Beef is the second largest meat after pork. It is loved by people because of its high protein content. So what are the benefits of eating beef? Let's take a look together!
What are the benefits of beef
1. Beef contains vitamin B6. The greater the protein requirement, the more vitamin B6 should be added to the diet.
Beef contains enough vitamin B6, which can help enhance immunity, promote protein metabolism and synthesis, and thus assist in the recovery of the body after intense training.
2. Beef contains carnitine, while chicken and fish have low levels of carnitine. Carnitine plays an important role in supporting fat metabolism and producing branched-chain amino acids, which are important for muscle growth in bodybuilders.
3. Beef is a low-fat source of linoleic acid. Although beef has low fat content, it is rich in linoleic acid, which is an antioxidant that can effectively combat tissue damage caused by weightlifting and other sports.
In addition, linoleic acid can also be used as an antioxidant to maintain muscle mass.
4. Beef contains iron, which is an essential mineral for blood production. Compared to the meager iron content in chicken, fish, and turkey, beef is rich in iron.
5. Beef contains vitamin B12, which is crucial for cell production, and red blood cells play a role in delivering oxygen to muscle tissue.
Vitamin B12 can promote the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids, thereby supplying the energy needed for high-intensity training.
