Thanks to our friends at the American Grassfed Association, we can share some fascinating facts with you about the health benefits of grass fed beef.

Lower in calories, grass fed beef is great for burning fat. By excluding corn and genetically modified feed supplements in production, our grass fed beef offers 100% bio available proteins that can be easily absorbed and used for repairing and building muscle, fueling your body’s natural fat burning engine and supporting the balanced reception of Leptin (The hormone that tells your body to burn fat). This creates a sustainable source of energy in your diet invigorating you instead of lulling you to sleep after a big meal.

With much higher concentrations of “good” Omega-3 Fatty Acids, grass fed beef is heart friendly. In fact, 60% of the fat in grass fed beef is made up of an Omega-3 known as LNA or alpha-linolenic acid. Studies have shown that people who have ample amounts of Omeg-3 in their diet are less likely to have high blood pressure, can reduce the incidence of heart disease, and are 50% less likely to experience a serious heart attack. Of course, we look at this as a healthy opportunity to enjoy sautéing our garlic and onions that will accompany our next meal with Paso Prime.

Grass fed beef provides support for a dietary defense against cancer. The lower glycemic index of grass fed beef starves cancer cells preventing them from drawing upon the sugar they need to multiply. Grazing on grass transforms the basic body chemistry of Paso Prime steer into an alkaline environment where cancer cells cannot live. In addition to cancer fighting Omega-3, grass fed beef contains the highest concentrations of another “good” fat known to fight cancer called Conjugated Linoleic Acid or CLA. CLA has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer in humans and reduce tumor growth
