Avoid eating meat once you notice these 5 signs in your body
Eating too much meat, especially red meat, is generally associated with a variety of adverse health consequences, including an increased risk of developing high cholesterol and blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, stroke, an increased risk of developing certain malignancies and type 2 diabetes.
When you first notice any of these symptoms in your body, you should immediately stop eating meat.
1. High blood pressure
If you already have high cholesterol, eating red meat will not help lower your cholesterol levels, it will actually do the opposite and increase those bad values even more.
2. Constipation
For various reasons, eating red meat can make constipation much worse. Because it is low in fiber and high in fat, red meat can increase your risk of constipation because of the interaction of these two nutrients. Your risk may be even higher if you replace red meat with high-fiber foods in your diet.
3. Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Nutritionists have concluded that people who have digestive problems or whose stools are easily irritated should avoid eating red meat because it is difficult for them to digest, especially because they are unable to break down the enzymes in red meat.
4. People with heart disease
A person with heart disease may already have unhealthy plaque buildup in their arteries, and should eat a diet very low in unhealthy fats, such as saturated or trans fats, which can cause even more plaque buildup. This plaque buildup, if it narrows further, can lead to fatal or near-fatal events such as a stroke or heart attack.
5. People with advanced kidney disease
High-protein diets when your kidneys are not working well can do more harm than good. You may need to reduce your protein intake by 0.6 to 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of weight, depending on your kidney function. If this is the case, consult a registered dietitian nutritionist to help you design your diet.
