Meat Consumption Guidelines
There are more than 70 types of fresh meat, including pork, lamb, veal, beef. Many nutritionists consider meat as food product number 1. But, in addition to proteins, meat contains a large amount of cholesterol, and he, getting into human arteries, can cause blockage of blood vessels.
Below is the amount of cholesterol contained in various meat products (in mg per 100 g).
- Brains – 2000
- Turkey 80
- Duck – 760
- Kidneys – 400
- Beef liver – 600
- Calf liver – 300
- Pork chop – 600
- Veal – 80
- Beef – 110
- Chicken – 80
A person who wants to get rid of excess cholesterol, should avoid all types of fatty meats, including meat with fatty layer. If we eat meat, then lean is better.
Domestic bird
The American market offers six types of poultry. The best of them are chicken and turkey, as they have less fat. Duck and goose have a very large amount of fat and cholesterol, they should be avoided, especially those who have excess cholesterol.
Drinks and water
It is still a controversial question about whether to drink during meals.
Personally, I think that you should always drink between meals and not dilute food entering the body with water. I drink fruit juices, distilled water and hot broths only between meals.
