Is there a downfall to eating red meat everyday. I am so burnt out on chicken so i switched over to steak this week and it's been damn good.
yes....there can be some negatives...
1) steak is loaded with arachodonic acid (spelling?)....which is is pro-inflammatory.
2) steak is loaded with phosphorus which, in excess, can retard calcium and magnesium metabolism.
To side step these problems keep your magnesium and calcium intakes relatively high. Also take Omega 3 fatty acid which is anti-inflammatory.
The upside to eating steak is that it is high in absorbable heme Iron. Beef is also a great source of: Protein, vitamin B-12, Zinc, and Creatine.
Try to only eat "organic" grass fed cattle.
