Choose Your Beef Wisely

When examining the health effects of beef, it’s important to realize that not all beef is created equal. Try to steer clear of processed beef and opt for organic grass-fed beef. It’s healthier to avoid factory-raised beef that was grain-fed and given growth-promoting hormones.
Beef contains many health-promoting nutrients that we need in our diet.  Like any food though, balance is key. Enjoy beef regularly but maintain balance to keep it healthy. Overall, it’s one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the human diet and it’s so delicious too!
