So they've developed compounds that slightly irritate the digestive tract of a mammal that would then cause the mammal not to come back and nuke that plant population or cause the mammal to poop and propagate the seed out elsewhere of the plant.

They can actually induce your body's own antioxidant production that allow your body to become stronger over time the same way as it would with small amounts of sauna or

But if we don't have guts that can handle those plant defense mechanisms, then they can also cause issues.

cold, exercise, cardiovascular movement, strength, et cetera.

Now, in trace amounts, and this is why a very myopic diet isn't such a good idea, in trace amounts, these are known as xenohormetic agents, these plant defense mechanisms.

Now, the more diverse your diet, the better your bacteria become at being able to handle these plant defense compounds.

So kind of a long answer to your question, but when it comes to meat and diet in general, I think the general things to think about are

Where is the meat sourced from?

What is the meat accompanied with?

And hopefully that's not sugar, seed oils, and processed foods.

Are you consuming full parts of the animal in a diverse array of animals?

Fish, chicken slash poultry, meat, liver, organs, bone marrow, bone broth, etc.

Do you have a high amount of dietary diversity in the realm of herbs, spices, plants, vegetables, fruits, berries, seeds, nuts, et cetera, to go along with that meat?
