Perhaps you have heard a lot of negative information on the subject of red meat over the years. Many health conscious individuals will usually say something to the effect that red meat is too high in calories and fat; is too difficult to digest; and is loaded with chemical additives. Even some of the proponents of red meat will say that it is fine as long as you only eat red meat once a week and even then only to eat high cuts of meat such as fillet mignon.
Is all this criticism overstated? Honestly, much of the red meat that people commonly purchase is not exactly easy on the body. It has long since contributed to obesity and heart disease. However, much of this is due to the way the meat is processed. Thanks in large part to the great increase in organic food stores, many people are looking towards free range red meat as a source of beef. And guess what? Free range red meat is definitely something you will want to add to your diet since it has so many enormous benefits for your health.
What is free range meat?
Free range meat (whether it is beef or poultry) centers on raising the animals outside of the confines of a cage. This greatly increases the quality of life and eliminates many of the negative effects that caged pens cause to the animals. Additionally, the cattle that is raised in a free range manner are not loaded with the antibiotics, growth hormones, and other common processed chemicals that are injected to the animals. Even the feed provided to free range cattle is of a higher quality. This leads to the development of a healthier harvesting of the cattle which, in turn, leads to healthier food sources for those humans that ingest it.
