Hochwertige Ernährung

Truthahnfleisch gilt als Quelle hochwertiger Ernährung und niedriger Kalorien. Es enthält praktisch kein Fett oder Cholesterin. Unter den Lipiden machen ungesättigte Fettsäuren einen großen Teil aus. Es ist auch für seinen hohen Gehalt an vollwertigem Protein bekannt. Aus diesen Gründen wird es oft als Fleisch mit hohem Nährwert bezeichnet, das leicht verdaulich und absorbierbar ist.

Nährstoffe, die in Truthahnfleisch vorkommen

Truthahnfleisch enthält große Mengen an B-Vitaminen B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 und Vitamin A. Es ist auch eine reiche Quelle für Zink, Phosphor, Magnesium und Kalium. Zink ist ein wichtiger Mikronährstoff in der menschlichen Ernährung. Es besteht aus vielen Enzymen, die an der Umwandlung von Kohlenhydraten, Proteinen und Nukleinsäuren beteiligt sind. Es bietet gute Bedingungen für Haar, Haut und Nägel, beeinflusst auch das ordnungsgemäße Funktionieren der Fortpflanzungsorgane. In verschiedenen Teilen des Truthahnes finden sich auch geringere Mengen an Eisen, Kalzium und Kupfer. Der Gehalt an einzelnen Nährstoffen hängt vom Teil der Tusche ab.

Notwendigkeit des Verzehrs von Truthahnfleisch in der Ernährung von Sportlern

Protein ist ein entscheidender Bestandteil der Ernährung jedes Menschen und insbesondere in der Ernährung von körperlich aktiven Menschen. Jede Form von körperlicher Aktivität führt zu einem erhöhten Proteinabbau, der ausgeglichen werden muss. Darüber hinaus fördert Protein die Regeneration des Körpers nach dem Training und die Steigerung der Muskelmasse. Je länger und intensiver das Training, desto mehr Protein benötigt der menschliche Körper. Truthahnfleisch enthält hochwertiges Protein. Es enthält alle lebensnotwendigen Aminosäuren, die der Körper nicht selbst herstellen kann. Darüber hinaus ist Truthahnfleisch sehr leicht verdaulich und belastet das Verdauungssystem nicht.
