WHY GRASS FED BEEF IS BETTER FOR YOU Optimoz - BULLETPROOF .com.au Optimal Wellness | Peak Human Performance Grain feeding or finishing is common practice to fatten up cattle before slaughter. All Australian cattle eat their natural pasture diet at some stage during their lifetime. BUT GRASS FED/FINISHED BEEF HAS A MORE FAVOURABLE OMEGA (w) 6:3 RATIO. A healthy diet should consist of roughly 1-4 times more w-6 fatty acids than w-3 fatty acids (FA). w-3 w-6 A typical western diet contains 11-30 times more w-6 than w-3 and w-3 potentially contributes to inflammatory disorders/diseases. w-6 JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED. OMEGA (W) 3S "More Grass fed & finished beef shows a omega 3 fatty acid content." consistently higher concentration of w-3 FAS, thereby creating a more favourable w-6:3 ratio.

It takes approximately 26 days to archieve the maximum CLA and omega-3 in BUTTER OIL after cows are turned out to pasture. The CLA and Omega-3 in milk fat were back to the original level within 7 days after cows were off the pasture & fed grain diet. Reference Aguiar, G., T. R. Dhiman, A. L. Une, S. F. Porter, and L. L.

VITAMIN A VITAMIN E Vitamin A is an essential vitamin required for vision, gene transcription, boosting immune function & skin health. Vitamin E protects cells against the effects of free radicals that may contribute to chronic disease. Pasture fed & finished steers incorporate 7X more beta carotene into muscle tissues as compared to grain-fed animals. Cattle finished on pasture produce 4X more Vit E in the final meat product than cattle fed high grain/ concentrate diets.

Grass only diets improve the SOD/CAT antioxidant concentration Because GT compounds are elevated in lush green forages, Grass fed & finished beef is particularly high in GT as compared to grain-fed contemporaries. in beef, protecting the muscle lipids against oxidation as well as providing you with an additional source of antioxidants.
