Why Men’s Health thinks beef jerky is good for you
Beef Jerky
Why you think it’s bad: It’s unhealthy meat that’s loaded with preservatives.
Why it’s not: Beef jerky is high in protein and doesn’t raise your level of insulin—a hormone that signals your body to store fat. That makes it an ideal between-meals snack, especially when you’re trying to lose weight. And while some beef-jerky brands are packed with high-sodium ingredients, such as MSG and sodium nitrate, chemical-free products are available. If you have high blood pressure, check the label for brands that are made from all-natural ingredients, which reduce the total sodium content.
