Beef is warm in nature and can easily cause internal heat if eaten too much. It is not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach or those with yin deficiency and excessive fire. In order to prevent getting angry after eating beef, beef can be paired with some cold vegetables, such as tofu, cabbage, winter melon, cucumber, bitter melon, tomatoes, bamboo shoots, kelp, lotus root, mushrooms and wild rice.

1. Beef is rich in sarcosine: The content of sarcosine in beef is higher than that of any other food. It is particularly effective in growing muscles and enhancing strength. In the first few seconds of training, sarcosine is the source of muscle fuel, effectively supplementing adenosine triphosphate so that training can last longer.

2. Beef contains vitamin B6: The greater the protein demand, the more vitamin B6 is added to the diet. Beef contains enough vitamin B6, which can help you strengthen your immunity, promote protein metabolism and synthesis, and thus help the body recover after intense training.

3. Beef contains carnitine: The content of carnitine and sarcosine in chicken and fish is very low, but that in beef is very high. Carnitine is mainly used to support fat metabolism and produce branched-chain amino acids, which is an amino acid that plays an important role in muscle growth for bodybuilders.

4. Beef contains potassium and protein: Potassium is a mineral that is relatively lacking in athletes’ diets. Low potassium levels inhibit protein synthesis and growth hormone production, affecting muscle growth. Beef is rich in protein: 4 ounces of lean tenderloin yields 22 grams of top-notch protein.
