The Leanest Beef on the Market is Grass Fed

The meat from grass fed cattle is better for your health than conventional grain fed cattle. It is significantly lower in fat than grain fed cattle, by as much as 50% - about the same as skinless chicken. Meat this lean lowers your LDL cholesterol levels.

Lean, grass fed meat is also lower in calories. If you eat a typical amount of beef (66 ½ pounds according to the University of California) switching to grass fed beef will save you close to 18,000 calories a year! That’s about 6 pounds a year with no willpower required! Grass fed beef is higher in vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids than conventional, grain fed beef.

Vitamin E and omega-3 play a vital role in lowering the risk of heart disease and reducing high blood pressure. They are “heart friendly”! Omega-3 is also essential for your brain, lessening the chances of depression, attention deficit disorder and Alzheimer’s. And finally, omega-3 may reduce your risk of cancer.
