Why Red Meat for Mom?

We’ve all looked to our mothers at some point as the “Iron Lady”; the one who could rescue the family out of even the toughest spot. However, did you know that women need to consume about twice as much iron as men? You heard that right, an average of 125 mg of iron leaves a woman’s system during each menstruation cycle, and iron is a much-needed nutrient with essential health functions such as maintaining energy levels, producing red blood cells, supporting cognitive functions and bolstering the immune system.

Red meat is one of the richest natural resources of iron available and it is even visually evident of its richness - iron is what gives red meat its redness. Beef and lamb contain much higher levels of iron than any plant-based foods and hence, play crucial roles in replenishing iron levels. Heme-iron, a highly absorbable form of the nutrient, is also found only in meats and cannot be replicated by any plant-based substitute.

In addition to iron, red meat is also packed full of zinc, protein, magnesium and phosphorus which are essential nutrients for developing and maintaining healthy muscles, bones, skin, eyes and teeth.

Well, what are you waiting for? Book the family in for a juicy good steak meal with top-quality Aussie beef, at one of these excellent restaurants.
