May is BEEF Month—Beef and Immunity

I’m going to let you in on a little secret…eating BEEF might help fight covid!

BEEF contains a few key nutrients for building immunity!

Based on an article from the Harvard School of Public Health, these include iron, selenium, zinc, and even protein.

3oz. of LEAN BEEF provides the following in a 2000 calorie meal plan:

  • Iron-14% DV

  • Selenium-38% DV

  • Zinc-39% DV

  • Protein-51% DV

So don’t forget to include LEAN BEEF in your daily meal/snack pattern to help build immunity in the fight against covid!
