Meat muscle refers to the edible, dense tissue derived from animals, composed of muscle fibers, water, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. It serves as a rich source of high-quality protein, essential amino acids, iron, zinc, and B vitamins like B12, which are crucial for energy production, immune support, and muscle maintenance. Common in various cuisines worldwide, from grilled steaks in Western cooking to stir-fried strips in Asian dishes, its preparation often influences both health benefits and drawbacks. While lean cuts are celebrated for their nutritional value and low fat content, heavily processed or fatty portions may contain excess saturated fats and sodium, which can increase the risk of heart disease when overconsumed. Moderation, along with balanced preparation methods like grilling or poaching, can optimize its place in a healthy, varied diet. Meat muscle remains a staple food item cherished for its flavor and ability to support crucial body functions.
