Benefits of All Natural Beef

In today’s world, it is but a blessing to be living for more than 75 years. The average lifespan of man is 75 years old, but because of the many prevalent illnesses and sicknesses, we find it hard, difficult, and almost impossible to reach that ripe age. The many chemicals and preservatives added to our foods and our lifestyle, all contribute to the aging process. With the health risks and threats, many have now opted to eat organic, all natural foods. Since most of us are meat eaters, eating like all natural beef can be very beneficial to our bodies and to our health overall.

All natural beef contains more Vitamin E, it reduces the risk of E. Coli, and it is leaner and has 50% less fat. Cattle feed on green grass and grass naturally is high in Omega-3 fats which is one of the “good fats” which is plays a very important role in growth and development and prevents heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Because also of its natural goodness, the flavor is more savory and the meat’s texture is superior. All natural beef, all natural foods are healthier and so much better than those processed foods, so on your next trip to the grocery, don’t forget to pick the natural ones for longer life.


***********
I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog for an natural beef company and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

Brisket

I love bristket. I think because I love the taste of beef fats. I love my brisket eaten with slices of fresh ripe tomatoes. Of course, it should be served with rice or I won't be a Filipino anymore.

Thanks to Mom Lori for the brisket!

Mongolian Beef

I ordered Mongolian beef served in crispy noodles last week. It was a disaster! I ended up throwing most of this. I just can't believe how sweet the dish was. It was awful!

All the while, I thought that Mongolian beef is something kinda spicy but of course I was wrong. Lesson learned, no more mongolian beef for me!

Pochero

Food Trippers, my entry for this week is Pochero. I didn't make this but it was served to us when we attended a party last week.

Ate Angie, a good friend of ours, invited us to an "adult party" in celebration with their 17th wedding anniversary. We had a great time with her prepared filipino food. Her pochero was so good! As in I am giving her a 10 for her pochero.
