For a while now, we’ve been told to limit red meat, but that’s a very narrow and uneducated view. There’s a lot of mixed information out there. Beef is actually……
- Protein rich and low carb
- Nutrient dense and loaded with key vitamins and minerals
- Contains all 9 essential amino acids the body needs
- A good source of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant
Several well known physicians, including Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Ken D Berry, embrace a diet rich in beef, especially in the fight against cancer. My holistic therapist is constantly promoting a more Keto lifestyle as part of a healing protocol with cancer, and here’s why:
Protein is essential and while you can get protein from other sources, high quality beef is the most nutrient dense source. Quality beef is loaded with vitamins and minerals. In fact, beef is the best natural source of vitamin B12. Beef is a good source of vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, and K—as well as essential minerals, including zinc, selenium, phosphorus, iron, copper, potassium, and magnesium.
The key is to avoid any antibiotics and hormones, not ever! Insist on pasture raised and grass fed. Russ and I choose only USDA Prime beef that is raised here in the US from a source that we know and trust. So while we believe in juicing and eating lots of great fruits and veggies, grilled fish, we eat high quality beef a few times a week.
