Health Benefits : Beef & Lamb

[mysteriouza]

Although supplies of these healthier meats are still very small, there is a growing supply, to meet the rising demand.
Beef and lamb produced this way is much lower in fat than meat from intensively reared livestock, which can contain up to 30% fat, most of it highly saturated.
And it is free of he cocktail chemicals with which most beef and lamb is normally laced, hormones, growth accelerators, and accumulated residue of pesticides to which the livestock has certainly been exposed.

Beef and lamb free of these nasties, and of resulting problems such as BSE, are excellent sources of two vital minerals, iron and zinc of protein and of many B-complex vitamins.
However, red meat protein should be an occasional treat rather than a regular feature of your menu, ear it once or twice a week at most.
And those with health problems are often best advised to avoid it altogether.
