Lamb: A Nutritional Powerhouse for Brain, Skin, and Overall Health

Professor Borquia: Lamb Meat Prevents Depression and Benefits Nerve and Diabetes Patients

Contrary to popular belief, lamb meat is considered one of the best red meats that humans can consume, as it contains numerous essential elements for the body, according to Professor Amal Borquia, an expert in the field of medicine and the author of numerous books and publications.

According to this doctor, lamb meat is distinguished by remarkable health benefits, including being an excellent source of high-quality, rapidly absorbed iron, surpassing other sources like chicken or fish.

She further explained that lamb meat is excellent for central nervous system health, as it is a good source of vitamin B12, essential for red blood cell production and nerve cell health. It also maintains skin health and beauty, prevents depression and mood swings.

It is also a source of vitamins B6, folic acid, and choline, in addition to its importance in healthy homocysteine metabolism and preventing its accumulation in the body, as it constitutes a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

Among these benefits, Professor Borquia adds, lamb meat is high in the Vitamin B family, such as B6, which plays a significant role in the production and release of antibodies and immune cells, and B3, which helps the body utilize energy extracted from food and is essential for nervous system function: B2 and B5.

Lamb meat is also rich in folic acid, necessary for amino acid production and fetal spinal cord growth. It also supports immune strength, as a high level of zinc is crucial for building strong immunity.

The matter does not stop there, adds the President of the Keli Association, as this meat is a rich source of healthy fats such as Omega 3, and it contains anti-inflammatory fatty acids.

It is also distinguished by being a complete protein, as it contains all the essential amino acids that the body needs and cannot synthesize internally. It is also a source of rare elements: copper and selenium, which is an antioxidant that protects cells and fights premature aging.

Finally, Professor Amal Borquia says in a statement to the MAP agency that lamb meat is healthy for diabetics, as most of its fat is external and easy to remove, and its carbohydrate content is almost zero.

It is noteworthy that in the literature on the consumption of livestock meats, especially lamb or ram, there are always discussions at the community level, with a great focus on the nutritional and health benefits of these meats, as well as their potential harms.

Arming oneself with the accurate knowledge provided by specialists and experts is what cuts off all doubt and makes every meat consumer fully aware of their body's needs, far from rumors that are often spread without foundation.

And since the occasion calls for it, the consumption of sacrificial meat, which is often made up of rams, requires accurate information so that each consumer is aware of what they are consuming.
