…10 Health Benefits Of Eating Beef …

Calorie for calorie, where can you find the most nutrient dense, protein packed food that provides an abundance of your daily vitamins? You find it in the plains of Texas, the badlands of Australia, and the grassy borders of the Amazon rainforest. The answer is beef.

Yep, the great bovine provides an abundance of what the human body needs to grow, heal, energize and thrive. Eating a well-balanced diet is important and beef should be a mainstay in that diet. It is included in the popular keto diet, which has been embraced around the world. Here are 10 health benefits of eating Beef.

1.    Beef is the number one source for lean protein. Pound for pound, ounce for ounce, beef is the best source of protein on the planet. Four ounces of lean beef contain just over ten per cent of calories to a 2,000-calorie diet. But in doing this it provides more than ten per cent of the essential nutrients your body needs on a daily basis. Whether you are having an early breakfast, healthy brunch or post workout meal, beef should be your meat of choice.

2.    Beef is a primary source of Iron. Your blood carries iron throughout the body to re-oxygenate muscles and tissue. Without iron you become sluggish and tired.

3.    Beef provides your body with essential vitamins like B12, B6, Niacin and Riboflavin. These vitamins are a major player in your body processing food and releasing the energy stored within.

4.    Beef provides your body with two essential minerals: Zinc and Phosphorous. Zinc is a major contributor to your immune system and Phosphorous helps strengthen your bones.

5.    There are many different cuts of beef. This keeps your taste buds happy and your stomach interested. Ever try eating the exact same food over and over again. It gets boring real quick and creates cravings that can be unhealthy. But beef has twelve different cuts that are leaner than a skinless chicken thigh. Not bad.

6.    In children beef is good for health because it provides a boost to cognitive function and red blood cell development. The perfect balance of protein, vitamin and minerals provides children with just what they need to grow, develop and excel in school.

7.    Beef may help prevent cancer. It contains Conjugated Linoleic Acid or CLA. CLA helps fight tumor growth and development. Plus it helps build a strong immune system.

8.    Beef helps develop lean muscle mass. Because it is high in protein and additional nutrients beef gives your body the building blocks it needs to grow strong, well-developed muscle.

9.    Beef sticks with you. Simple carbohydrates and sugars, the kind found in energy drinks, are burned off quickly leaving you tired and lethargic. Beef provides a long lasting and steady energy supply.

10.    Beef just tastes amazing. Filet Mignon, T-bone, New York Strip… Enough said.

The choice is simple. 

Whether you are looking for a T-Bone in Texas, a Filet in Australia, or the best steak in Hong Kong here at the Blue Butcher, beef should be your go-to choice. Whit it’s lean cuts, nutrient density and great taste it can’t be beat.
