Lower cholesterol by consuming lean meat
Eating lean meat helps to keep cholesterol levels low. It’s a little news that revolutionizes’ previous theories, in which it was held that in principle it is necessary to limit the consumption of animal protein, especially red meat. Now, however, argues that it can reduce this value. The researchers have demonstrated the Pennsylvania State University (University Park, USA) with a study that compared the consumption of lean meat to the diets to protect the heart. It emerged that are effective in the same way.
Were taken 36 people aged between 30 and 65 years. The volunteers had one thing in common: high total cholesterol and followed four different diets for the amount of meat included. The aim was to monitor the total cholesterol and “bad” (the so-called LDL) in relation to food consumption.
It was found that after just over a month, those who had eaten about 100 or 150 grams of lean meat a day levels of LDL cholesterol and total were decreased by 10%. How do you explain this reaction? Penny Kris-Etherton, coordinator of the analysis, said: “This study shows that the nutrient-rich lean meat can be included in a heart-healthy diet that improves cardiovascular risk factors.” We should not exaggerate and above all we must be very careful how to cook (the fries are bad for example).
