14 Benefits of Goat Kikil For Health

 

For culinary lovers, if you talk about kikil, of course, you will immediately imagine kikil meatballs, kikil satay, kikil salad, kikil soup or other foods that use gravel as a mixture. Well, surely friends already know the shape of the gravel? The gravel is white/yellow in color and is transparent, chewy, and has a slightly slippery texture. We can get this gravel in animals on the legs. Because of the location of the gravel which is attached to the bone, if we take the gravel from the animal, some of the soft bones will also be lifted. This causes some of the gravel to be soft, and some to be slightly hard. Usually, gravel that is used as food is gravel from cows and goats. However, for this discussion, we will review about goat kikil and its benefits for us. Come on, let's continue listening

 

1. Foodstuffs

Kikil has a taste that shakes the tongue when processed into various foods because of its savory taste. Many people like to eat this one food, but not a few also hate it because they are lazy to clean the remaining fat on the plate. Unlike the case with gravel owned by cows, gravel from goats is usually avoided by someone because of its unpleasant smell. However, if the goat is slaughtered and processed in the right way then this smell will not appear. Of course, goat gravel can also be used as food ingredients such as cow gravel.

 

2. Research Materials

There are not many references that discuss goat gravel, the majority of researchers prefer cow gravel as the object of their research. This is possible because the smell of goats is quite pungent. However, that is precisely the opportunity if not so many have conducted research on goat gravel, then goat gravel has the potential to be used as research material. Happy experimenting!

 

3. Increase male vitality

Goat kikil is believed by most people to increase the vitality of a man, so for those who want to increase their vitality, they can consume processed goat kikil. In fact, in Saudi Arabia, the processed "kaware" goat leg soup is a favorite food, especially for immigrants, while the residents of Saudi Arabia themselves don't really like it because the gravel is on the feet and they think it is dirty. How come feet? Well, in the previous review it has been explained that the gravel is on the foot so that most of the edible parts of the goat's leg are of course the gravel.

 

4. Biodegradable Plastic Base Material

Does anyone know what biodegradable plastic is? Surely friends here remember about the government's movement which is now intensively minimizing the use of plastic mainly for shopping because plastic is the number 1 (one) largest contributor of waste in Indonesia. This can happen because plastic waste cannot be decomposed. Well, biodegradable plastic can be used as a solution to overcome the accumulation of plastic waste. Why? This is because of its ability to decompose easily. One of the basic ingredients of this plastic is collagen which of course can also be found in goat gravel.

 

5. Boosts Immune

Like beef kikil, goat kikil also includes foods high in protein. Based on the Duncan test conducted by Miwada, et al, it turns out that goat kikil has a higher protein content than chicken kikil and lower than goat kikil. This shows that goat kikil is quite potential to be used as a protein source. One of the abilities of protein is that it is able to increase a person's immune system, so it is very good to be consumed in uncertain weather like this to prevent virus and bacterial attacks. Thus, goat kikil can also be used to increase immunity.

 

6. Energy Producer

If it's time to eat, and we don't eat right away, our stomach will growl, our head will be a little dizzy and our body will be weak. Why? This is because our bodies lack energy and must be immediately replenished with food intake. Protein, fat, and carbohydrates are substances that can produce energy and of course we can also get these three substances in goat kikil, but with different compositions. The energy producers that we can get from goats are mostly fat and protein.

 

7. Growth and Development

One of the things that we can take advantage of from protein is its ability to help growth and development for children, fetuses in the womb, and adolescents. Not only them, adults who have broken bones are also very good at consuming goat kikil. This can not be separated from the ability of protein that can help in the formation of muscles and bones. Thus, goat kikil which incidentally is a food source of protein can be used to help promote growth and development.

 

8. Improves Nervous System Health

The nervous system functions in coordinating all activities in the body, whether speaking, moving, or feeling pain, all of which cannot be separated from it. If our nervous system is disturbed, the body's coordination will also be partially or even totally disrupted which can lead to paralysis. To prevent this from happening, it is advisable to eat foods high in protein such as goat gravel. However, we need to be careful because goat gravel also contains very high fat so the risk of cholesterol also needs to be considered.

 

9. Role in Cell Transport

As a source of protein, goat kikil can help in transporting cells in the body such as hemoglobin which circulates blood throughout the body through the blood. Not only transport, protein also has the ability to store iron in the liver. Substances like this are very beneficial for the body so that the metabolism in the body can run smoothly. With a smooth metabolism, we can have a healthy body and of course still be accompanied by regular exercise.

 

10. Helps Vitamin Absorption

If we eat food made from gravel like goat gravel, then our plate will stick to very sticky oil. Oil like this indicates that the food contains a lot of fat. Although many people avoid fatty foods for fear of fat or cholesterol, in fact fat is very good for the body, especially it can help absorb various types of vitamins. If there is no fat, the vitamins in food cannot be absorbed by the body, and fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E, and vitamin K.

 

11. Supports Hormone Production

Hormone production in the body can be influenced by the presence of fat and protein in the body. If the food we consume is low in fat and low in protein, the function of hormones in the body also decreases. Although our bodies only need very small amounts of hormones, this one substance is very useful for the body to help certain functions. Hormones in our bodies have various functions, some of which help coordinate cell activities, help produce insulin, help show male characteristics (testosterone hormone) and female traits (estrogen and progesterone hormones). One of the foods that contain high protein and fat is goat kikil.

 

12. Increases Fertility

Of course, after marriage, many want the presence of a new family member, namely the baby. There are couples who just got married and then immediately got children, there are also those who have wanted them for years but have not been given either. This can be influenced by various factors such as heredity, stress, body condition, disease, low fertility or others. One of the substances that can increase fertility is fat which can also be found in goat gravel.

 

13. Helps Maintain Eye Health

Eyes are our window to enjoy the beauty of God's creation, namely the universe. Therefore, it is very important for us to keep our eyes free from various diseases or injuries. We can get healthy eyes by consuming foods that contain lots of vitamins A and B. Not only that, protein also helps maintain eye health by mediating rhodopsin cell responses and still accompanied by a healthy lifestyle. One of the foods that contain protein is goat kikil.

 

14. Prevents Premature Aging

The biggest content in goat kikil is collagen which is the biggest benefit for the skin. Collagen can support the skin so that skin elasticity can be maintained. Elastic skin can reduce the risk of adding wrinkles to the skin. If wrinkles on the skin can be minimized then the skin will look younger. Thus, collagen can help prevent premature aging, including the collagen in goat kikil.

 

Based on the above review, we already know the benefits of goat kikil for our bodies. Besides being useful, excessive consumption of gravel is of course also not good for health. So, whatever the food, whatever the medicine, consume it wisely. Consume it if our body really needs it. Happy reading!
