The Science
Beef chuck is high in total fat (6% DV per 100g) and contains no fiber, which can contribute to weight gain and worsen blood pressure control. While it provides potassium (8% DV) and magnesium (5% DV) that may help blood pressure, the lack of fiber and high fat content outweigh these benefits for hypertension management.
Recommendation
Limit consumption of beef chuck and choose leaner protein sources like skinless poultry, fish, or legumes, while increasing fiber-rich vegetables and whole grains.
