Chicken is an excellent source of protein and nutrients, including choline, zinc and copper, that help benefit our overall wellbeing. Chicken is considered a lean meat as it's low in fat and high in protein. Chicken also contains vitamin B12 and choline, both of which help promote brain development in children, help the nervous system function properly and aid cognitive performance in older adults. It also contain tryptophan, an amino acid that is responsible for raising serotonin levels in your brain which help promote good mood. Our bodies use amino acids to build muscle tissue, something that is particularly important as we age. Studies have shown that higher protein intake helps to maintain bone mineral density and eating meat that contains amino acids, like chicken, can help build stronger muscles and promote healthier bones, decreasing the risk of osteoporosis.
A rich source of: vitamin B12, tryptophan, choline, zinc, iron, copperr.
