Beef can provide the body with protein and other nutrients when consumed regularly and in moderation, but it should not be consumed in excess, as this can lead to indigestion and other adverse effects.
Beef is rich in nutrients and is a common food on the dinner table. It is also highly malleable and can be combined with tomatoes, onions, potatoes and other foods to increase food variety.
Each 100 grams of beef (lean) contains 106 calories, of which 20.2 grams of protein, 1.2 grams of carbohydrates, 2.3 grams of fat, 6 micrograms of vitamin A, 0.35 milligrams of vitamin E, 284 milligrams of potassium, 9 milligrams of calcium and 3.71 milligrams of zinc.
Moderate consumption of beef can provide the body with numerous nutrients. In particular, beef is rich in protein, containing eight essential amino acids, is a high-quality animal protein, after cooking can provide protein for all types of people.
However, as a red meat, beef is not recommended for overconsumption. Long-term overconsumption of red meat, such as beef, will increase the likelihood of hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia and a host of other diseases.
Meanwhile, red meat is classified by the United Nations Agency for Research on Cancer (UNARC) as a class 2A carcinogen, which may increase the risk of digestive tract tumors such as pancreatic cancer and rectal cancer, so it is necessary to appropriately control the amount of its intake, and those who are allergic to beef should not consume beef.
