Russians over 50 advised to give up one product
The doctor told us about a product that we should eat less of as we age.
After 50 years of age, it is necessary to limit the amount of red meat in the diet.
This recommendation was given by endocrinologist and nutritionist Oksana Mikhaleva, reports Gazeta.Ru .
The reason is the high cholesterol content. Red meat leads in this indicator among other types.
Cardiovascular diseases are directly linked to elevated cholesterol levels, the expert recalled.
After 50 years, digestive processes slow down significantly. For example, it becomes more difficult for the body to get rid of carcinogens.
They are also formed during the digestion of red meat. This increases the risk of developing cancer, the endocrinologist warned.
In addition, excessive consumption of this product leads to the development of urolithiasis, gout, and also increases the likelihood of joint damage.
And, of course, excessive consumption of red meat leads to weight gain.
Mikhaleva emphasized that people over 50 years of age should avoid this product in order to strengthen and maintain their health.
Others should not exclude it from their diet, as this type of meat contains substances that are important for the body.
People under 50 years of age can eat dishes made from red meat once or twice a week.
But it is worth choosing a healthier way of cooking. For example, it is not recommended to get carried away with fried meat.
