GRASS FED BEEF - IS IT HEALTHIER THAN YOU THINK?

BY MICHAEL RANCHER

Not all beef that we consume is the same. This fact is nothing new as you might have

already heard about supermarket quality meat versus grass fed beef. To most people beef

is just beef and there is nothing vastly different about the meat. But in reality, grass fed

beef offers many health benefits that you wouldn't find from regular beef sold in the

supermarkets.

The main difference between grass-fed beef and regular beef is the nutritional content.

The food industry's purpose is to make a profit and in an effort to mass produce beef for

consumers, proper care of cattle is often ignored. This compromises the quality of the beef

and this has a direct impact on your health. In fact, did you know that most of the beef cuts

that you find in the market today, even the organically grown ones (those fed by grains),

contain high fat content that ranges from 35-75%?

Grass-fed beef on the other hand is harder to grow and more expensive to produce but

unlike industrially raised cattle, it is full of nutritional quality. This is achieved through the

combination of high-protein low starch diet, daily exercise and clean water. The beef

produced by this method is not only leaner but tends to have this deep, distinctive, earthly,

beefy flavor that commercial grade beef can never compare to. In terms of nutritional

value, grass fed beef is far more superior. Grass fed beef contains a high percentage

values of omega-3, Conjugated Linoleic Acid (a proven cancer fighter), Vitamins A and E,

branch chain amino acids, as well as antioxidants. 2

Health conscious individuals following certain diets like the Paleo or the Caveman diet for

example, favor grass fed beef because of its health and nutritional benefits. Those who are

aiming to lose weight can benefit from eating grass fed beef as well. With lower calorie

content, high ratio of good fats to bad fats, and balanced nutrients, it is a much better

choice than regular beef.

People who want to build muscle and are into body building will also benefit from grass fed

beef. This is an excellent source of protein and amino acids which all body builders need.

It's also a great alternative to chicken breast. Many body builders avoid beef because of

the high fat content so adding grass fed beef can help them achieve their dietary goals.

So far the only downside of grass fed beef and the one thing that's preventing people from

buying is the price. It is a bit more expensive as compared to your regular beef. Also

depending on your location, you may find It a bit difficult to purchase them. But if this is the

problem, you can buy from online stores. Yes, the price may be more expensive and it

may be more difficult to find. But if you value your health and want to enjoy beef without

feeling guilty, this is a great option.

The Caveman Diet, also called the Paleo Diet, is based on traditional food that humans

are supposed to eat. Grass fed beef, organic fruit and vegetables, and nuts and seeds are

the basis of this diet. Many people experience dramatic health benefits, including weight

loss, from eating traditional these foods.
