To Feed Your Body and Soul: 9 Reasons to Eat Grassfed Beef

Grassfed beef is a healthy choice for many reasons. It is better for the environment, it has fewer calories and fat, and it tastes amazing! Grass finished beef has less cholesterol than grain finished beef, too. This blog post will explore 9 reasons that you should be eating only grassfed or grass finished beef - to feed your body and soul!


To begin with, grassfed beef is better for the environment. The cows are raised on wide-open fields that have not been over farmed or harvested because there are no crops to grow yet. They do not require as many resources like fuel and water to produce. Therefore, it has less of an impact on climate change than other types of meat production requiring more energy use - including grain-finished beef! Grassfeed does not pollute our waterways either since they don't contaminate them with their waste which can transfer heavy metals into the soil if it isn't properly taken care of by farmers growing crops nearby. This also means cleaner air for us too! Why eat grassfed beef? There are many reasons to make the switch from grain-finished beef to grassfed. Here are 9 of them!

  • Grassfed cows produce meat that contains more healthy omega 3s, CLA, and other good fats.
  • Grassfed beef is higher in beta carotene, vitamin E, and a number of other nutrients that help protect against cancer.
  • It is lower in unhealthy saturated fat and higher in healthy unsaturated fat like omega-three fatty acids.
  • It lowers our cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of heart disease by providing us with more beneficial nutrients such as B vitamins, beta carotene, and vitamin E.
  • Grassfed beef contains amino acids that boost serotonin production which boosts your moods!
  • Grassfed beef tastes better than grain finished too! There's nothing like a juicy grassfed steak on the grill or roasting slowly for hours to make some amazing stew meat.
  • Grassfed beef is nutrient-dense providing more nutrients per gram of food than just about any other type of meat.
  • Grain-finished beef have been shown to be less healthy overall than those finished on pasture.
  • Research shows that eating grassfed meats can help protect against diabetes by providing us with more beneficial nutrients.

Conclusion

The cows don't have to use their precious resources feeding off corn or soybeans like they would if they were confined in a feedlot--instead they eat what nature intended them to eat! Eating grass fed meats will ensure that you're giving your body what it needs to stay healthy while allowing you some peace of mind knowing that you are making an investment that will last far beyond your car's warranty period. When you feed your body the best, it will reward you with better health. Grass finished beef is one of those foods that can do just that. It has been shown to have more Omega-3s and Vitamin E than grain-finished beef which means a healthier heart, lower cholesterol levels, less inflammation in the body, and improved immune system, and decreased risk for cancer.
