ANIMAL PROTEIN; WHEN YOU ARE LOST FOR CHOICE

I have been to occasions and sometimes the catering service offered is a buffet. I am usually to choose between taking fish or chicken or beef. Now I wouldn’t mind being offered all (I love meat like that), but the challenge I have every time is to choose which one I would rather go for. Fish would taste nice, I begin to imagine, but the succulence of nicely grilled chicken begins to tempt me. If you have ever been in this position, then you would understand that making the right choice is usually such a herculean task.
With time, I came to realise that it became easier to make a choice as I understood the health benefits of each of the animal proteins and could tell what my body needed per time.
Fish is a great source of good animal protein. It is one of the healthier choices and is also good for the heart. It is usually recommended for people who have issues with obesity as it has little or no effect on weight gain depending on the amount consumed.
Chicken is also a preferred animal protein compared to beef. Although its taste endears many to it, it is usually advised that only little portions be eaten per time as it may affect health if eaten in excess of what the body needs.
Beef, which is also known as cow meat is not always the best option because of its implications in the risk for heart disease. Amidst the negative effects, beef also has some great health benefits of preventing iron deficiency anaemia and increasing muscle mass due to its high protein content. It is also full of vitamins.
Animal proteins in general are good for the health when taken in moderate amounts. However, depending on your health condition, whenever faced with the option of choosing any one of them, be well guided to make the right choice.
