The quick second to protein source aside from beef, is poultry. In this mention, it will be specific to chicken and preferably free-range. Albeit, I also understand about budgets, so there could be inference made to chicken as a whole.

The nitty-gritty science will be presented, but first some general awareness about the health benefits of chicken:

• helps prevent our body from aging prematurely due to stress;
• contains hyaluronic acid, so can hold water in the collagen in order to keep our body hydrated and the skin firm
• is the carrier of the main protein in human muscle – glutamic acid – helping in strength

Good general science stuff? Well for those of us who like numbers, here is the nitty-gritty below.
