Did you know that red meat can be included as part of a healthy diet? Thanks to Texas Longhorns, today\u2019s health-conscious consumer doesn\u2019t have to avoid tender, juicy steaks. Longhorn beef is leaner than other breeds and is lower in saturated fats. Packed full of flavor, Longhorn beef has less cholesterol and calories than white meat. Including lean beef in a heart-healthy diet can positively impact blood cholesterol levels. Studies have shown that eating lean beef can help increase \u2018good\u2019 cholesterol and reduce \u2018bad\u2019 cholesterol in people with elevated cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n

Beef is the best source of protein, zinc and Vitamin B12 and is the third best source of iron in the food supply. Beef is also a good source of selenium, which may reduce the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer (such as prostate) as well as enhance the body\u2019s ability to fight infections. That\u2019s definitely good news for carnivores who crave a healthy lifestyle!<\/p>\n

\u201cLean beef is good for you \u2013 and the key word is lean. A heart patient can eat steak every meal if it is in the right proportions. Longhorn meat, on average, contains 10 percent less saturated fat than that of other cattle. That puts lean Longhorn beef on par with skinned boneless white meat of chicken and that fact may come as a surprise to many dieticians.\u201d -Dr. Joseph Graham, Cardiovascular Surgeon at St. John\u2019s Medical Center in Joplin, Missouri, and a Longhorn breeder himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
