Beef and pork are the two most common types of red meat in Vietnamese cuisine. However, both types of meat can be further categorized into different cuts, such as sirloin, shoulder, rump, and leg. Many people wonder which cut of meat between these two animal sources is the healthiest.
The Best Cut of Beef for Health
According to Dan Tri Newspaper, citing Aboluowang, the following six cuts of beef are considered the healthiest: beef shank, hind shank, fore shank, front shank, fore shin, and beef tenderloin.
Nutrition experts explain that these cuts of beef have the best energy and fat content. Additionally, they are excellent sources of iron.

The Best Cut of Pork for Health
According to an article on the Hong Ngoc Hospital website, pork is divided into two types: lean meat and fatty meat. Fatty pork contains high levels of fat and low levels of protein, and consuming too much of it can lead to obesity or high blood fat.
On the other hand, lean pork is rich in protein and hemoglobin, which helps prevent anemia. Therefore, lean pork is considered the healthiest option.

Red meat, including pork and beef, offers a significant amount of calories and superior nutritional value. However, excessive consumption can lead to health risks such as protein excess and high cholesterol.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the American Institute for Cancer Research recommend limiting red meat consumption to no more than three times per week. The total amount of red meat consumed per week should be around 350-500 grams after cooking (equivalent to a maximum of about 700 grams of raw meat, excluding bone weight). On a daily basis, red meat intake should not exceed 70 grams/day (cooked meat) or approximately 100 grams/day of raw meat, excluding bone weight.
The recommendation also suggests favoring lean meat and incorporating poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products into your diet as alternatives to red meat to ensure sufficient protein and trace mineral intake.
