The Benefits Of Good Quality Ground Beef
Good quality ground beef is a cost effective way for all the family to :
- Boost key nutrients
- Avoid dodgy additives.
Key Nutrients In Ground Beef
Ground beef is rich in essential nutrients that many of us are seriously short on including :
- Iron
- Zinc
- Vitamin A
- B2 (Riboflavin)
- B3 (Niacin)
- B6
- B9 (Folate)
- B12
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Copper
- Phosphorous
- Selenium
- Omega 3 fats
Shortfalls in these nutrients e.g. iron deficiency can be the underlying cause of all sorts of health problems from fatigue, depression, headaches and acne to thyroid problems.
The nutrients are typically much higher in genuinely grass fed beef and the meat is additive free.
Grass Fed Beef
Nutrients in grass fed cattle roaming land with great quality soil can be 3 times higher than those in grain fed animals on industrial farms.
Better soil means better beef!
Great grass fed ground beef can also be bought free from :
- Growth hormones
- Pesticide & herbicide exposure
- Unnecessary antibiotics.
All 3 of these can be tied to the numerous gut related health problems so many of us and our loved ones suffer from these days.
So it is worth buying the best grass-feed ground beef we can at the store or in freezer boxes from independent farmers (UK) who are regenerating their soil e.g. White Oak Pastures.
