BUFFALO MEAT OR BISON MEAT AND HEALTH |

American Buffalo meat is the healthiest red meat ever. In fact it has a lot less calories than a chicken. Of course, chicken is not red meat... But be sure to buy grass fed bison meat, which has a lot less calories than its grain-fed counterpart! As a matter of fact, if you are yerning for beef, there is beef that is grass-fed in this world and is so much healthier for you than when they are finished on grain! |

WHY IS IT SO HEALTHY?!?
Well, this is so, because american buffalo as an animal are naturally resistant to diseases and grow faster than domestic animals. Because of that, the antibiotics and growth hormones are not given to american buffalo - bisons.
Second reason is the biochemistry structure of american buffalo meat itself. American buffalo / bison meat has a lot less calories and a bad cholesterol than other red meat. And it is perfect solution for low cholesterol, low fat diet. Bison is significantly higher in protein, yet lower in fat, cholesterol and calories than most other meats. Every man needs red meat for normal healthy life, becouse it includes a lot of minerals (especialy iron), which is well needed by women and children.Bison meat is also hypoallergenic and can be eaten by people who are allergic to other red meat.
As I mentioned above, buffalo has more iron than beef. For women, iron is a significant item. Adding buffalo to your diet can help meet those recommended allowances, as buffalo meat contributes about 69% more iron to your diet per serving than beef does!
