Discussions about whether meat is more useful or more harmful to human health are not from yesterday. If meat consumption is reduced to 2-3 times a week, 45,000 lives could be saved in the UK alone.
This was stated by doctors and specialists from the environmental organization Friends of the Earth, quoted by the Guardian newspaper. The authors of the study do not call for a complete cessation of meat consumption, and it should be reduced to 210 grams per week.
The transition to a lower-meat diet will protect 31,000 people from premature death from heart problems, 9,000 from cancer and 5,000 from stroke, the researchers said.
In addition, reducing meat consumption would help save £ 1.2 million for the National Health Service, as well as help stop climate change and deforestation in South America.
In the interest of truth, the assimilation of meat is not the easiest task for the human body. If you eat meat without restriction, an excess of animal protein can lead to calcium loss, urinary tract congestion, an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, and the formation of tumors.
Of course, higher consumption of animal protein can be justified, but with a strenuous exercise. With an inactive lifestyle, the opposite happens - too much protein in the menu will do you more harm than good.
In this case, you may be wondering what is the daily intake of meat that will not harm your body. In adults, the recommended daily dose of protein is 0.6-0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight.
In this case, only half of this norm should be covered by animal proteins, and the other half - by vegetable proteins. This makes no more than 50 g of meat per day.
Eating more than 100 grams of red meat a day can lead to an increased risk of stomach cancer. Therefore, the recommended dose of red meat is 3 small portions per week. The rest of the time, eat white poultry, fish or liver.

Foods That Become Harmful After Overheating
Some foods, which we generally recognize as useful, can completely reverse their positive effects on the human body if overheated. For some products it is important to consume them now. Depending on the product, the harmful effects it may have after being reheated and consumed may be different.
Meat Products Have Become More Expensive By Standard
The State Commission on Commodity Exchanges and Markets announced that meat products according to the Stara Planina standard have become more expensive in the last year. The biggest jump was registered by the minced meat, whose wholesale values increased by 80 stotinki per kilogram.
Tomatoes And Potatoes Have Become More Expensive, Salads Have Become Cheaper
There is a decrease in prices for eggs and fresh green salads after the Easter holidays, according to the State Commission on Commodity Exchanges and Markets. There are two objective reasons for this - on the one hand, most of the retail chains woke up with large unsold quantities of these products, which forced them to lower their prices so that they could sell them before their expiration date.
The Salad Does Not Become Clean Under Running Water
It is good to know how to clean fruits and vegetables before cooking them so that you can turn them into delicious and at the same time safe dishes. Lettuce, for example, does not wash well just under running water. It is best to divide it into separate leaves to immerse in a deep bowl of water (preferably with a little soda or vinegar in it).
