IT’S ALL GOOD FOR YOU!

At Goldburgers, we believe in eating healthier and that is why we use fresh, local produce, eggs, beef and poultry for our menu items!

Eating meat from grass fed animals is lower in fat than meat from grain-fed animals.  For example – did you know that a 6oz steak from a grass fed cow can have 100 fewer calories than a 6 oz steak from a grain-fed cow?

Meat from grass fed animals also has two to four times more omega-3 fatty acids than meat from grain fed animals.  Omega-3’s are “good fat” because they play a vital role in every cell and system in your body. Omega 3’s are also essential for your brain.  People with a diet rich in Omega 3’s are less likely to suffer from depression, schizophrenia, attention deficit disorder and Alzheimer’s disease.

Omega 3’s can reduce the risk of cancer.  In animal studies, Omega 3’s have slowed the growth and spreading of cancer.

When animals are grain fed, the grain diminishes their Omega 3 level.  Eggs from pastured hens can contain as much as 10 times more Omega 3’s than eggs from factory hens.

Another benefit of grass fed beef, dairy and eggs is that these foods will have a higher Vitamin E level. Sometimes as much as 4% higher.

The top ten benefits of grass fed beef are:

1. Lower in total fat
2. Higher in beta-carotene
3. Higher in vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol)
4. Higher in the B-vitamins thiamin and riboflavin
5. Higher in the minerals calcium, magnesium, and potassium
6. Higher in total omega-3s
7. A healthier ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids (1.65 vs 4.84)
8. Higher in CLA (cis-9 trans-11), a potential cancer fighter
9. Higher in vaccenic acid (which can be transformed into CLA)
10. Lower in the saturated fats linked with heart disease

Everyone loves a good egg!  Eggs from pastured hens are richer in Vitamin D.  Vitamin D helps build strong bones.  Researchers have found that eating just two eggs from pastured hens, will give you 64-126% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin D.   You can find these eggs at farmer’s markets or natural food stores.
