A new study suggests that the lean beef may be slightly less disruptive for the intestine microbyota than the white-meat chicken, although the differences were minor and further research was required.
While it is well established that foods such as fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fermented dairy products can promote beneficial intestinal bacteria, high diets, fat and sugar in meat are often associated with low microbial variety.
However, many previous studies compared meat-content diets to vegetarian people-and rarely differentiate between types of meat.
The study claims that vegetarians are called ‘importance’ as ‘ambitious’.
So researchers in Spain asked to analyze that Pirenaka is lean, lean, white-meat chicken compared to cattle, who are indigenous to the Pirenis mountains.
Researchers noticed how two protein sources affected the intestine microbial diversity, which is necessary for digestion, nutrient absorption and immune function.

Published in the magazine molecular nutrition and food research in July, research found that both diets caused a slight change in the intestine microbyota.
While there were no statistical significant differences in overall microbial variety between chicken and beef diet, chicken-based food was associated with a decline in variety, as well as decrease in some beneficial bacterial groups.
In contrast, the beef-based diet showed a slightly less impact on microbial diversity, with only a notable drawback in the abundance of the bacteria group known as chloroflexota. It also appeared to increase the appearance of Bletia, a gene of bacteria that can help protect the obstruction of intestinal mucus and reduce inflammation.

Different chronic health conditions have seen low microbial variety, including inflammatory bowel disease, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity.
“These findings suggest that the integration of lean red meat from beef (Pirenaka breed) in a healthy diet pattern can affect not only intestinal microbyota but also some health indicators,” the researchers wrote.

The study saw 16 healthy individuals, most of them between 18 and 22 years old, who ate lean beef and white-meat chicken at lunch three times a week for eight weeks.
After the five-week “washout period”, during which the participants resumed their normal diet to reset their intestine microbyota, they switched to other meat diets.

Two meats were stew, roasted, grilled and bread. Stool samples were collected at the beginning and end of each diet period.
‘No significant difference’
Researchers highlighted that Pirenaka beef is naturally rich in potassium, zinc and B vitamins, which may have contributed to its relatively gentleer effect on the health of the intestine. Results, he said, other types of beef or prepared meats cannot be applied in different ways.
Studies also depend on self-reported diet intake; The full diet of the participants was not strictly controlled.
Other foods eaten during testing may affect intestinal microbial changes, a limit that authors have accepted.

Additionally, with just 16 participants, the findings should be seen as the initial and is not roughly normal.
Researchers called for large and more diverse studies to detect complex relationships between various meat types and intestinal health.

Hopa Bercoouse, chairman of the Nutrition Department of the Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, said that the research underlines the quality of meat and the importance of moderation within the overall diet pattern. Barkus was not involved in the study.
Conclusions are in accordance with previous research that shows that lean beef can be part of a healthy, balanced diet, a nutritionist.
“Changes in microbyota composition can be seen, but it was a small study and the authors clearly stated that there was no significant difference in overall microbial diversity,” Barocis told Fox News Digital.
“The findings are seen as a concept-generating rather than clinically actionable.”

Shaleen McNell, executive director of Nutrition Research for a registered dietist nutritionist and National Catalans Beef Association (NCBA), reported that Fox News Digital reported that the conclusions are in line with previous research, showing that the lean beef may be part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Federal law requires cattle producers to contribute 1 dollar to cattle sold at the beef checkoff program, which funds beef -related marketing and research initiatives.

“Beef farmers and Ranchers, through the Beef checkoff program, continue to invest in scientific research to carry forward the understanding of the role of beef in health and welfare,” McNell said. “This study can be used to inform future research, as the study authors have suggested.”
