Healthy Beef Snacks: Hearty, and Heavenly

The Importance of Healthy Beef Snacks and the Dilemma of Unhealthy Choices

Yebo’s Healthy Beef Snacks should be the choice of your next healthy protein go-to snack, with Biltong, Droëwors, and Biltong Bites. According to Abraham Maslow’s oft-cited Hierarchy of Needs, the most basic and fundamental of human needs are physiological in nature; i.e. shelter, air, water, and, of course, food. These are essentially the building blocks of our survival as a species. Without those things, we probably wouldn’t have been writing this article, and you wouldn’t have been here reading it.
Most of us require at least three square meals a day – breakfast, lunch, and dinner – in order to sustain energy and overall physical functioning and health.
However, due to a more demanding lifestyle requiring greater amounts of energy, changing nutritional needs, and simple cultural and societal norms, sticking to the main meals sometimes just won’t cut it, and even leading dieticians and nutritionists are extolling the virtues of snacking.

The Benefits of Healthy Beef Snacks

According to nutritionist Martha Gonzales, snacking can be a valuable addition to our diet, providing increased nutrient intake, sustained energy levels, and healthy options. However, the prevalence of unhealthy snacks poses a challenge. These sugar-laden, mass-produced options may be cheaper and momentarily appealing, but they lack nutritional value and can lead to various health issues, including high blood pressure, glucose problems, and mental health conditions.

The Risks of Unhealthy Snacks

Now, you don’t have to compromise between satisfaction and health when it comes to snacking. With Biltong, you can indulge your cravings guilt-free. Plus, it’s easily accessible nationwide through the convenient Yebo website. Elevate your snacking experience and enjoy the delectable goodness of biltong, the beef treat that truly can’t be beaten. But let’s face it: the ratio of healthy to unhealthy snacks is disproportionate at best, and there are compelling reasons for this, including that unhealthy, sugar-laden snack foods are much cheaper to mass produce and their transient stimulant qualities tend to make them more appealing to consumers. Because these delinquent delicacies are so full of empty calories, they won’t leave you feeling full for very long, so you’re likely to consume more of them, much to the detriment of your physical and even mental health. A diet filled with unhealthy snacks can leave you suffering from ailments ranging from high blood pressure and elevated glucose to dental cavities and even mental health conditions such as depression. Much as we’d like to turn a blind eye to these unpleasant truths, it’s science – pure and simple.

An article published on the website of The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health states, “[r]egular intake of hyper-palatable snacks that contain added salt, sugar, and fats but that are low in nutrients and high in calories can increase a preference for these types of foods, leading to a change in eating behaviors and diet quality (e.g., a higher intake of hyper-palatable snacks along with a decreased intake of healthful foods”.
