and naturally, but that combination is how I eat, how I try my best to stay strong. I hope it helps you.’
In a caption alongside his post, he added: ‘I’m often asked my secret to having the energy to tackle some of life’s toughest challenges? Nutrition is key, as is resistance training, sunlight, cold water and fun community.’
His latest comments come after Bear recently said that he would have no problem taking King Charles on one of his wilderness adventures.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain last month, he discussed the Monarch’s Big Help Out initiative, which invites Brits to take on volunteering work on May 8 as part of the Sovereign’s coronation celebrations around the UK.
Bear, who will be volunteering with the Scouts, praised King Charles’ support for charity work and hailed the Monarch as ‘an adventurer’.
Asked by Ed Balls, who was presenting the show with Kate Garraway, whether he’d be taking King Charles on one of his adventure, he said the Monarch doesn’t need his help to go enjoy the outdoors.
‘He’s an adventurer at heart, he’s a great walker and he’s a great hiker,’ he said.
‘It’s always a privilege in my work life to introduce amazing people to the outdoors, but he doesn’t need to be introduced to the outdoors.
‘He’s been a great champion of the outdoors his whole life,’ the presenter added.
The TV personality received an OBE from the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2019 for services to young people, the media and charity.
