There are several benefits to eating products that are raised naturally. Here are just a few of the key benefits of:
Lower in fat
Beef, pork and chicken that is raised naturally is lower in total fat than processed meat because the feed that is used to grow processed meat is high in fat content to make the animals grow faster. The leaner cuts of all-natural meat average 20 calories less per ounce than process meat.
Extra Omega 3's
The fat that all-natural products have is rich in omega-3's, and all-natural meats can have as much as 75% more Omega-3's than process meat. Consuming ample omega 3's will make you less likely to have high blood pressure or irregular heartbeat, and 50% less likely to have a serious heart-attack. A diet rich in omega 3's can also reduce the likelihood of depression or Alzheimers.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is essential for scotopic and color vision. Natural meat can have as much as 400% more vitamin A than process meat.
Vitamin E
Animals that are naturally raised have as much as 300% more vitamin E in their products vs. process products. Vitamin E can lower your risk of heart disease and cancer. It may also have anti-aging properties.
Less chemicals
Reduced exposure to hormones, pesticides and anitbiotics is another benefit to eating natural raised meat products. Another benefit is reduced risk of bacteria present in process meat operations.
More humane
Raising animals in a meat processing plant is just plain inhumane. Animals should be allowed to roam and eat natural plants and insects. Buying natural meat supports the farmers that go the extra mile to provide a humane alternative to process meat farms.
And it just tastes better
Let's not forget one of the most important elements of all natural products, they taste better. This is why it's harder to get and more expensive than process meat, because chefs and resturants purchase these meats to serve thier clients.
