🥩If you eat beef, you might want to consider making sure it comes from grass-fed cows!
A few highlights:
✅Grass-fed beef offers up to 5x the amount of omega-3 fatty acids as conventionally raised beef.
✅It’s also higher in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a type of fat that appears to be linked with a lower incidence of some chronic diseases.
✅Plus, it’s higher in vitamins A, E, and antioxidants compared to beef from cows that were fed grain.
✅You can buy grass-fed beef in most supermarkets … but a nearby farmer’s market/local butcher can help you to find a great local source.
✅Because grass-fed is a little leaner than grain-fed beef, cook it at a lower temperature for a shorter time to avoid damaging the omega-3s.
