Which is more nutritious, beef or mutton?
Both kinds of meat have nutritional value. According to different constitutions, it is better to supplement selenium and antioxidants for mutton, and protein and zinc for beef.

First, the nutrition of beef

Red meat is an important source of iron, and beef is especially rich in heme iron, which can effectively prevent iron deficiency anemia. In addition, the contents of protein and zinc in beef are higher than those in other meats, and the fat content is the lowest.

Beef is mild and can be eaten all year round, and people of all kinds of constitutions can also eat it. However, beef muscle fiber is thick and difficult to digest, so the elderly, children and people with indigestion should not eat more.

Second, the nutrition of mutton

The nutrition of mutton is similar to that of beef, and it is also rich in protein and heme iron, so it is a good food for enriching blood. It is worth noting that the selenium content in mutton is much higher than that in other meats. Studies have shown that selenium has antioxidant effect, can resist the toxicity of heavy metals, protect eyesight and inhibit tumors.

Generally speaking, there are two situations to say "no": first, mutual restriction and interference will reduce the curative effect; Second, the interaction produces a chemical reaction, which may produce toxicity.

If we do an experimental research project on the topic "Are these two kinds of meat mixed together?", I wonder if we will come to a conclusion to support this statement. Before being denied, let's listen to an old saying, and pay attention to these taboos when eating meat. Otherwise, it is always threatened by "illness from the mouth".
