</h2>
<b>Non-Processed Meats</b>. As a rule of thumb, it is best
to buy foods with the fewest ingredients as these tend to be less
processed and closer to their original form. Most meats do not have an
ingredient list at all, because the food itself is the only ingredient
(the same applies to fresh and frozen vegetables). Make these types of
food the nucleus of your meal planning and preparation.<br />
<b>Grass-fed Beef. </b>You are what you eat, but you are
also what your food eats. Put another way, when we consume healthier
animals, we become healthier ourselves. Arguably, one of the most
important factors to overall health is the ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s
in your diet. Grass-fed cattle have greater amounts of omega-3 fats
than grain-fed cattle, as well as lower bacterial infections and
parasites (meaning they require fewer antibiotics). The type of feed
also matters more than the quality of feed; that is, organic-fed animals
can still be fed food (corn, soy) they were never intended to eat.<br />
<b>Eggs.</b> People often classify eggs as dairy, but eggs
are the “fruit” of chickens, whereas dairy comes from cows (and a few
other animals). Eggs are completely void of dairy products such as whey,
casein and lactose, and offer the highest biological value of protein.
Eggs are also high in vitamin A, various B vitamins, minerals and
phytonutrients and, as discussed, are safe to eat again, despite their
high amounts of cholesterol.<br />
<b>Small Fish</b>. Many types of fish offer high levels of
omega-3 fats. But small fish (bottom feeders), offer an additional
benefit—sustainability. The environmental impact of our food sources is
often overlooked and predators are the least sustainable because they
eat fish that eat other fish—by the time your anchovy becomes a tuna,
you have eaten 100 pounds of seafood.<br />
While it is O.K. to eat tuna, mahi mahi, farmed salmon, shark, red
snapper and swordfish occasionally, try to consume more mussels,
oysters, clams, sardines, scallops Pacific halibut, rainbow trout,
lobster and crayfish. These smaller fish also have lower mercury levels
compared to predator fish.<br />
Overall, a plant-based diet with meat appears to offer the most
health benefits. Think of the ideal plate with a 2:1:1 ratio of
vegetables, meats and fruit/starches. For most Americans, this means
cutting total meat consumption in half, but it is even more important to
consume quality meats such as grass-fed beef, eggs and small fish.
Additionally, look for the words <i>local</i> and <i>free-range</i>
when purchasing meat and poultry. Eating a little less meat overall,
while also emphasizing, unprocessed, higher quality meats, will have no
net change in your budget, but will make meals more enjoyable and have
lasting health benefits.<br />

</h2>
<b>Protein. </b>Meat provides complete, high-quality
protein (roughly 7 grams perounce). While most Americans consume enough
protein; however several myths about high-protein consumption exist. For
example, some believe that the body can only absorb about 40 grams of
protein at once. While it is true that the effectiveness of a single
dose of protein levels off around 30-40 grams, this does not mean the
body cannot utilize more than 40 grams or that it will automatically
convert to fat. Nor will a high-protein diet wreck your kidneys or leach
calcium from the bones. Unless you have a preexisting condition (such
as high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney disease) and your fluid
intake is adequate, a high-protein diet will not overstress the kidneys.
And it’s actually an overconsumption of phosphorus (such as phosphoric
acid in colas), not protein, that has the greatest negative impact on
bone health.<br />
<b>Iron.</b> Unlike protein, iron is deemed an
under-consumed nutrient and iron deficiency is considered a public
health concern for adolescent, premenopausal and pregnant women. Meat,
especially red meat, contains ample amounts of heme iron, which has a
very high biological value, meaning it is well absorbed. Iron from
non-animal sources (non-heme) has a lower biological value.<br />
<b>Vitamin B-12.</b> Vitamin B12 is only available from
animal sources and plays an important role in digestion (stomach acid)
and energy production. People who do not eat meat, dairy or eggs must
supplement their diets with B12.<br />
<b>Lipid Profile and Cardiovascular Health.</b> The
research now suggests that low-carbohydrate diets are equally effective
as low-fat diets at reducing weight and improving cardiovascular risk
factors. Low-carbohydrate meal plans typically replace starches, grains
and fruits with meats and healthy fats. Thus, when replaced with the
correct proteins and fats, a high-meat diet can be heart healthy.<br />
While meat does contain cholesterol (as all animal products do), the
newest Dietary Guidelines has removed the cap on cholesterol
consumption. Research suggests that dietary cholesterol has very little
effect on blood cholesterol.<br />
It is also worth noting that a recent extensive review of the
scientific literature concluded that the body treats saturated fats from
processed meats and unprocessed meats differently. That is, a small
steak from the local butcher and a few slices of deli meat (laden with
nitrates and other preservatives) may each contain 5 grams of saturated
fat, but the latter will have a greater, negative impact on our health.<br />

be a rather polarizing food, with proponents and critics on both sides
of the health spectrum. Even so, annual meat consumption in the U.S.
(including red meat, poultry and fish) has increased steadily, rising
from 205 pounds per consumer in 1980 to 230 pounds per consumer in 2016
(roughly 10 ounces per person, per day). By contrast, fruit and
vegetable intakes have declined over the past 10 years, with nearly 80%
of Americans (across all age groups) not meeting the recommended daily
intake for vegetables.<br />
Given the fact that this time period has seen a concurrent rise in
both obesity and heart disease rates, some have questioned whether or
not meat consumption to blame. However, the true culprit is
overconsumption of calorically dense foods. While this might describe
some meats, other types can be considered quite healthy.<br />
The 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend a plant-based
diet, but this does not rule out meat consumption. Instead, many people
opt for a semi-vegetarian approach—a flexitarian diet, as some have
termed it—that may provide the most health benefits. This term
conceptualizes a way of eating that places more emphasis on
vegetable-based meals and less emphasis on meats. In other words, the
most current recommendation is to eat a lot of vegetables with some meat
(as opposed to the other way around). For the record, vegan and
vegetarian eating patterns can supply all necessary nutrients as well.<br />
If you choose to include meat in your diet, it’s important to know
what health benefits you might be getting and how to choose the
healthiest meats.<br />

One reason may be that apples contain <a class="content-link css-5r4717" href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/foods-high-in-soluble-fiber">soluble fiber</a> — the kind that can help lower your blood cholesterol levels.<br />
They also contain polyphenols, which have antioxidant effects. Many of these are concentrated in the peel.<br />
One of these polyphenols is the flavonoid epicatechin, which may lower blood pressure.<br />
An analysis of studies found that high intakes of flavonoids were linked to a 20% lower risk of stroke (<a class="content-link css-5r4717" href="https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/140/3/600/4689169" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">6<span class="css-1mdvjzu icon-hl-trusted-source-after"><span class="sro">Trusted Source</span></span></a>).<br />
Flavonoids can help prevent heart disease by lowering blood pressure, reducing “bad” LDL oxidation, and acting as antioxidants (<a class="content-link css-5r4717" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22400181" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">7<span class="css-1mdvjzu icon-hl-trusted-source-after"><span class="sro">Trusted Source</span></span></a>).<br />
Another study comparing the effects of eating an apple a day to taking statins — a class of drugs known to <a class="content-link css-5r4717" href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/low-cholesterol-diet">lower cholesterol</a> — concluded that apples would be almost as effective at reducing death from heart disease as the drugs (<a class="content-link css-5r4717" href="http://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f7267" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">8<span class="css-1mdvjzu icon-hl-trusted-source-after"><span class="sro">Trusted Source</span></span></a>).<br />
However, since this was not a controlled trial, findings must be taken with a grain of salt.<br />
Another
study linked consuming white-fleshed fruits and vegetables, such as
apples and pears, to a reduced risk of stroke. For every 25 grams —
about 1/5 cup of apple slices — consumed, the risk of stroke decreased
by 9%<br />

They're an exceptionally healthy fruit with many research-backed benefits.<br />
Here are 10 impressive health benefits of apples.<br />

</h2>
Apples are high in fiber and water — two qualities that make them filling.<br />
In
one study, people who ate apple slices before a meal felt fuller than
those who consumed applesauce, apple juice, or no apple products (<a class="content-link css-5r4717" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2664987" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2<span class="css-1mdvjzu icon-hl-trusted-source-after"><span class="sro">Trusted Source</span></span></a>).<br />
In
the same study, those who started their meal with apple slices also ate
an average of 200 fewer calories than those who didn't (<a class="content-link css-5r4717" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2664987" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2<span class="css-1mdvjzu icon-hl-trusted-source-after"><span class="sro">Trusted Source</span></span></a>).<br />
In
another 10-week study in 50 overweight women, participants who ate
apples lost an average of 2 pounds (1 kg) and ate fewer calories
overall, compared to those who ate oat cookies with a similar calorie
and fiber content (<a class="content-link css-5r4717" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18439712" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">3<span class="css-1mdvjzu icon-hl-trusted-source-after"><span class="sro">Trusted Source</span></span></a>).<br />
Researchers think that apples are more filling because they’re less energy-dense, yet still deliver <a class="content-link css-5r4717" href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/fiber-can-help-you-lose-weight">fiber</a> and volume.<br />
Furthermore, some natural compounds in them may promote <a class="content-link css-5r4717" href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-apples-affect-weight">weight loss</a>.<br />
A
study in obese mice found that those given a supplement of ground
apples and apple juice concentrate lost more weight and had lower levels
of "bad" LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol than the
control group <br />
