Health Benefits Of Goat Meat

Goat meat has an array of essential nutrients that are important for our growth and development. The potential health benefits associated with goat meat are:

1. Presence of quality proteins 

Goat meat is a rich source of proteins which helps in maintaining muscular health. The essential amino acid profile of goat meat resembles that of chicken, beef and pork. Since goat meat is lean meat, it provides all the essential amino acids without adding up unnecessary calories, unlike other sources of meat.

2. Low in calories

The total calories associated with consumption of 100 g of goat meat are 122; whereas the same portion of chicken has 162 calories, beef 178 calories, and pork 180 calories. Therefore, consuming goat meat helps in regulating weight and prevents obesity. Goat meat also reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases that are associated with obesity.

3. Low level of cholesterol and saturated fats

The total amount of cholesterol present in 100 gram of goat meat is less than 1 gram. Unlike other meats goat meat has low saturated fat and high unsaturated fat values. According to the Harvard School of Public Health consuming low cholesterol reduces the risk of developing heart disease, such as coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis. The consumption of unsaturated fats increases the level of HDL (good cholesterol) in blood, essential for a healthy heart.

4. Rich source of dietary potassium

Goat meat is rich in dietary potassium; 100 g of goat meat has about 385 mg of potassium. The potassium content of goat meat is good for maintaining correct blood pressure. Potassium has a role in stabilizing heart rhythms too. Hence, it reduces the risk of developing rhythm disorders of the heart.

5. Low levels of dietary sodium 

Goat meat is low in sodium content when compared to chicken and beef. 100 gram of goat meat has only 82 mg of sodium. Therefore, consuming goat meat reduces the risk of developing hypertension. According to guidelines by the US Department of Health and Human Services in 2010, the dietary intake of sodium should not exceed 2,300 mg in a day. A high level of sodium in blood can cause hypertension (high blood pressure).

6. Rich source of dietary iron

Goat meat is a red meat, which means that it has high myoglobin content. Meats rich in myoglobin offers a higher level of dietary iron and improve blood health. There are about 3 mg of dietary iron present in 100 g of goat meat. Goat meat can reduce the risk of developing iron deficiency anemia.

7. Presence of vitamin B12 and other micronutrients

Goat meat has micronutrients, such as vitamin B12, selenium, and choline, which are powerful antioxidants that reduce the risk of developing cancers.
