Turkey Meat
Turkey is high in zinc, potassium, B vitamins, phosphorus, tryptophan, selenium and protein. It is low in saturated fat, cholesterol. It can be a part of a healthy eating plan, especially since it is a good source of protein.
What Are The Benefits of Turkey?
- Turkey is a very rich source of protein, niacin, vitamin B6 and the amino acid tryptothan. Apart from these nutrients, it is also contains zinc and vitamin B12.
- Gram for gram, turkey offers more protein than any other meat.
- Since turkey is low in myoglobin (a protein that gives red meat its color), it is classed as “white meat”
- Turkey contains relatively high amounts of iron, potassium, phosphorus, selenium and zinc.
A Rich Source of B Vitamins
Turkey contains the full range of B vitamins in decent amounts, particularly vitamin B3 (niacin) and B6 (pyridoxine). B vitamins play an essential role in overall health, and they are involved in essential processes ranging from energy metabolism to nerve function and hormone production. Recent research also demonstrates their benefit in several key areas;
- B vitamin insufficiency is associated with depression. Various studies demonstrate that B vitamin supplementation helps to reduce symptoms of depression.
- A recent systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that B vitamins play a critical role in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. B vitamins improved cognition in several randomised controlled trials.
