The risk from red meat

A chemical found in red meat recently helped explain why eating too much meat, minced meat and Bacon back harmful to cardiovascular health. The study by scientists at the Medical Center in Cleveland (USA) showed that the cacnitin substance in red meat was broken by the bacteria in the gut. This triggered a chain reaction increases blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

In the experiments on mice and humans, the scientists found that the bacteria in the intestines can feed cacnitin substances. Then, the substance decomposes into a kind of gas is the liver metabolism of other substances into a named TMAO. The research team found that the TMAO substances related to the process of accumulation of fat in the blood vessels, one of the top causes leading to cardiovascular disease and mortality.

Dr. Stanley Hazen, who headed the research, said: the substance can only TMAO is a product due to the waste body, but it has the influence to to metabolism of cholesterol and cholesterol buildup in the blood-making ".

The research also found that eating red meat often can be harmful for the heart because this meat contains more saturated fat. So the scientists recommended people should eat less red meat than to protect health. "Research shows that eating less red meat would be better for your health. I usually eat red meat 5 days/week, but now I have reduced the frequency of eating red meat down on 1/2 weeks, "said Dr. Stanley Hazen said.

He also advised people should use yoghurt bacteria benefit to do balance the bacteria in the intestines and helps reduce the amount of bacteria that eat cacnitin, from which the reduction of the harmful effects on health by eating red meat.

Increase the risk of cancer

Researchers have watched thousands of adults in nearly 20 years and discovered those who eat animal protein-rich mode then likely died of cancer four times higher those who eat less protein. This higher rate of near equal to the risk of developing cancer when smoked 20 cigarettes per day.

The study previously showed the relationship between red meat and cancer, but this is the first time the study measured the risk of death caused by the often eat too much protein.

The advice of traditional nutrition often focus recommended cutting fat, sugar and salt. The World Health Organization will publish a new guide the consultation should limit sugar consumption but have very little warning about misuse of protein.

U.s. researchers found that people who have diets rich in protein will increase 74% likely died from various causes during the study period than those who ate the least protein. The rate of these people die of diabetes also higher several times.

Experts recommend that we should not eat too 300-500 g of red meat (beef, pork, veal ...) each week. Instead of eating red meat, eat more fish and poultry.

Processing and eating healthy:

Do not eat much red meat, ideally eat 2 times a week (every time the feed rations from 100-150 g).

The way of processing is also important: avoid fatty sauces as well as charcoal grilled meat dish or oven. Better boiled meat, stew meat, or meat but fried with olive oil.

In particular, should regularly change the taste. Beef, pork, veal or horse meat ... are brought to you the different nutritional value.=
