Benefits of Eating Meat........They Do Exist!

Meat is magic. There, I said it. The cat is out of the bag and the cow is out on pasture. What I am trying to say, is that by simply making meat a part of your daily eating habit you can increase your health and meet your essential amino acid requirement. Therefore, benefits of eating meat can be directly related to the nutrients acquired through them. Take beef for example: Protein, zinc, vitamin B12, selenium, niacin, B₆, phosphorus, choline, iron, and riboflavin are all essential nutrients that can be obtained through beef. 

These nutrients not only improve body composition and facilitate weight loss, but they also improve weight maintenance following weight loss. One, in theory, should ask themselves, why would the media be used to keep its viewers from reaping the benefits of beef consumption? Today’s media has proven through it’s many forms of broadcasts that consumers can be negatively swayed if information is not presented as the whole truth. Therefore, with these blogs, it is my sincerest hope to present you with the whole truth through proof of the media’s falsehoods, the actual facts of the matter, and ways we can reverse the public’s skepticism of eating meat.

Protein:

The main benefits start and end with protein. Protein is a nutrient that is absolutely critical to keep your body functioning normally and healthily. The amino acids that are absorbed into the body after consumed through protein are essential to forming the proteins that aid in structure and support for the human body. Meat is a complete protein source that provides all the essential amino acids, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They also recommend you consume about "50 grams of protein daily."

Iron:

Meat is also an excellent source of iron. Which is a mineral required to support human life. Iron is incorporated into hemoglobin, the compound that is used to carry oxygen to all your cells. Your body also adds iron to myoglobin, "a compound that allows your muscle cells to use oxygen"; other iron-containing compounds support DNA production, immune function and the manufacture of some neurotransmitters. The recommended dietary allowance for iron is 8 milligrams per day for men and 18 milligrams for women under 50.

These are only a few of examples as to how meat can had a healthy benefit to the consumer's life if added to the diet!
