A vegetarian diet is not suited for everyone, though that does not mean you should compromise on health. All meat is by far, not the same. What makes the difference, aside from the animals diet and it’s fitness is each animal’s intrinsically varied DNA. While a physical lifestyle will yield more muscle, and less fat content in an animal, DNA is the physiological blueprint that predetermine protein, vitamin, mineral, and cholesterol content.

The retail price of meat is always a market factor. However, managing your health is mostly a matter of perception, and priority. The following chart shows some nutritional information of various types of meats.

Although organic meat does contain more vitamins such as vitamin B, and is not toxic by way of antibiotic and hormone content, organic meat does not vary much in relation to fat, protein, cholesterol, and sodium. Ideally, the best option is purchasing leaner meat with less fat content, if you are choosing beef. Though of the meats compared, bison may have the best nutritional value.

Significantly, bison has less cholesterol than beef. This makes it a heart-healthy option. Cholesterol, in basic terms, is what makes the broth from meat harden at room temperature to a waxy consistency. This is comparable to the way it hardens in the veins. Cholesterol impacts the whole body’s blood circulation.

Bison is digestively compatible with the human organism. It is a more flavorful alternative to beef. It is also a low sodium food, which additionally affects blood circulation.
