Enjoying a sizzling sirloin or tasty T-bone could be the best prescription for your heart.
Reporter Sarah Gustin has more on a diet that says red meat does a body good.
When you think of dieting, fruits and vegetables probably come to mind, but results from one diet study prove you can have your steak and eat it too.
Nancy Jo Bateman / ND Beef Commission: "One of the most exciting studies that we have come out with this past year is called the BOLD study. Those are initials for Beef in an Optimal Lean Diet."
Recently the well known DASH diet was put to the test.
The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet limits red meat intake to one ounce per day.
While the new BOLD Diet --Beef in an Optimal Lean Diet--increases that serving to 5.4 ounces everyday.
Researchers found that those eating more beef still lowered their cholesterol by the same ten percentage points.
Joan Nagel / St. Alexius LRD: "They tested labs and they tested weights and overall they noticed a generalization, a 10% decrease in total cholesterol and also the LDL cholesterol, which we kinda label as the bad cholesterol. 10% is pretty significant in reducing that."
If your wondering which one of these cuts to grab off the shelf, there's plenty of choices.
