Naturewell® Beef Helps You Think:
It is appropriate that zinc should rhyme with think. Zinc contributes to attention span, learning ability, short-term memory, and problem solving – all smart reasons to be sure you’re getting enough of this vital mineral.
Add to that the fact that zinc plays a crucial role in the body’s growth and development, forms enzymes and insulin, maintains the immune system, and aids wound healing and appetite control, and you’ll realize it’s critical for you and your family to get the recommended daily value of zinc in your diet.
Fortunately, thanks to beef, getting your zinc is easy.
Beef is an excellent source of zinc. One 3-ounce serving provides 38% of the required daily value, with only 154 calories. It would take 13 3-ounce servings of salmon to obtain the same amount, yielding a whopping 2,363 calories.*
Naturewell Beef Helps with Immunity:
In order to metabolize proteins and red blood cells, vitamin B6 is vital to the immune system. It’s also necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system.
Vitamin B6 is also needed to make hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to tissues via red blood cells. That’s why it’s so important to get the recommended daily value.
Fortunately, a 3-ounce serving of beef —a good source of vitamin B6— provides 15% of the recommended daily value. It would take 6 1/2 cups of raw spinach to get as much of this important nutrient.*
Naturewell Beef Helps You Stay Healthy:
Vitamin B12 helps to preserve strong nerve cells and maintain normal function of the nervous system. It’s also crucial in the generation of DNA, aiding not only in the formation of red blood cells, but also keeping them healthy after they’re formed. Add folate to the mix and it also may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease.
Beef makes it easy to get enough vitamin B12:
Providing 37% of the required daily value for vitamin B12 with only one 3-ounce serving, beef is an excellent source of this critical vitamin. Plus, that’s only 154 calories. It would take 7 1/2 3-ounce servings of skinless chicken breast —1,050 calories— to obtain the same content of vitamin B12.*
Beef Helps You Pay Attention:
A healthy diet includes iron, a mineral needed to carry oxygen to the brain cells and to help regulate the ability to pay attention. It is also vital for the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Lacking iron will result in decreased work performance, fatigue, and deteriorated immunity.
As a metal, it’s one of the most abundant elements on earth; as a nutrient, one of its most important sources is beef.
Providing 14% of the required daily value for iron, a 3-ounce serving of beef is certainly simpler than eating 2 3/4 cups of raw spinach.
