| In this article, I will talk a little about | | | | Vegetarian food sources are also missing a |
| one of the oldest food source in the world - | | | | very important vitamin - B12 - because only |
| meat! Meat has been eaten by mankind for | | | | meat, milk, cheese and eggs contains that |
| centuries, but today more and more people are | | | | vitamin!Protein consist of twenty amino |
| becoming vegetarians. Meat is still a very | | | | acids, and for your body to function |
| important food source as it mostly consist of | | | | optimally, it needs all those twenty amino |
| proteins - nearly 80% of any sort of meat is | | | | acids every single day! Every single |
| pure protein. Any function in the body needs | | | | movement in your body depends on protein - |
| protein - people simple cannot live without | | | | from a simple eye blink to complex hormone |
| it!Almost 28% of the protein people ingest | | | | production and water balance! The body |
| today comes from meat products. Meat is also | | | | itself can make a few amino acids but the |
| one of the best sources of vitamin A, D and | | | | rest has to come from the food we eat every |
| several B-vitamins as well as the minerals | | | | day - these are what we call "the essential |
| zinc, selenium and iron. Meat speeds up the | | | | amino acids". A full protein - which mean a |
| metabolism which makes it easier to lose fat | | | | protein that consists of all the twenty amino |
| and if you eat meat, you will feel full for | | | | acids, is a complex protein, and will be |
| longer than if you eat carbohydrates. That | | | | absorbed 100% by the body! Always go for the |
| is why meat is a very important food source | | | | lean meat like chicken, turkey and lean steak |
| in a fat loss program!Another good argument | | | | and always cut away the fat surrounding any |
| for eating meat/protein is that it will | | | | piece of meat, as animal fat is very bad for |
| stabilise blood sugar which means that the | | | | the body. As a matter of fact, all fat from |
| craving for sugar will be kept down to a | | | | animals is bad and all fat from almost any |
| minimum! Almost all the food we pull up from | | | | vegetable source is good - but that's another |
| the ground has all the nutrition we need - | | | | story and more on that issue in another |
| but vegetables contain far less protein and | | | | article!The bottom line is: Do not avoid meat |
| some of those have not nutritional value to | | | | - lean meat is very healthy - always has been |
| the body and therefore will not be absorbed. | | | | and always will be - period! |
