Health Benefits Of Adding Grass Fed Beef And Pork To Your Diet

By Christopher Gibson


People are slowly becoming more aware and knowledgeable about they are eating. Food manufacturers are getting in on the act labelling everything they can as natural, lite, and organic. Consumers who are also meat eaters have choices then it comes to the kinds of animal products they choose. Many are opting to spend the extra money and choose grass fed beef and pork for its superior taste and the many health benefits associated with it.

Not everyone is clear about the difference between grain fed and grass fed cattle and hogs. Animals who are raised naturally in pastures and allowed to forage grow at a rate that nature intended. They are leaner because they are allowed to move about freely. It is more expensive to raise animals this way, and ranchers pass the costs on to consumers.

Animals on pure grain diets are almost exclusively raised in huge store houses called concentrated animal feeding operations. The sole purpose is to raise them as quickly as possible. These CAFO animals are injected every day with antibiotics to keep an epidemic of disease away from the crowded population. Producers inject the cattle and hogs with hormones designed to make them fat. CAFO livestock grow at a rate twice that of pasture raised animals.

You might lose some weight eating pasture raised cattle and hogs. These animals are leaner than those raised on grain. The crowded conditions of CAFOs cause stress in livestock and that results in high levels of cortisol. This makes the animal meat fattier. Dietitians estimate that people who eat organic meat save more than 16,000 calories every year.

Organic meat helps stabilize blood sugar levels. This can be critical for those with heart disease and diabetes. People who have low insulin sensitivity often end up taking insulation injections in order to regulate their insulation levels. Another benefit of making this choice is the level of CLA, a fatty acid, found in these meats. Scientists believe CLA helps maintain lean muscle mass and keep weight off.

CLA may help prevent cancers. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer in women with a diet rich in this nutrient. CLA is interesting because it's one of the few nutrients in meat found to reduce the risks of certain cancers. Meat from pasture raised livestock contains twice as much CLA as livestock raised on grain.

You will get six times the Omega 3 healthy fats from grass fed pork and beef as you will with the cattle and hogs raised on a diet of grains. Omega 3 fatty acids reduce the symptoms of depression and increase your ability to focus. It helps those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

It is important to understand what you are eating and where it came from. Choosing pasture raised pork and beef can be an expensive choice. It is also the healthiest.
