V. Mac's Beef Tips-May, 2005

Marshall Ryegrass-Nature's Real Wonder Grass

Did you know that beef has ZIP. It is an excellent source of Zinc, Iron, and Protein which are three important nutrients in keeping us healthy.

Zinc is a mineral important for attention, short-term memory and brain power. Lean beef is the best source of zinc.

Iron is a mineral important for strong blood, keeping oxygen to the cells. Low iron in our blood will make us tire easily. It is especially important for women to keep up their iron level. Lean beef is the best source of iron.

Protein is made up of about 20 amino acids and they are all needed to build muscle, repair and maintain the body. All but 9 of these amino acids can be made by the body ---- they are called the essential amino acids ---- lean beef contains all the essential amino acids (no single vegetable or fruit can make this claim!).

In summary, the natural way to staying healthy is to enjoy lean beef and replenish your ZIP.

Ps: Don’t forget the vitamin B12 and B6 (lean grass-fed beef is loaded with both.)
