With industrialization and intensive agriculture, that has changed. The animals are confined in small spaces, never to see daylight and by-products and hazardous waste feed and growth hormones and antibiotics. Meat from conventionally bred animals do not have many nutrients in grass-fed meat or "pasture".
Cows and chickens "happy"
The grass-fed meat and chicken only allowed cows live outside, the sun and enjoy their natural diet of grass, plants and insects. Because grazing animals are given their natural diet, stay healthy and rarely need antibiotics to treat infections. Chickens are often protected from predators that live outdoors during the day in the large mobile space, so that they graze freely on the lawn.
This is in stark contrast to the conventionally bred animals, unethical confined in overcrowded conditions. These animals are chicken manure, sawdust, cheap candy and genetically modified grains. Growth hormones and antibiotics given periodically.
The health benefits of grass-fed meat
Profiles 100% grass-fed animal fat similar to the salmon are. Grazing beef has the following health benefits:
- Higher in beta-carotene
- Higher vitamin E
- Improvement in the ratio of omega-6 fatty acids and omega-3 ratio
- High content of total acids 3
- B-vitamins thiamin superior (B1) and riboflavin (B2)
- Increasing amounts of minerals calcium, magnesium and potassium,
- Larger amounts of conjugated linoleic acid
- Increased vaccenic
A study by the California State University found that cattle grazing contained seven times the amount of beta-carotene compared to grain-fed animals. Beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A, is an important fat-soluble vitamin, the. For bone growth, reproduction, vision and the immune function
Vitamin E levels are four times higher in grass-fed cattle conventionally raised cows. Vitamin E in a reduced risk of heart disease and cancer.
Vitamins B1 and B2 support energy assistance, nerves, muscles and heart function for the body. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium helps maintain strong bones, while supporting the nerves, muscles and blood flow. Potassium is important to maintain a good electrolyte balance and reduces the risk of high blood pressure.
Most Americans an imbalance of omega-3 fatty acids, Omega-sixth Grass fed meat help balance this with its high content of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for heart health and the prevention of cancer and autoimmune diseases.
Reduce the conjugated linoleic acid cancer, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and insulin resistance.
Vaccenic acid is a major trans-fatty acids occur naturally in ruminants. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that vaccenic acid protects against atherosclerosis, a risk factor for heart disease known. Vaccenic acid is not the same as synthetic trans fats present in most vegetable oils traded dangerous.
Grazing chicken is healthier than conventionally grown chickens. To higher levels of vitamin A and omega-3 fatty acids have pastured chickens found.
Advantage of small businesses
The small farm is still there, a perfect ecosystem will be used cow manure to fertilize plants and homegrown vegetables. However, cow manure and chemicals from factory farms pollute rivers and destroy the environment.
Conclusions
When choosing what to buy meat, think grass-fed meats, comes the health of humans, animals and the earth benefit.
