Today’s topic, beef. Beef has had its fair share of bad repo from the health perspective for a very long time now. Such complications associated with beef are ‘uric acid’, ‘gout’, ‘cholesterol’, etc. The thing about red meats that we don’t hear are that it is loaded with Vitamin B12 (which protects the heart against heart disease) along with turning fats and protein into energy, Zinc (which is an essential mineral for growth and development, brain function, reproduction ‘male hormone’, skin health, and our immune systems), Vitamin B6 (which keeps us happy, keeps oxygen circulating throughout our bodies, and reduces heart disease), Niacin B3 (which plays a vital role in our energy production), Phosphorous (which is required by every cell in our bodies to work normally), Iron (which boost hemoglobins, reduces fatigue, improves concentration and in my case since I have congenital anemia, helps with that too). I’ve been using red meat thanks to my bro @walter.viking advice towards 6 weeks prior to my show and even though I was in a strict caloric deficit, my muscles were fuller, I felt more energy and less fatigue as to when I was previously without it. Now, go eat your red meat.

很努力的學種 beet ，昨晚夢中也在背書 😶

BEETS /// I want to highlight a few factoids about beets & why you should make an effort to eat them, especially in pregnancy.
.
Not only do beets have a respectable amount of folate & potassium, but they’re rich in a special nutrient called betaine. Ever heard of it? It got the name because it was first isolated from beets. Betaine’s fancy chemical name—and how find it in supplements—is trimethylglycine (TMG).
.
What does betaine have to do with pregnancy? Whelp, it’s a cofactor for methylation, just like folate, choline, glycine, B6, and B12. That means it’s essential for ensuring your baby’s DNA is formed properly (#epigenetics!). It’s also needed to keep inflammation down, which is a vital for placental health & preventing #pregnancycomplications.
.
Betaine is a metabolite of choline (see my recent post on choline; still linked in bio), but in pregnancy, choline metabolism favors a different pathway to help supply the baby with enough phosphatidylcholine & sphingomyelin (cell membranes, myelin, lung surfactant, bile lipids, etc.) and for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
.
Thus, when choline (or betaine) intake is low, these nutrients are less likely to aid methylation and more likely to go to higher priority tasks.
.
This isn’t a bad thing; your body is smart. Nutrients work in synergy to try to make up for any “holes” in your diet. However, there is data showing that higher maternal choline & betaine status at 16 weeks of pregnancy is significantly associated w/ better infant cognitive development (interestingly, maternal folate & B12 status were not significant).

To ensure adequate levels of betaine, you first want to prioritize getting enough choline (eggs!). More choline = adequate levels of #betaine.
.
Second, get more betaine directly from #beets, #spinach, #quinoa (note these 3 are all from the same food family - weird, right?), certain whole grains, & some shellfish.
.
Betaine concentrations in whole grains are quite a bit lower than the first 3 foods listed, but can still contribute to your intake. If the first trimester has/had you eating more grains/bread than usual (#nausea + #foodaversions), maybe this will put your mind at ease!
