Chicken is the most popular of white meats.  It’s inexpensive and quick to prepare.  Plus it can be served in a variety of ways (chicken pepper soup, stews and delicious native soups are just a few favorites.) 

1.   Rich in Protein –  It’s a great source of lean, low fat protein which contribute to muscle growth and development.  That protein also helps support a healthy body weight and aids weight loss.

2.   Good for the Heart  –  Eating chicken breast suppresses and controls a body’s homocysteine amino acid levels which, if too high, can lead to cardiovascular disease.

3.   Plenty of Phosphorus  –  They’re rich in phosphorus, an essential mineral that supports your teeth and bones, as well as kidney, liver, and central nervous system function.

4.   Abundant in Selenium  –  Provides this essential mineral involved in metabolic performance  in other words thyroid, hormone, metabolism, and immune function.

5.   Boosts Metabolism  –  Vitamin B6 (or B-complex vitamins) in chicken will keep blood vessels healthy, energy levels high, and metabolism burning away calories so you can manage a healthy weight..
