Know little about beef
Beef (pinyin: niú rê u) refers to the meat obtained from cattle and is one of the common meats. Sources can be cows, bulls and heifers. The muscle part of cattle can be cut into steak, beef pieces or beef bones, and can also be mixed with other meats to make sausages or blood sausages. Other edible parts include ox tail, ox liver, ox tongue, ox louver, ox pancreas, ox thymus, ox heart, ox brain, ox kidney and ox whip. Cattle intestines can also be eaten, but they are often used to make sausage coats. Cattle bone can be used as feed.
The meat quality of steer and heifer is similar, but steer has less fat. Old cows and bulls have thick and hard meat, which is often used to make ground beef. Beef cattle generally need to be fattened and fed with grains, dietary fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals.

Do men often eat beef?
1. Beef is low in fat, but rich in conjugated linoleic acid. These potential antioxidants can effectively resist tissue damage caused by weightlifting and other sports. Linoleic acid can also be used as an antioxidant to maintain muscle mass.
2. The content of sarcosine in beef is higher than any other food, which makes it especially effective for muscle growth and strength enhancement. In the first few seconds of training, sarcosine is the source of muscle fuel, which can effectively supplement adenosine triphosphate, thus making the training last longer.
3. Beef contains enough vitamin B6, which can help men enhance their immunity and promote the metabolism and synthesis of protein, thus contributing to the recovery of the body after intense training.
The content of carnitine in beef is very high. Carnitine can support the metabolism of fat and produce branched-chain amino acids, which play an important role in the muscle growth of bodybuilders.
5. Iron is an essential mineral for hematopoiesis. In contrast to the low iron content in chicken, fish and turkey, beef is rich in iron.
6. Beef is rich in alanine, which can supply the energy needed by muscles to alleviate the deficiency and allow men to continue training.
7. Potassium rich in beef is a mineral lacking in men's diet, which can promote the synthesis of protein and the production of growth hormone, thus affecting muscle growth.
