I have a very slight stutter, which is hardly noticeable. Only a couple words trip me up, and I've learned to compensate with some effective speech techniques.
I've noticed, though, that whenever I eat beef, the next day or two afterward, my minor speech impediment is completely gone, and my verbal fluency is in general significantly better (smoother flow of words, more eloquent, witty expressions come much easier and faster). When I stop eating beef, my problem returns after a day or so, as well as noticeably poorer verbal fluency. No other meat or food item has had the same effect, only beef.
I've tried to isolate the causative factor(s), such as supplementing with iron, carnitine, protein, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, etc., as well as other noots, such as the racetams, Noopept, centro, etc, but I've never been able to reproduce with supplements the benefit I gain for my speech issue from simply eating beef itself. I've always wondered what this "active ingredient" might be, because I would like to minimize my red meat intake due to its other health damaging effects.
Would anyone know what might be the active ingredient(s), or had similar experiences?
