Dr. Shen Yonghua
Benefits of moderate beef consumption:
1. Promotes muscle growth and repair: The high-quality protein in beef is important for muscle growth and repair.
2. Boosts immune function: Beef is rich in zinc, a mineral that plays a crucial role in maintaining normal immune function and helping the body fight off diseases.
3. Prevents anemia: Beef contains heme iron, a form of iron that is more easily absorbed and utilized by the body, helping to prevent iron-deficiency anemia.
4. Supports brain health: Beef is a good source of vitamin B12, which is essential for nervous system health and brain function, and may help improve memory and cognitive abilities.
Special populations such as those with excessive internal heat, liver disease, or kidney disease are advised to consume beef in moderation under medical guidance.
