health benefits of 100% grass-fed beef

2/5/2019

7 Comments

 
Differing from grain-fed beef in several ways, grass-fed beef has:
  • A higher antioxidant content, including glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase
  • Fat that is more yellow in color, indicating higher amounts of carotenoid antioxidants
  • Higher amounts of fat-soluble vitamin A and E (especially when pasture-raised)
  • Lower amounts of fat.
  • A healthier fatty acid profile.
  • Higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids
  • Much less monounsaturated fat 
  • Up to five times as much omega-3 
  • Two to three times as more CLA, conjugated linoleic acid. Beef is one of the best dietary sources of CLA
Beef is similar to plants in that it contains certain health-promoting antioxidants, including glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase. These compounds help scavenge free radicals and fight against oxidative stress.
Beef contains Oleic acid, the same “heart-healthy” fatty acid in olive oil
Beef contains the highest amounts of Coenzyme Q10
Beef is one of the most complete dietary sources of protein, the amino acid profile being almost identical to that of our own muscles, containing all 8 essential amino acids needed for the growth and maintenance of our bodies. It also contains Carnosine, a dipeptide important for muscle function
Beef is an excellent source of various vitamins and minerals. These include vitamin B12, zinc, selenium, iron, niacin, and vitamin B6.
  • Vitamin B12: Animal-derived foods, such as beef, are the only dietary sources of vitamin B12, an essential nutrient that is important for blood formation and the function of the brain and nervous system.
  • Zinc: Beef is very rich in zinc, a mineral that is important for body growth and maintenance.
  • Beef is rich in selenium and iron
 
Beef contains contains a number of bioactive substances, such as creatine and taurine

It's interesting that you mention that grass-fed beef is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. I've been looking for a way to add more omega-3 to my diet, so I'm considering buying some grass-fed meat from a butcher. I'm going to search for a reputable butcher in my area that sells grass-fed beef.

Wow, I had no idea that beef gives out several health benefits, such as antioxidants and minerals that helps your body grow. My friend wants to introduce a diet to his son that does taekwondo. He should consider looking into ground beef recipes as a start!

My mom has been thinking about eating some more beef that was fed grass because she thinks that they can be a lot healthier. She would really like to get some help from a professional to make sure that they were raised properly. I liked what you said about how it can reduce her oxidative stress because they have antioxidants, glutathione, dismutase, and catalase.

I had no idea that grass-fed beef has a higher amount of antioxidents. I'd like to get my hands on some beef like that. Maybe I can get some online.

It was fascinating to know that beef is one of the most full dietary providers of protein. This got me thinking to have beef for dinner. I better visit a middle eastern food market to buy quality meats.
