If you prepare a few pieces of different cuts, the meat will become your source of iron, vitamin B12, protein and amino acids. Iron contained in meat, nice to digest unlike other sources. However, red meat also contains saturated fat that the average resident of Great Britain should be consumed in smaller quantities.
Remember that red meat - a useful way of getting nutrients, but it is not always a positive effect on the health of the organism as a whole. If you decide to give it up, then you have to use other products containing iron (eg, cereals, green vegetables and legumes), and vitamin B 12. Iron is better absorbed if you eat foods rich in vitamin C. It is not recommended to drink tea or coffee such food because they slow down the absorption of iron. Men need to receive daily 8, 7 mg of iron, and women - 14, 8 mg.
