Where Is Zinc Most Abundant? | Healthy Eating

Zinc’s most well-known role is helping your immune system work at its best. This trace mineral also synthesizes protein, is vital to growth, controls components of your appetite and regulates dozens of enzymatic activities. You should have no problem meeting your daily zinc requirements — it is abundant in many types of foods.

Seafood

Many types of seafood are jam-packed with zinc. Oysters top the list, providing more than 76 milligrams from six medium wild raw oysters. Three ounces of steamed Alaska king crab offers nearly 6.5 milligrams, while the same amount of cooked blue crab meat has almost 3.6 milligrams. If you enjoy simmered lobster meat, you’ll wind up with nearly 2.5 milligrams of zinc from a 3-ounce serving.

Beef and Chicken

Beef and chicken are rich in zinc, but you should opt for lean cuts to avoid going overboard on fat and calories. Three ounces of trimmed and braised beef chuck contains more than 7 milligrams of zinc, and the same amount of cooked 85 percent lean ground beef offers nearly 5.4 milligrams. Lean skinless chicken breast provides roughly .85 milligrams of zinc in a 3-ounce roasted serving.

Dairy

Dairy foods are also rich in zinc. Enjoying a single-serving 8-ounce container of nonfat plain yogurt for breakfast sneaks 2.2 milligrams of zinc into your diet. Having a glass of skim milk offers more than 2 milligrams in 8 ounces. Cheese isn’t all bad, as long as you opt for lower fat varieties; part-skim mozzarella provides around .9 milligrams of the mineral per ounce.

Alternative Sources

You’ll also get zinc from plant-based foods. Many types of breakfast cereals provide a large portion of your daily value of zinc and sometimes offer extra. Nuts are a quick way to up your zinc levels. One ounce of cashews has 1.6 milligrams, the same serving of almonds offers 1 milligram and 1 ounce of peanuts provides .9 milligrams of zinc. You’ll even get zinc from beans. Garbanzo beans, which are the primary ingredient in hummus, have 1.3 milligrams of zinc per one-half cup. Baked beans contain 1.8 milligrams in a one-half cup serving.

Required Amount

Men should aim for 11 milligrams of daily zinc, while women require 8 milligrams each day, notes the Linus Pauling Institute. During pregnancy, you’ll need to get more — 11 milligrams daily. If you nurse your baby after delivery, you’ll need 12 milligrams of zinc per day. Multivitamin-mineral supplements are another way to get a little more zinc, however, it can be dangerous at doses above 40 milligrams per day. If you are taking an over-the-counter supplement, let your doctor know at your next checkup.

Zinc Nutritional Facts

Dr. Doug Stewart

Zinc is an essential mineral in our bodies.

Ideally, we should eat some zinc every day, because we cannot store it in our bodies.

The recommended dietary allowance of zinc is:

• 11 mg for men
• 8 mg for women

Dietary allowances for all ages are shown in the Data Zone.

We need zinc in our bodies for:

• protein and DNA synthesis
• normal growth and development
• enzyme function
• immune system function
• good reproductive health in males
• wound healing
• our taste and smelling senses

As a dietary supplement, zinc is available in a variety of forms such as:

• zinc gluconate
• zinc sulfate
• zinc acetate

High doses of zinc can be harmful.

For example, excess zinc can reduce the amount of copper our bodies can absorb, causing anemia. (Our bodies need copper to facilitate hemoglobin synthesis.)

You can see a list of foods that are high in zinc by scrolling a little farther down this page.

The list shows the amount of zinc in a standard portion and also the percentage of recommended daily allowance.

Like iron, our bodies absorb zinc more easily from meat than from plant sources.

The reason for this is that plants contain substances which reduce zinc absorption a little – phytates, found in wholegrain bread, legumes, and cereals – and oxalates, found in leafy vegetables – reduce our ability to absorb zinc from food.

Despite this, these foods are still good sources of zinc.

Zinc: A Healing Nutrient Profile

What does Zinc do?
Zinc is an important mineral mostly because it’s a true multi-tasker: It plays myriad roles in the body, touching on practically every system. But perhaps its most important role is in supporting the immune system. Beyond that, zinc also helps us metabolize macronutrients (carbohydrates, fat and protein), and without it our bodies wouldn’t be able to make protein or DNA.

And if that’s not enough, zinc is a component of one of the most important antioxidant enzymes—called superoxide dismutase—where it helps to fight free radicals. Phew!

How much zinc do you need?
The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for zinc is 11 milligrams (mg) per day for adults (slightly less if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding).

If you have a condition that affects nutrient absorption, such as celiac disease or Crohn’s disease, you may also need more than the RDA.

Most of us get enough zinc from what we eat. Adults should consume no more than 40 mg per day; getting too much from supplements can cause gastrointestinal problems, low levels of copper, loss of appetite and headaches, and it can impair immune function and lower HDL (good) cholesterol levels, thereby increasing heart disease risk.

Zinc – Mayo Clinic

Overview

Zinc, a nutrient found throughout your body, helps your immune system and metabolism function. Zinc is also important to wound healing and your sense of taste and smell.

With a varied diet, your body usually gets enough zinc. Food sources of zinc include chicken, red meat and fortified breakfast cereals.

People use oral zinc to help treat colds, but it can decrease the effectiveness of certain drugs and cause side effects.

The recommended daily amount of zinc is 8 milligrams (mg) for women and 11 mg for adult men.

Evidence

Research on oral zinc for specific conditions shows:

• Zinc deficiency. People who have low levels of zinc appear to benefit most from zinc supplements. This kind of deficiency isn’t common in the United States.
• Colds. Evidence suggests that if zinc lozenges or syrup is taken within 24 hours after cold symptoms start, the supplement can help shorten the length of colds. However, use of intranasal zinc has been linked with the loss of the sense of smell, in some cases long term or permanently.
• Wound healing. People with skin ulcers and low levels of zinc might benefit from oral zinc supplements.
• Diarrhea. Oral zinc supplements can reduce the symptoms of diarrhea in children with low levels of zinc, such as from malnutrition. There isn’t enough evidence to recommend use of oral zinc for children with diarrhea who have a healthy, varied diet.
• Age-related macular degeneration. Research suggests that oral zinc might slow the progression of this eye disease.

Zinc that’s used topically is known as zinc oxide. Zinc oxide cream, ointment or paste is applied to the skin to prevent conditions such as diaper rash and sunburn.

Our take

Generally safe

Oral zinc supplements might benefit people with low levels of zinc. Taken soon after cold symptoms appear, zinc might also shorten the length of a cold.

However, don’t use intranasal zinc, which has been linked with the loss of the sense of smell.

Safety and side effects

Oral zinc can cause:

• Indigestion
• Diarrhea
• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting

When oral zinc is taken long term and in high doses it can cause copper deficiency. People with low copper levels might experience neurological issues, such as numbness and weakness in the arms and legs.

The National Institutes of Health considers 40 mg of zinc a day to be the upper limit dose for adults and 4 mg of zinc a day for infants under age 6 months.

Don’t use intranasal zinc. This form of zinc has been linked with the loss of the sense of smell.

Interactions

Possible interactions include:

• Antibiotics. Using oral zinc while you’re taking quinolone or tetracycline antibiotics can interfere with their ability to fight bacteria. Taking the antibiotic two hours before or four to six hours after taking zinc can minimize this effect.
• Penicillamine. Using oral zinc with the rheumatoid arthritis drug penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen) can reduce the drug’s ability to ease arthritis symptoms. Taking zinc at least two hours before or after taking the drug might minimize this effect.
• Thiazide diuretics. These blood pressure drugs increase the amount of zinc lost in urine.

where it is found in large quantities (table), consumption rates, symptoms of deficiency and overabundance

The human body contains about two grams of zinc, which are dispersed in the muscles, pancreas and liver.This small amount determines the production of more than 400 enzymes. Without zinc, protein synthesis, the production of red blood cells and the normal functioning of the bone and muscular systems are impossible.

Trace element is inextricably linked with the hormonal system. It is necessary for the production of male hormones and sperm, is responsible for the production of insulin, without which the pancreas cannot work and diabetes mellitus develops. With its direct participation, the formation of the hormone growth hormone or growth factor, as well as corticotropin, the hormone of the adrenal glands, occurs.

Nika Tyutyunnikova, fitness trainer, nutritionist: “It has been scientifically proven that zinc deficiency disrupts the immune defense: the intensity of growth and functioning of cells of the immune system decreases, the production of antiviral proteins, interferons. This leads to poor resistance to infections, especially viral infections. Frequent illness, not only in childhood, is a reason to review the diet for zinc sufficiency. ”

Symptoms of zinc deficiency

Frequent acute respiratory infections are not the only alarming signal.Zinc-rich foods should be included in the diet if:

• skin changes – rashes, dryness, slow wound healing;
• Deterioration of the condition of hair – their focal loss or discoloration;
• Changes in the structure of nails – fragility, transverse white grooves.

If external signs of deficiency are accompanied by other disorders, this is a reason to consult a doctor. The value of the trace element is so high that disturbances can relate to the work of the brain, the hematopoietic system, changes in the functioning of the genitourinary system.

External signs are supplemented by:

• changes in the perception of smells and tastes;
• loss of appetite;
• neurological disorders – unreasonable restlessness, loss of attention, trembling of the limbs, changes in speech and gait;
• decrease in school performance, fatigue in children;
• Puberty disorder in children, growth arrest;
• decrease in visual acuity.

Symptoms of zinc deficiency are not specific, similar may be present with other micronutrient deficiencies or diseases.Therefore, only a doctor should be involved in diagnostics and treatment. Foods that contain high levels of zinc will help prevent these conditions, but will not cure the disease if present.

Risk groups

Zinc is a common trace element in food. With a varied diet, deficiency is unlikely. But there are five groups of people who are at risk of developing a deficiency and its consequences.

1. People with gastrointestinal diseases

Zinc is absorbed in the small intestine.Diseases of the digestive system can worsen the already incomplete absorption of a trace element from food. An operation on the digestive organs, gastrointestinal diseases (ulcerative colitis, short bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease) contribute to this. Certain conditions, such as chronic diarrhea, cause excess micronutrient loss and deficiency.

2. Vegetarians

The body is able to assimilate no more than one third of the zinc ingested with food. Its best sources are meat products, where a trace element is associated with protein.Vegetarians also get zinc by consuming plant foods. But the degree of its assimilation by the body is lower, does not exceed 20 percent. In addition, a large amount of fiber in the consumption of plant foods and the content of trace elements that bind zinc, minimize its absorption. Most of the “antagonists” of the mineral are found in legumes and whole grains.

3. Pregnancy, breastfeeding

During pregnancy, the body needs more supply of the mineral, as part of it is absorbed by the fetus.With a lack of zinc in the diet, the body “sends” the required share to the baby, ruthlessly destroying its own reserves. The same happens during lactation.

4. People suffering from sickle cell disease

In children with hereditary diseases of the hematopoietic system, the plasma zinc concentration is 44 percent lower than in healthy children. This is due to the increased need for nutrients.

5. Alcoholics

The level of a trace element in the body does not exceed 50 percent of the required, which is determined by two factors: the private consumption of ethanol and the scarcity of the diet.The first one practically blocks the absorption of zinc, the second one excludes its receipt in sufficient quantity. Frequent consumption of ethanol slows down the absorption of zinc.

Daily Values ​​

Nika Tyutyunnikova, fitness trainer, nutritionist: “The optimal daily intake is 15-18 mg of zinc. But if you play sports or suffer from profuse sweating, the daily allowance should be increased. It is important to understand that zinc should be in moderation. Its deficiency is no less harmful than an overabundance. “

Table – daily intake of zinc

the form of mineral complexes.Vegetarians and people on a low-calorie diet need them.

It is impossible to get more zinc than you need from food. The products contain little of it. Even oysters – the record holders in terms of trace element volume, include no more than the daily requirement. You can oversaturate the body when taking medications, vitamin complexes and dietary supplements, as well as in violation of the metabolism of a trace element.

Food

The best sources of zinc are animal products, including seafood.Oysters, mussels and shrimps are rich in microelements; it is found in fish – salmon, trout. Eating 50 grams of oysters, you provide the body with valuable minerals for a day.

It is found in smaller quantities in red meat, for example, 100 g of beef or lamb gives up to 65 percent of the daily value. Equal in zinc content are pumpkin and watermelon seeds. But at the expense of berries, vegetables and fruits, it is impossible to compensate for the body’s needs for a trace element. There is zinc in them, but in order for an adult to get the required amount, for example, from apples or currants, they will need to eat at least ten kilograms.

Table – a list of foods rich in zinc

Products with high zinc content are available in any store …But the microelement is absorbed in different ways. Best of all from seafood, meat, hard cheeses, offal. Worse – from grains and soybeans. In addition to fiber, which inhibits absorption, they contain phytic acid, which “binds” the microelement. Therefore, yeast bread will not be useful, but baking from coarse flour with sourdough will benefit the body, since the phytic compounds in it are destroyed.

The expert recommends

Compliance with the following recommendations will help to avoid micronutrient deficiencies.

• Include animal products in your diet. Beef, lean pork, offal, turkey, sea fish and shellfish, eggs and dairy products are not only rich in zinc. Of these, the mineral is well absorbed, which means that the body gets maximum benefits.
• Combine with plant foods. Mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts and sesame seeds will enrich the diet with zinc. Also, a trace element is found in budget cereals (oat and buckwheat), bran.
• Don’t count on legumes. Although the zinc content in peas and beans is high, it is practically not absorbed by the body. This is important to consider when eating a vegetarian diet.
• Choose the right mineral complexes. If there is a lack of zinc in food, sports, you can make up for the lack of food additives. But before buying, carefully familiarize yourself with their compositions. The absorption of zinc is blocked by copper and manganese, the simultaneous content of these microelements in the mineral complex will not be beneficial.
• Prepare food correctly. Up to 30 percent of the mineral is lost during defrosting, cooking and steeping food. To preserve it, defrost meat and fish in the refrigerator, and when cooking, draw enough water so that it only covers the food. Try to keep the juice in the meat by cutting it along the grain. Dip the fish in boiling water.

Dish bomb

Oysters are the undisputed leader in zinc content. They are recommended to be eaten fresh.The classic recipe is simple: open the sink, sprinkle the clam with lemon juice, wait 10 seconds, and then happily eat the contents with white wine.

Unfortunately, such a dinner will cost a pretty penny if you “cook” it for the family. But salmon with lentils is both an affordable and simple recipe for a zinc-rich dish.

Salmon with lentils

Ingredients (for 4 servings):

• salmon fillets on the skin – 4 pcs.,
• green lentils – 300 g;
• canned tomatoes – ½ cup;
• bow – 1 head;
• carrots – 1 pc.;
• celery – 1 stalk;
• garlic – 1 clove;
• water – 2.5 cups;
• dried thyme – ¼ teaspoon;
• bay leaf – 1 pc .;
• olive oil – 1 tablespoon;
• lemon juice;
• salt, pepper.

Step by step

1. Rinse lentils and soak in cold water for 30 minutes. Soaking will keep the grains intact when stewing.
2. Peel and chop onions, carrots, celery, garlic.
3. Pour olive oil into the pan, heat, add vegetables, fry, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
4. Add lentils, tomatoes, water, bay leaves, thyme. Simmer lentils until soft, salt at the end of cooking, add pepper, remove bay leaf.
5. Grate fillet pieces with salt and pepper, leave for five minutes. Preheat a skillet, put the fillets skin side down and fry for two minutes, turn over and fry for another two minutes. The finished fillet remains light and juicy inside.
6. Put fish pieces into plates, add vegetable garnish.

Chicken thighs are even better than breasts (Manufacturers review, April) | Myths and truths about healthy lifestyles

Chicken is the most popular meat in the world, and the debate over which part of chicken is the most delicious and healthy never ceases. Healthy lifestyle adherents claim that white breast meat is a healthier choice (it contains fewer calories and harmful substances), and leg lovers prove that red meat is much tastier and juicier and they do not want to choke on dry breast.So who is not right? And is chicken on the shelves of our stores generally a useful product: is it pumped with antibiotics, growth hormones and is it not infected with pathogenic microflora (salmonella, listeria and E. coli)?

The benefits of chicken meat

Now the whole world is conducting various studies on which foods can prolong life and have anti-aging effects. The British, for example, have already compiled a list of products that they recommend for preserving youth and longevity, and along with walnuts, mackerel and cheeses, it also contains chicken meat.Researchers are confident that chicken lowers blood pressure and heals headaches.

Our scientists also agree with this opinion:

Protein – normalizes blood pressure both directly and indirectly. If a person regularly eats chicken with vegetables, he is less likely to become overweight, namely, excess fat and swelling give the start of hypertension, as vasospasm occurs.

Contains all complete amino acids , which have a huge number of useful properties – maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, so that the vessels can contract and expand, normalizing pressure

Taurine – an amino acid found in large quantities in chicken meat, found in our brain and spinal cord, heart, kidneys and even in the retina.

Arginine – can be converted into nitric oxide and have a vasodilating effect, which reduces blood pressure

Lysine – in the heart turns into L-carnitine and starts the work of the heart muscle, the heart will contract better 9000 903

Zinc – people suffering from hypertension have a lack of zinc in the body, and this is a very important element, since it reduces metabolic syndrome, facilitates the course of hypertension, so people suffering from high blood pressure should definitely include rich foods in their diet zinc, and there is just a lot of it in chicken.Zinc also has anti-inflammatory properties, which is important for the walls of blood vessels.

As you can see, chicken meat in our diet, including thighs, fights hypertension, improves the condition of the heart muscle and improves capillary blood supply

Thighs or breast?

1. Diet – here, of course, the breast is in front, its calorie content is almost 2 times less than that of the thighs. And there is much more fat in the thighs (9%) than in the breast (1-2%)

2.Iron – there is almost 2 times more iron in the thighs than in the breast. And iron is responsible for the respiration of the body’s cells, with a lack of it, not a single endocrine organ will be able to work normally, thus the thighs prevent premature aging of cells and anemia much better than breast

3. Menopause – women of age should give preference to chicken thighs , since over the past years there has already been a chronic small iron deficiency, they have more zinc, which is necessary for the production of female sex hormones, which become less and less with age, and the combination of fat and protein from them also contributes to their production, and also facilitates the condition of menopause

4.Nervous system – and here the thighs are in the lead, since they have more B vitamins, and they strengthen the nervous system, prevent fatigue, improve the tone of the nervous system, and in combination with magnesium, they give a greater effect than chicken breast, where only vitamins remain traces

5. Toxicity – many believe that much more harmful substances accumulate in the thighs that can be fed to a chicken, but in fact, quite the opposite, experts say, chicken legs are constantly in motion, blood circulates there, therefore and the meat is red, this is a dynamic meat system, and the breast is a fixed part, and the exchange occurs during nutrition absolutely evenly, therefore, what came into the breast remains in it

As you can see, the thighs are superior to the breast in many ways, therefore leave it young and energetic, athletes and overweight fighters, and the rest with a clear conscience can enjoy the legs, they are easier to digest, in no x more vitamins, micro and macronutrients.

With or without skin

There are also constant disputes, someone adores the skin, and someone disdainfully rips it off the meat, considering it harmful. So is there any use in it?

1. Strengthens the muscles – the skin contains almost the same amount of protein as the meat itself, and the same amino acid composition

2. Improves brain function – when viewed from the point of view of fat, then in the skin there are only 25% of saturated fatty acids, and the rest is unsaturated, the same omega-6, which are part of cell membranes, including brain cells, and the brain is 60% fat, so the skin contributes to good memory and cognitive properties …

3. Rich in collagen, protein and unsaturated fatty acids. All fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed only in fat, including the most important vitamin D, without which no organ will function normally

4. Maintains skin tone – contains protein and fat in an ideal combination, which are necessary for the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the contractility and turgor of our skin. It also needs healthy unsaturated fats, and their composition in the skin of chickens is almost like in olive oil, there is a lot of oleic acid, which is also necessary for tone, elasticity and turgor

In what form it is better to eat

The most ideal option – this is stewing, boiling or grilling until golden, but not deep frying.The harder the chicken is fried, the less beneficial it is. It is better to combine chicken meat with vegetables containing vitamin C, for example, with a salad of cabbage and bell peppers.

Chicken – Poultry – Healthy Russia

5 December 2011

Chicken is one of the best sources of animal protein.How do you choose this product to get the most of your benefits?

Chicken meat is the most popular type of meat products. And it is no coincidence. With a relatively low cost, chicken is one of the best sources of complete animal protein. In addition, compared to pork and beef, chicken is very low in fat.

What is in chicken meat?

Poultry meat is quite dry: it contains only about 60 percent water.Protein is about 20 percent, eight to ten percent fat, and less than a percent carbohydrate.

Chicken is rich in iron, zinc, potassium and phosphorus. In the meat of this bird you can find almost all the vitamins of group B, vitamins A, E and C. By the way, iron is the most rich in “dark meat” , located on the legs and legs of chickens.

There is more protein in chicken meat than in other meat products. For example, goose meat contains about 17 percent, beef – 18, and pork – only 13 percent .Dietary protein from chicken meat allows a person to obtain essential amino acids. Most of all in it tryptophan – an amino acid, from which the pleasure hormone serotonin is synthesized.

Proteins obtained from chicken meat are easily digested , as chicken meat contains practically no connective tissue and collagen, which are difficult to digest. Therefore, nutritionists recommend including chicken dishes in various diets – including for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

How much fat is in chicken?

The fat content of chicken meat varies depending on the part of the carcass.

The least fatty chicken is white breast meat .If cooked without the skin, it contains only three and a half percent fat, and almost as much cholesterol as fish.

So, in boiled chicken it contains about 75 mg per 100 g, and in white fish – 65 mg.

Healthy child’s diet

Chicken meat is an obligatory part of the list of basic products that should be present in the children’s menu every day. Learn more about what to feed your preschooler.

At the same time, the famous legs are almost as good as beef in terms of fat content.

How to choose the right chicken?

– Fresh chicken meat – pink with light skin. Chilled carcasses should be firm and round.

– The smell of chicken is fresh, light, not saturated and without foreign aromas.

– There must be no feathers on the carcass. If the chicken is not completely plucked, and there are bruises and tears on its skin, it means that it was processed on outdated equipment and, possibly, in poor sanitary conditions.

– Prefer chilled chicken .After freezing, the meat becomes tough, and an unscrupulous manufacturer can add extra water to it.

Grilled Chicken: Walk By

Justifying buying grilled chicken with the high protein content of this product? We’ll have to disappoint you: the harm from such a dinner, unfortunately, outweighs the benefits. An expert tells more about the diet of a modern person.

– Choose transparent chicken so you can get a good look at what you are buying.

– Inspect the packaging – there should be no damage on it, GOST and a mark of veterinary inspection must be present.- Pay attention to the expiration date. Chilled chicken is stored for no more than five days .

– The fat of a young chicken is a light cream shade. Yellow fat may indicate that there is an old bird in front of you.

Most Important

Chicken meat is an affordable low-fat product. The most dietary part of chicken is the skinless breast, and the famous chicken legs are only slightly inferior in fat to beef. It is better to choose chilled chicken – with a light skin without foreign odors and feathers that have not been plucked out.Art by: Yusuke Morimoto

90,000 Useful chicken meat, chemical composition and nutritional value, harm and contraindications

Everyone is now trumpeting about proper and rational nutrition, about the fact that you need to eat dietary low-fat foods, and then you will be happy in the form of slender legs and a relief press.

Chicken breast is in the first place of honor in the list of dietary products of all fit babies and athletes who watch their shape.

But is brisket as useful as many people think? Does lean white chicken meat really give your body everything it needs?

Today I decided to analyze in great detail the issue of benefits and dangers of chicken breast for the human body. And we will start our research with the good news, that is, we will find out what the benefits of eating chicken breast are.

Benefits of chicken breast

Chicken breast is a low-calorie dietary product, precisely because of its high protein content (23%) and low fat content (1.5-2%) all athletes love it so much. But I note that it is chicken breast WITHOUT SKIN that is considered the reference source of protein! I’ll talk about chicken skin a little later.

The table below shows the calorie content and mineral composition of chicken breast.

• From the presented chemical composition, we see that chicken breast contains B vitamins, vitamins A and PP, choline, and a small amount of minerals.

This set of useful substances helps to neutralize excessive acidity of the gastrointestinal tract, therefore, patients with gastritis and stomach ulcers are especially recommended to eat white meat. This is the benefit of chicken breast .

Also, the low calorie content of chicken fillet (113 kcal per 100 g of product) really indicates that meat belongs to dietary sources of protein, which means it is recommended for people who are obese and overweight, and it is recommended for low fat and cholesterol content people with diseases of the cardiovascular system.

At this point , the benefits of chicken breast ends, then we turn to the consideration of the reverse side of the medal of “aristocratic” white meat.

Harm to chicken breast

In addition to 23 g of protein, 100 g of chicken breast contains very little mineral salts: calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, etc. The reason for this is the fact that white chicken meat contains a very small amount of blood capillaries, which are carried in all the nutrients and trace elements that the chicken ate during its lifetime.

It turns out that if from day to day for six months or more there are only chicken breasts without skin, which are practically devoid of minerals, then this is fraught with very serious consequences: the body begins to use the minerals it lacks from its own sources, and these are our BONES and TEETH !

But this is not all the consequences that chicken breast lovers are doomed to. The fact is that the white meat of chicken breasts, as I said, is almost completely fat-free.On the one hand, this is good, but on the other hand, it is very, very bad.

Animal fats are needed by the human body (both male and female) for the production of sex hormones: in men, these are testosterone and androgens, and in women, these are estrogens and progesterone.

So for their production, the presence of saturated animal fats, as well as cholesterol, is a prerequisite! If the body does not receive a sufficient amount of animal fats (20-30%), then sex hormones simply cease to be produced, which will lead either to “chemical castration” in men, or to amenorrhea in women.

What to do then? – you ask, – do you really have to completely abandon the use of chicken breasts and eat only fatty meats? Not really. There are several ways how you can get out of this situation.

Method No. 1

Eat chicken breasts with skin

Chicken skin contains a lot of fat-soluble vitamins A, D and K, which is why eating chicken skin (naturally not fried) will enrich your diet with more vitamins, compared to eating only white meat from chicken breast.Therefore, if you are not a professional athlete, and are not preparing for a fitness bikini competition, then I recommend that you sometimes not throw away chicken skin, but eat chicken breasts with it.

Chicken fat is considered the lowest melting point among animal fats, which makes it minimally saturated in contrast to beef, pork, lamb and other types of animal fat

Method No. 2

There are not only chicken breasts, but also other parts of the chicken

Chicken thighs, wings and drumsticks contain much more blood capillaries and vessels, and, accordingly, more minerals and vitamins that our body needs.Therefore, my advice to you, if you are on a fat-burning diet and eat only breasts, then still a couple of times a week, replace the use of white meat with dark chicken meat.

And if you are still panicky afraid of fat, which is contained in dark chicken meat, then you can degrease it a little by skinning it. This will kill two birds with one stone: you will get the minerals and vitamins you need, contained in the meat itself, and reduce the total calorie content of the whole dish.

Method No. 3

Combine chicken breasts and other protein sources

The world does not end with chicken breasts! There are many other dietary protein sources that outperform chicken breasts in terms of their chemical and mineral composition.

This includes various seafood (shrimp, squid, crabs, crayfish, etc.) and lean white fish (cod, hake, pollock, pike perch, haddock, etc.).

If you alternate the use of white meat chicken with seafood, fish and lean beef, then you can not only lose weight or gain muscle mass, but also stay with your teeth and strong bones.

medicines in chicken meat

Nowadays, I think it will not be news to anyone that various hormones and antibiotics are used to raise poultry (mainly broilers).

Hormones allow broilers to grow 2 times faster than this process would occur naturally; and antibiotics protect them from all sorts of diseases and infections, and thereby save large factories from large losses and losses.

It turns out that all industrial chicken meat, whatever one may say, is stuffed with various kinds of medicines, which are by no means vitamins for our body.

And the largest concentration of all antibiotics and hormones is spent on dark poultry meat – these are chicken thighs and drumsticks, while chicken breast accounts for only a hundredth of all these harmful substances.

So, if we consider white chicken meat from the side of the presence of hormones in it, then it wins over the dark one, and if from the side of the content of useful minerals and vitamins, then it loses …

So what to do? – again you ask, – it turns out that you can’t eat chicken at all, since the thighs are full of hormones, and the chicken breast is poor in useful microelements ?! No, you can eat chicken, you just need to know the golden mean that will allow you to eat chicken and at the same time extract only positive properties from it. How can this be done?

1. Heat treatment of meat

Unlike the chemical composition of chicken breast and the content of nutrients in it, which are stable and which we cannot influence in any way, the content of a large amount of medicines in dark chicken meat can still be partially or completely neutralized. And this is done very simply – by heat treatment.

Naturally, no one eats raw chicken, everyone cooks it.Everyone does it differently: someone bakes, someone fries in a pan in oil, someone boils, someone cooks in a double boiler or slow cooker. There are a lot of ways to cook chicken. So, depending on which method you choose, it will depend on whether you can get rid of antibiotics in chicken meat or not.

The fact is that such methods of cooking meat (absolutely any, not only chicken) such as: baking, steaming, grilling, do not destroy the products of microbial decay.

What does this mean? This means that by baking your chicken thighs or wings, as well as steaming them, you do not get rid of the toxic substances that are in them.

All hormones and medications remain safely in the cooked meat, even though the baking temperature can be quite high. In this matter, the cooking temperature does not play ANY role.

To get rid of all the toxic substances that are found primarily in dark chicken meat, since we have already found out that chicken breast is lucky in this regard, and there are practically no antibiotics there, you need to BOOK this meat! It is during cooking that all the harmful substances that meat contains are released into the water.

All other heat treatment methods are not suitable for this purpose!

2. Reliable and trusted sources

And another way to protect yourself from hormone-containing chickens is to buy poultry, preferably raised personally in your village, in your country house or from close relatives. If you are 100% sure that the chicken you buy grew in an ecologically clean area, without the use of medicines, then you can safely eat the meat of this chicken, both the chicken breast itself and other parts of its carcass.

But remember that even if the chicken was grown naturally, this does not mean that the content of minerals and vitamins in its white meat will be higher than in the “doubtful” chicken.

No, the chemical composition of ecologically clean chicken breast will be practically the same as the industrial one, their main difference is precisely the ABSENCE of toxic and poisonous substances.

Therefore, do not indulge yourself with the illusion that chicken breast from poultry is more useful, which means that you can eat it every day, be slim and completely healthy.

Well, I really hope that I was able to describe to you in detail all the benefits and harms of chicken breast . Now you know that eating one skinless chicken breast daily for a long period of time can be a serious reason for the lack of many beneficial elements, minerals and vitamins in your diet.

The benefits of chicken breast are at the same level as its harm, so excessive consumption of white meat can outweigh the scales at any time, and you will already receive not the benefits of dietary meat, but only harm.

To prevent this from happening, diversify your diet as much as possible with other types of meat and fish.

Meat helps to maintain normal levels of testosterone – the main male hormone. And it is the lean meat of chicken that is considered the most important supplier of naturally occurring protein that the male body needs.

In addition to the production of hormones, proteins are needed for:

• stable work of the body;

Women

Chicken is a very nutritious dish. It contains proteins and nine essential amino acids, two of which are the building blocks of muscle during fetal development. At the same time, this meat is low in fat and does not cause obesity, making it a rich source of essential nutrients for a pregnant woman.

Cooking Secrets

Experienced chefs know ways to give dishes a particularly attractive taste and appearance:

To make the chicken broth transparent – place the meat in a saucepan, fill with water so that the meat is covered with liquid, and put on gas.You need to wait until the water boils, then drain the boiled water, rinse the meat, put it back in a saucepan and fill it with clean water. This simple procedure will make the broth clear and free of scale. Add to the future broth: carrots, parsley, celery, leeks and onions, previously slightly fired over the fire of a gas stove. It is this burnt onion that will add color and taste. In addition, the broth should boil at a very low temperature.
2. Chicken chops will remain juicy when fried if the hostess uses eggs and flour, beaten with salt, before placing them in the pan.The meat is dipped on both sides in beaten eggs, then doused in flour and dipped again in beaten eggs (you can use bread crumbs instead of flour). After that, the chop can be fried – it will never be tough.
3. Tender chicken pastroma (meat dish) is very easy to make – prepared and skinned chicken breast must be placed in a saucepan and covered with boiling cow’s milk. Then the pan is immediately closed with a lid and wrapped in a warm blanket for 5-6 hours.After this time, the chicken pastroma will be completely ready for use.
4. Grilled chicken thighs will be softer and more tender if you use not only spices as a marinade, but also 250-300 grams of mayonnaise. Marinade with mayonnaise will add juiciness to the meat and will contribute to the appearance of an appetizing crust on its surface.

Chicken meat enjoys well-deserved recognition in all countries of the world. There are many recipes for delicious and satisfying meals.But an equally important property of chicken is its saturation with vitamins and minerals, which are so necessary for the life of any organism.

The role and benefits of chicken meat in human nutrition

At present, poultry meat is more often prevalent in the consumer basket than beef, horse meat and lamb, due to its price value and taste and useful properties.

It is customary to refer to poultry products as products from poultry meat or mainly from it and meat products in the recipe of which poultry meat is included, even if it is not the main ingredient.

For the production of such products, the meat of chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, quails is used, as well as other food raw materials obtained during the processing of poultry and farm animals and distinguished by their chemical composition.

Table 1

Chemical composition of poultry meat

Chicken meat is one of the most important components of a healthy diet.

A source of high-quality, easily digestible proteins, vitamins, amino acids, minerals, an irreplaceable material for the growth and functioning of any organism, the basis for the prevention of a number of diseases, plus great taste – this is not a complete list of the functions of chicken meat in our diet.

In addition, if we consider that, in accordance with the latest research by scientists, it is poultry meat that provides a full-fledged balance of protein in the body among the bulk of the population of Eastern European countries, then the need for regular consumption of chicken meat becomes even more obvious.

Benefits of chicken meat

Chicken meat is a tasty, nutritious, and at the same time low-calorie product, easily assimilated by the human body. In terms of protein, chicken is superior to beef and lean pork. Chicken meat contains vitamins A, B1, B2, niacin and many minerals.

Chicken meat is a valuable high-calorie dietary product, low in fat and high in protein.

The benefits of chicken meat, light and nutritious, have been known for a long time.Its use in different national cuisines was associated with the effect of restoring strength and strengthening the immunity of seriously ill people. Chinese medicine, for example, strongly recommends that the male half of the population eat chicken every day to increase physical strength.

Protein / amino acids

In terms of its composition, chicken meat is a high-quality, protein-rich product compared to pork and beef. The mass fraction of protein in chicken meat is 22-25%.Protein from chicken meat has a utilization rate of over 71%, while protein from pork and beef, the mass fraction of which is 13–15% and 18–20%, has a utilization rate of 60–70% and 57.4–69.4%, respectively.

Chicken meat is one of the best sources of protein.

In addition, polyunsaturated fatty acids are presented to a greater extent than in other types of meat, due to which it is not only well absorbed by the body, but also helps prevent ischemia, myocardial infarction, stroke, hypertension, and also maintain a normal metabolic level and increase immunity.

Chicken meat contains more protein than any other type of meat, while the fat content does not exceed 10%. For comparison: chicken meat contains 22.5% protein, while turkey meat – 21.2%, ducks – 17%, geese – 15%. There is even less protein in the so-called “red” meat: beef -18.4%, pork -13.8%, mutton -14.5%.

But it should be emphasized that the protein of chicken meat contains 92% of amino acids necessary for humans (in the protein of pork, lamb, beef – 88.73% and 72%, respectively).In terms of the minimum cholesterol content, chicken breast meat, the so-called “white meat”, is second only to fish.

• Chicken fat is absorbed by almost 93% and contains 5-10 times more unsaturated fatty acids.
• Vitamins
• Not only does the human body easily assimilate chicken meat, its special protein compounds can still act like a shock dose of vitamins and therefore help in the fight not only against colds, but also to mobilize the body’s protective functions.
• Chicken is one of the most valuable suppliers of B vitamins: thiamine-B1, pantothenic acid – B3, riboflovin – B, pyridoxine – B6, cyanocobalaman – B12, folic acid and niocin.
• In addition, chicken meat contains a large amount of iron in an easily digestible form, as well as sulfur, phosphorus, selenium, calcium, magnesium and copper. Iron is rich in dark chicken meat located on the legs and legs, and white breast meat is rich in protein
• Table 2
• minerals in chicken meat

Digestive system

Chicken meat is one of the easiest to digest.It is easier to digest: chicken meat has less connective tissue – collagen than, for example, beef.

It is chicken meat that is an important component of dietary nutrition for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, diabetes mellitus, obesity, as well as for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular ailments.

In addition, chicken meat, despite the highest protein content, is the lowest in calories [11].

Appearance

Chicken meat is suitable for the strictest diets.And at the same time, the high protein content makes chicken the best building material for muscles.

Thanks to the dietary protein contained in chicken meat, our body receives essential amino acids, including tryptophan, which is able to synthesize the pleasure (or joy) hormone serotonin. The protein in chicken meat is absorbed by the body better, therefore it is recommended to include chicken in diets for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

In the menu for children, chicken meat should be present daily, as it contains valuable protein, essential amino acids, trace elements and vitamins.

Protein in chicken meat, that is, its content in 100 grams varies from type to type. For example, fried thighs contain about 26 grams of protein, fried breast about 30 grams of protein, boiled breast 29.8 grams, and fried chicken 31.2 grams of protein [3, 11].

The difference in protein content in dark or light chicken meat is negligible, it is any excellent source of protein, but it differs in the content of amino acids in meat.

For example, chicken breasts contain more essential amino acids than dark chicken meat.But this difference is insignificant. In 100 g of dark chicken meat 0.3 g of tryptophan, and in light meat 0.34 grams.

If you don’t know, tryptophan is required for the production of serotonin, which controls mood, sleep and pain perception [13].

Chicken meat is a dietary, easily digestible source of protein and many useful substances. Nutritious and light, it is well absorbed by the human body, high in protein and low in fat. In terms of protein content, chicken meat is significantly superior to lean pork and beef.Chicken meat contains such substances necessary for the human body as:

1. nicotinic acid;
2. vitamins A, B1, B2;
3. minerals.

Chicken meat is an irreplaceable material for the healthy functioning and growth of the body, it is easily digested and charges the body with the energy necessary for vital activity.

The peculiarity of poultry meat is in the minimum content of connective tissue, which determines its delicate consistency and high digestibility and assimilability (the coefficient of its assimilation by the body is 90%).

From the economic point of view, poultry meat is preferable, since the production of products from poultry meat is the most profitable, since the high rate of muscle mass growth per feed unit and early maturity gives the fastest capital turnover.

Based on the foregoing, chicken meat is a dietary product in terms of its quality (it contains less fat and connective tissue compared to beef and pork and more essential amino acids), in terms of physical and chemical properties it is in no way inferior to beef meat.

The bulk of the poultry is used for culinary purposes in the form of natural semi-finished products (whole carcass, boneless and boneless fillets, legs, thighs, etc.). Also, a large assortment of finished products is produced from poultry meat: sausages (ham from poultry meat, boiled and semi-smoked sausages, sausages, breads), culinary products (cutlets, meatballs, pates, etc.), semi-finished products (natural and chopped), canned food (minced meat , pate) and baby food.

90,000 You give a breast: how much protein is in chicken and which meat is most useful

Scientist, Ph.D., certified nutritionist Chris Mohr conducted his own research and came to the conclusion which part of the chicken is the most useful.

Hereinafter – first person speech, on behalf of Chris Mohr .

I conducted a small survey survey, as a result of which I found out: the average American ate approximately 90,079 93 pounds of chicken meat in 2018 ( is just over 42 kilos 92,459). In another survey of mine, 9 out of 10 respondents admitted to eating chicken in the past two weeks. And not just once or twice a week, but several times in one day.What is the reason?

Reason for massive consumption of chicken meat

The main reason the respondents ate chicken meat was: “ Because it’s healthy and nutritious ”. As a nutritionist, I cannot but agree with this: this product is one of the least fatty meats.

What are the beneficial substances in chicken meat?

Yes, chicken is not the richest source of omega-3 . And I did not stand next to tuna, salmon and other “ seafood “.But it has a decent amount:

• phosphorus;
• potassium;
• magnesium;
• iron;
• zinc;
• selenium;
• B vitamins (especially niacin, B6, riboflavin and others).

Ask: Which part of the chicken is most beneficial? My answer to you: breast. Chicken breast is the leader in protein content and the minimum amount of fat.

“The richest part of the chicken is the breast” – Chris Mohr

How much protein is in chicken meat?

100 grams of cooked skinless chicken breast contains 165 calories and 31 grams of protein. But even if you eat meat with the skin, there are still fewer calories and grams of fat in such a dish than in a chicken thigh ( even without skin ): 197 kcal, 30 g of protein and 8 g of fat.

Another “ strong point of ” chicken breast: it is always available in stores.

But that doesn’t mean you should give up chicken thighs. They contain 50% more iron and zinc than chicken breast and even more than lean red meat.
