Ten Benefits of Eating Beef
1. Beef is rich in sarcosine.
The content of sarcosine in beef is higher than that in any other food, which is 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 and make the training last longer.
2. Beef contains vitamin B6.
The greater the demand in protein, the more vitamin B6 will be added in the diet. Beef contains enough vitamin B6, which can help you enhance your immunity, promote the metabolism and synthesis of protein, and thus contribute to the recovery of your body after intense training.
3. Beef contains carnitine
The contents of carnitine and sarcosine in chicken and fish are very low, but beef is very high. Carnitine is mainly used to support fat metabolism and produce branched-chain amino acids, which plays an important role in bodybuilders' muscle growth.
4. Beef contains potassium and protein.
Potassium is a mineral that athletes lack in their diet. Low level of potassium will inhibit the synthesis of protein and the production of growth hormone, and affect muscle growth. Beef is rich in protein: 4 ounces of lean tenderloin produces 22 grams of first-class protein.
5. Beef is a low fat source of linoleic acid.
Beef is low in fat content, but rich in conjugated linoleic acid. Potential antioxidants 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.
6. Beef contains zinc and magnesium.
Zinc is an antioxidant that helps to synthesize protein and promote muscle growth. Zinc, glutamate and vitamin B6*** have the same function: it can strengthen the immune system. Magnesium can support the synthesis of protein, enhance muscle strength and, more importantly, improve the efficiency of insulin anabolism.
7. Beef contains iron
Iron, an essential mineral for hematopoiesis. In contrast to the meagre iron content in chicken, fish and turkey, beef is rich in iron.
8. Beef contains alanine.
The function of alanine is to produce sugar from protein in diet. Your intake of carbohydrates, alanine, is insufficient, which can supply muscles with energy to alleviate the deficiency and enable you to continue training. The biggest advantage of this amino acid is that it can liberate muscles from the burden of supplying energy.
9. Beef contains vitamin B 12.
Vitamin B 12 is very important for the production of cells. The function of red blood cells is to bring oxygen to muscle tissue. Vitamin B 12 can promote the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids and supply the body with energy needed for high-intensity training.
10. Edible diversification of beef
After eating it day after day for weeks or even months, chicken breasts look boring. Beef is different, hind leg meat, side belly meat, upper loin meat and thin meat slices are different in taste and taste, and the boring chicken breast is really different.
Identification method of fresh beef
Take a look and see if there are any red spots on the skin. No red spots are good meat, and those with red spots are bad meat. Look at the muscles, fresh meat is shiny, red is even, and inferior meat is slightly darker; Look at the fat, the fat of fresh meat is white or light yellow, the fat of inferior meat lacks luster, and the fat of deteriorated meat is green.
Second, fresh meat has a normal smell, while inferior meat has an ammonia or sour taste.
Three touches: first, feel elastic, fresh meat is elastic, and the depression immediately recovers after finger pressing, while the elasticity of inferior meat is poor, and the depression recovers slowly or even cannot recover after finger pressing, and the deteriorated meat is inelastic; Second, we should feel the viscosity. The surface of fresh meat is slightly dry or moist, and it does not stick to hands. The surface of sub-fresh meat is dry or sticky, and the new cut surface is wet and sticky. The deteriorated meat sticks to hands seriously, and the surface is extremely dry. However, some meat with serious water injection does not stick to hands at all, but it can be seen that the appearance is wet and not firm.
