Zinc, Iron, protein and B-Vitamins. Too much beef may not healthy, but moderate amount consumption is okay. I have no source to prove my POV, but this how I put beef in my diet.

Most of the strong nations consume a considerable amount of beef!

"World Consumption of Sheep and Goat Meat

There is a widely-publicized myth that goat meat (chevon) is the most widely-consumed meat in the world. It is not. In fact, it is mathematically impossible, given the number of goats in the world and the yield of an individual goat. Even if you increased world goat population figures by 10-fold, it is still impossible."

Never had beef in my life as we don't eat it in our house hold, for red meat we mostly eat mutton (goat). And all of us have been reasonably healthy ,intelligent and strong in our lives.

After getting married I had put husband on the same regime who had cholesterol and BP issues but AH they are gone now.

Medically, there is no prof that beef is un-healthy. From caloric point of view, the list goes as following in descending order;

  1. Beef
  2. Mutton
  3. Chicken
  4. Fish

By the way, people having certain ailments like Ischaemic Heart Disease, Diabetes, Kidney Failure, Liver Disease and Gouts etc are advised to be careful and consume less of Red meat (beef/mutton) and more of White Meat (chicken/fish). It is because of the fact that red meat is richer in protein content, which in turn is composed of nitrogenous compounds, which in turn may not be too beneficial for such patients.

It's fine in moderation. It's a great source of iron and protein. Just make sure that you are not eating it more than 3 times a week, and that the meat you are eating is lean.

Re: Is Beef good for health?

I eat only chicken. I think in moderation it should be ok like anything else.

Re: Is Beef good for health?

The beef is always good for health but you should avoid to use it excessively. As the use of beef and unhygienic food can cause you many diseases so if you want to be healthy and safe then avoid these oily and unhygienic things.

Some red meat is not good for the health. The saturated fats in meat can cause high cholesterol levels which increase the risk of heart attack. Though they are high in protein, another key nutrient in beef is zinc. You need sufficient amounts in your daily diet because it helps support a healthy and strong immune system and also contributes to injury healing.
