Some Information On Organic Beef And Pork

By Cynthia White


Nowadays there is a very big move to eat healthy. Many health problems can be traced to the kinds of food we eat, especially nowadays that most foods are processed and contain a lot of preservatives. Thus a new kind of food is coming out called organic food, which are food that are raised and grown without the use of artificial inputs. This also is true of organic beef and pork which is made from grass fed and natural fed cows and pigs.

One characteristic of organics are that they are expensive and sometimes almost twice the price of regular food. This in a way makes them unattractive to the regular consumer who is not educated on their benefits. This article is to shed more light on the benefits of this kind of food. After reading this article hopefully you will appreciate organic foods a bit more, despite of the high price they fetch in the market.

First of all these meats have very low fat content as compared to regular meats. This is the result of the animals being grass fed, and the absence of course of industrial fatteners and additives that are present in commercial farms. The meat therefore is as lean as you can get it and is great if you are watching your fat intake.

Lower calories is also expected from this kind of meat because lesser fat does also mean lesser calories. Thus if you want to maintain a lover calorie diet so as to lose fat then definitely again, this meat is for you. The lower calorie content also will mean you can have larger portions and get fuller per meal, but with much lesser chance of getting fat.

Organic meats also have another plus, in that they do contain a lot of antioxidants, vitamins and also omega 3. This ensure that you will have lower cholesterol levels, have plenty of energy after consumption and also have a bit left over to fight the ageing process.

Pork and beef that is raised organically does have a better taste. This is because grass-fed and range raised animals have more iodine their diets due to the natural grasses. Industrial feeds given to regular animals contain seventy five percent less iodine than natural grasses and such. Iodine is a major component also of salt, so just to give you an idea of how it can be used to make something tastier.

Those who have a fear of getting celiac disease will be happy to know that these are also gluten free. Gluten is a natural irritant found in foods which can give you a whole mess load of stomach disorders, especially if you are getting on in age and your stomach is lesser attuned to processed foods and such. Lesser gluten also makes it easier to digest and so you will not have any bouts of constipation.

Antibiotic free is also what you get with this kind of meat. Many animals nowadays are given antibiotics as a prevention against many diseases. Range animals from where organic meats come from are not given antibiotics under strict regulations, so you can expect the food made from these animals to be very safe and very healthy.
