July 24, 2022  23:42

People with metabolic and excretory system disorders, as well as those with cholesterol and cardiovascular system problems should not consume meat. Nutritionist and dietitian Irina Pisareva told this to URA.RU.

"Meat is not recommended for people who have metabolic illnesses because it is a high-protein food. If the kidneys are not working well and cannot excrete uric acid, it can have a negative effect on the body. Therefore, people with excretory system and kidney illnesses should be careful and control their diet," Pisareva said.

The specialist noted that in the case of certain illnesses, only certain types of meat should not be consumed. For example, eating fatty meat is not recommended in case of having high cholesterol or cardiovascular problems. The diet may include turkey, chicken, or lean beef.

Pisareva stressed that it is necessary to consult a doctor in order to adjust the diet.
