Buffalo Meat- Due largely to menstruation, women tend to
be anemic more than men. And low iron levels in blood can cause
severe fatigue. To get a good dose of iron, try bison. Bison,
or buffalo, meat is lean and has what diet-conscious women want
-- lots of iron and less fat than most cuts of beef. "The
iron content is about 3 milligrams in a 3 1/2-ounce uncooked
portion,"says Marty Marchello, Ph.D., at North Dakota State
University. "That portion contains less than 3 grams of
fat."
Buffalo meat can help boost energy and lower weight. And you
don't have to have a home on the range to get some bison anymore.
You can pick it up at many supermarkets across the United States,
or through mail order or on the Internet. |
