Grass Fed Beef

Grass-Fed Beef has the right balance of Essential Fatty Acids (Omega-6 and Omega-3).​Healthy diets need a balance between omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids, but omega-3 EFAs are in short supply in the average American diet.

A ready supply of omega-3 can be found in cold-water fish or mammals and grass-fed beef and dairy products. These are the only adequate sources for omega-3 EFA's. Omega-6s and Omega-3s perform their nutritional functions together. One is useless without the other. Unfortunately, the steady diet of grain fed to the vast majority of cattle in the United States and other industrialized countries has greatly diminished the presence of omega-3s, so that typical supermarket beef and dairy products contain on average 3 or 4 times the amount of omega-6s as omega-3s.

Keeping a cow on a traditional diet of grass yields a one-to-one balance of omega-6s and omega-3s in her milk and beef. Omega-6 and omega-3 EFAs regulate approximately 50 bodily functions, including inflammation and blood clotting. If they are not in balance, the omega-6 EFA's may become overactive, increasing inflammatory responses, which lead to chronic inflammatory conditions like arthritis, and promoting the formation of inappropriate blood clots that may cause plaque buildup, stroke, and heart attack. Additionally, omega-3 fats are essential to brain and eye formation in embryos and are considered by some of the best researchers on brain health to be the most important fatty acids for brain health as we age.
