The Benefits of Eating
Grass Fed Meats
Omega-3 Fatty Acid Content
That Compares To Wild Salmon
By
Mike Geary Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer
 Unless you've been hiding under a rock the last few years, you've no doubt
heard of the benefits of eating fish and other foods that contain omega-3
fatty acids.
Usually, you will hear about wild salmon having tons of omega-3 fatty acids,
but there is another meat you can find that contains similar amounts of
omega-3s? Not only does this other meat have the same amount of omega-3
fatty acids, it is free of some of the bad things that can be found in fish,
like mercury and other metals, or PCBs.
I have mentioned this meat before now, and explained that it is possibly the
healthiest meat you can consume... This meat is grass-fed beef, and any
other type of grass-fed animal, like venison, lamb, or buffalo.
Even though there are many people who believe that any type of meat is bad
for your health... they do have a point when it comes to much of the
farm-raised meats in which the animals are fed enormous amounts of grains
and soy in order to become larger, and are also treated with hormones and
antibiotics on a regular basis.
Think about it - the grass-fed animals are completely natural in the way
they eat, so they will be better for us! When you consume only grass-fed
meats, you will be provided with healthy, natural proteins as well as
healthy fats that most wouldn't think of.
We'll take a look at beef as an example... Farm raised cattle are given a
diet of soy and grain, and the meat of these animals transforms into meat
high in Omega-6 acids (that are consumed in excess already) and contain
smaller amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids (which are the good fats).
As a comparison, cattle who feed on their natural diet of grass have a
greater content of omega-3 fatty acids in their meat, and a smaller amount
of omega-6 fatty acids, which is much better for you. It has also been
proven that in grass-fed beef, the amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)
is higher than farm-raised beef, and this is beneficial for losing fat and
building muscle.
You need to know that only the CLA that is in its natural form, as in found
in grass-fed meats, is proven to lose fat and build muscle... don't fall for
the dietary supplement of CLA because it is created by humans.
You can also compare wild salmon to farm raised salmon to see the
significant difference. For the same reason that grass-fed beef is healthier
than farm-raised beef, wild salmon are healthier for you and higher in
omega-3 fatty acids because they are allowed to eat naturally. Exactly like
the farm-raised beef, the farm raised salmon are fed a
diet of soy and
grain, changing their good fat/bad fat content.
The truth is, you're going to have a difficult time finding grass-fed meats
in the grocery store. It's even hard to find grass-fed meats at health food
stores, even though you can find "organic" meat, which is only a little bit
better than the regular meat you find.
So one day I decided I wanted to find a great resource to buy grass-fed beef
and other grass-fed meats, so I found a wonderful website that sells many
different kinds...
http://healthygrassfed.2ya.com
Any type of meat you could imagine, they have... there's quality cuts of
beef, like filet mignon, ribeye steaks, hamburger, you can find grass-fed
buffalo, free range chicken and turkey, and even some kinds of grass-fed
cheeses.
The best part of all is that they'll shop everything to your house with no
cost... and when you compare the prices to what you find at your local
grocery store, they're pretty much the same.
Hear this now... I was so happy I could have did a little dance when I found
this site. I shopped and placed my order for all I wanted on Friday, the
site sent me a shipping notification email Monday, and I received my meat
order Tuesday, sealed in a cooler. The service you will receive from this
company is unbelievable.
Think of it this way, wouldn't you rather know for a fact that the meats you
are feeding your family are good for you instead of no knowing one way or
the other? This is the only place I will be buying my meat from.
Each item I ordered was wonderful... try these things out:
-
the grass-fed filet mignon was incredibly tender and absolutely delicious
-
grass-fed bison burgers and hamburgers were perfect for the quick meal, and
if you add some of the grass-fed cheese and put it all on a sprouted grain
roll, you've got the perfect healthy meal.
-
free-range chicken and turkey sausages are perfect for making breakfast or
any dish that calls for sausage
-
grass-fed cheeses and butter, which contain much higher levels of Omega-3
fatty acids than imitations
-
free-range turkeys, these would be wonderful for Thanksgiving or Easter,
when you need to feed a lot of people.
Not only are you going to be getting the healthiest possible food available,
you don't even have to get dressed up to go out and shop for it, you can
shop from the comfort of your own living room.
