Nutrients in Red Meat are important for health

March 12, 2011

See " Myths & Truths About Beef " for the unique important nutrients found in red

meat - see the section Is beef good for you?

" Red meat provides complete protein, including sulphur-containing proteins like

cysteine. Note: Sulphur is one of the 7 most important minerals that is very

necessary for detoxification, which is also high in eggs.

Beef is a wonderful source of taurine and carnitine, needed for healthy eyes and

a healthy heart. Beef also provides another key nutrient for the cardiovascular

system called Co-Enzyme Q10.

Beef is an excellent source of minerals like magnesium and zinc. Zinc is

necessary for clear thinking and a healthy sex life. The fuzzy-headedness

vegetarians mistake for heightened consciousness is really the fog of zinc

deficiency.

Vitamin B6 and B12 are abundant in meat, and red meat is one of the best sources

of vitamin B12, which is vital to a healthy nervous system and healthy blood.

Vegetarians are especially prone to vitamin B12 deficiency since it isn't found

in any carbs (plant foods).

One of the first signs of vitamin B12 deficiency is a tendency to irrational

anger; so much for vegetarian claims that we will have a more peaceful,

harmonious world if we all stop eating meat.

If you use the animal bones and hooves to make mineral-rich bone broths or stock

and add it to soup, stew or sauces, as our ancestors did, you will get plenty of

nutrients needed for healthy bones, connective tissues, cartilage, tendon, etc.

Red meat, like all other wonderful healing foods, help your body create healing

and detoxifying reactions because of the important nutrients they contain, and

that is a good thing!

When your reactions are intolerable, consume less beef at a time, and gradually

increase it - see Healing Foods, Herbs & Spices Create Healing Reactions:

But also remember that all of the nutrients (diet plus supplements) work

together on this program.

The best in health, Bee
