Free-range chicken has well-documented health benefits. There are different chicken parts and methods in preparing healthy-based chicken means. Your darker cuts of meat, such as the drumstick and thigh, have a higher caloric content than your lighter cuts like chicken breast. If you use the skin of the chicken or you fry chicken, this will add saturated fat. Ideally, if you’re looking to switch from red meat to chicken, choose chicken breast since this is the healthiest part of the chicken.
Health benefits
As a substitute for red meats, chicken is a perfect option. It’s a great source of protein and is linked to many health benefits.
Strong Bones and Muscles
Chicken is a lean protein with an excellent source of amino acids. When building muscle tissue, our bodies use amino acids, which is particularly important as we age. Studies have shown that higher protein intake can help maintain bone mineral density. Eating chicken helps build stronger muscles and healthier bones, decreasing the risk of injuries and diseases such as osteoporosis.
Better Mood
Chicken contains an amino acid, tryptophan, which has been linked to higher serotonin levels. While the levels of tryptophan in the chicken are not high enough to make you “instantly feel good”, studies have shown that it can help boost serotonin levels when paired with other factors.
Chicken is also good for your bones, and it will give the perfect boost to immunity.
