Mistake when eating beef many people have

Do you usually eat beef in the morning or evening? Beef is rich in iron so anyone can eat it to replenish minerals - is this true or false?

Master, Doctor Dzoan Thi Tuong Vi (former Dean of Nutrition Department, Hospital 198) shared the benefit and harm information of beef meat through the following article.

Do not eat beef in the evening

Beef is a very nutritious food, especially vitamins B6, B12, iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium . In it, iron is very beneficial for health because it transports oxygen to muscles through the Red blood cells, help the body feel full of energy. Iron also plays an important role in the activity of the liver, promoting the liver to work better and more effectively. In addition, iron tightly controls blood sugar levels, helping to prevent high blood sugar levels. Under normal liver conditions, iron is a very beneficial element for health.

However, Dr. Tuong Vi recommends that you do not eat beef in the evening. Many people believe that beef is not fat, so often eat dinner for weight control. This is a mistake many people make, because the abundance of iron in beef will enter the body and "squeeze" the liver to function, while the liver is in need of rest. This will interfere with the biological clock of the liver leading to abnormal blood sugar consequences. If this happens regularly, the body will be at risk of diabetes and many other chronic diseases.

In addition to beef, other iron-rich foods such as dark green leafy vegetables, beans, and dried fruits such as dried apricots and raisins should not be eaten at night.

Not eat much

Associate Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duy Thinh, a member of the Institute of Biotechnology - Food Technology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, also said that beef is very nutritious and high in protein. However, this type of meat is classified as red meat and should not be eaten much. In the world, it is recommended to limit red meat.

Further explanation of this, Dr. Tuong Vi said: "Not red meat is bad for everyone. They are just not good for some metabolic disorders, also called transfer syndrome. chemistry including diabetes, overweight, obesity, dyslipidemia, gout.

Because a diet high in red meat will cause the body to have excess purines, this substance will be converted into increased uric acid to produce urate crystals, which are deposited in the kidneys, causing kidney stones and joints will cause arthritis ".

Dr. Tuong Vi also said that each type of meat has its own uses and limitations. If used appropriately, they will help our bodies stay healthy. But if abused, whether white or red meat, they are equally likely to cause health damage.

Doctors worry that in recent years, the eating habits of Vietnamese people have changed significantly. The amount of animal meat, processed meat and fat has increased very fast in the diet of Vietnamese people. In addition, the frequency of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, complications and obesity in our country is increasing at an alarming rate.

Therefore, experts recommend that people should enhance fresh, natural foods, supplement fiber, meats from poultry and seafood. Especially need to diversify daily food sources.
