Why Grass-Fed Beef Is So Much Healthier For You

I know you've heard all of the noise over the last few years about the health benefits of wild salmon and other fish that have elevated levels of omega-3 fatty acids.

However, did you know that there's a "land meat" that has similar omega-3/omega-6 ratios as wild salmon? In reality, this "land meat" not only contains as much, or even elevated levels of omega-3 fatty acids, but lacking the possible negatives such as strong metals (mercury, etc) and PCBs that can be found in fish frequently.

I've talked about this kind of meat before and how it's one of the healthiest forms of meat you can eat... It's grass-fed beef and other grass-fed ruminant meats such as bison, buffalo, veal, and lamb.

Now I know that a lot of people will try to sway you that meat is not good for you... and to be frank I somewhat concur with them when it comes to your classic usual factory farm-raised meat where the animals are fattened up with gigantic quantities of grains & soy that are not their actual diet & given unhealthy doses of hormones, antibiotics, etc.

However, when animals are healthy and eat the diet they were destined to eat genuinely, the meat is actually healthy for us.

Let's take beef for example... When cattle eat generally grain and soy, the fat composition of their meat becomes elevated in inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids and slash in beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.

On the other hand, when cattle eat generally grass instead of grains/soy, their meat becomes elevated in omega-3s and slash in omega-6 fatty acids. In addition, grass-fed beef also contains elevated levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has exposed some capable benefits in studies for reducing body fat and gaining lean muscle mass.

A similar comparison can be made between wild salmon and farm raised salmon. Wild salmon is a healthier choice rather than farm raised salmon and has elevated levels of omega-3s because the wild salmon eat what they're expected to eat in the wild. On the other hand, farm raised salmon are fattened up unnaturally with grain/soy based food pellets which detrimentally changes the salmon's fat ratio of omega-6 to omega-3.

The drawback is that it is VERY hard to find healthy grass fed meats in your typical grocery stores. In reality, even at health food stores, you might find some "organic" meats (which is at least a little better than average), but it is commonly hard to find any real grass-fed meats.

Well, about 2 weeks ago, I did some searching and found a great website that sells all kinds of varieties of grass-fed beef and other healthy grass fed meats...

/healthygrassfed.2ya.com/>

They have everything you could ever want... grass-fed burgers, filet mignon & any other quality beef cuts, grass-fed buffalo, grass-fed cheeses, and even free-range chicken and turkey!

And better yet, they dispense it right to your house with no shipping costs... and I actually found that the prices were comparable to what I generally pay at the grocery store.

I'll tell ya... I was like a kid in a candy store when I found this place. I placed my order for all kinds of goodies on a friday, I got a shipping notification email that Monday, and my delivery came right to my door the very next day in a sealed cooler... I couldn't believe the service I got from this company.

Wouldn't it give you peace of mind to know that you and your family are consuming meat that is actually good for you instead of the mass produced garbage at most grocery stores? I know I'm getting most of my meat from them from now on.

Everything in my order ended up being delicious... here's my recommendations:

*the grass-fed filet mignons (delicious and tender!)
*grass-fed burgers and bison burgers when I need a quick but healthy 5-minute meal (use some grass-fed cheese and sprouted grain spin for the ultimate balanced meal)
*the free-range chicken and turkey sausages (makes great italian dishes or healthier breakfast sausage)
*grass-fed cheese and butter (elevated in CLA and omega-3 than your usual butter or cheese)
*they even have free-rangee turkey available for Thanksgiving, Christmas or any other time of year.(you won't find free-rangee turkeys in stores)

Plus, besides getting much healthier meat than you'd ever find in the store, another benefit to this website was that it was like doing your grocery shopping from home, instead of fighting the crowds at the store.

Well, they got me hooked.
