Red meat, including beef burgers, tends to be overlooked as part of a nutritious diet; but moderate amounts fit perfectly into a balanced diet. Beef burgers made with lean mince packs your meal with nutrients, like iron, vitamin B-12 and protein.
Why are these nutrients so important? Iron carries oxygen to cells, tissues and organs and red meats, such as beef burger, are some of the best sources of iron. Vitamin B-12 is essential for the production of new red blood cells. Without adequate B-12, red blood cells form abnormal shapes, resulting in decreased oxygen delivery throughout your body.
Lean beef burgers are also rich in protein which gives structure to cells, builds lean muscle mass and acts as a backup source of energy when carbohydrates and fat are not available.
So, if you’re a generally healthy person, a beef burger once in a while may have some benefits.
