Healthy Option
Goat meat is a
healthier alternative to other red meats like beef, lamb, and pork. It is
naturally lean, very nutritious and has a range of health benefits. The meat
has less fat, less saturated fat, more iron, and about the same amount of
protein compared to beef, pork, lamb, or chicken.
Protein
Goat is a good source of high quality lean protein. The
protein in goat meat provides all the essential amino acids needed for the
health and development of our body. Protein is necessary for growth and in
building bones, muscles, skin, and blood. Our body also uses protein to repair
damaged tissues. Including enough protein in our daily meals may help prevent
weight gain and in some instances, diabetes
Fat
The overall fat
content of goat meat is lower than other red meats; therefore, it provides
fewer calories. Including goat meat in
the diet may reduce the risk of obesity. The American Heart Association
recommends limiting the amount of saturated fats in the diet, and replacing it
with unsaturated fats. Goat meat is low in saturated fats and has more of the
recommended unsaturated fats.
Minerals
Goat meat provides
minerals needed in the body for growth and good health.
Iron
Goat meat is rich in iron, a nutrient that is needed in our
diet. Iron is important because your body needs it to make the protein called
hemoglobin in the blood. Without hemoglobin red blood cells cannot carry oxygen
from the lungs to the rest of the body. Iron is the most common nutrient
deficiency in the United States. During pregnancy many women develop iron
deficiency anemia as a result of not eating enough iron rich foods.
Potassium Goat
Meat is high in potassium. The high potassium content helps
to stabilize and regulate heartbeat.
Other minerals present in goat meat but at low levels include
calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. Overall goat meat is perfect for bodybuilder.
