5 reasons you should eat red meat and why you shouldn't believe past research linking it to cancer, heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes👇 https://t.co/4oaVXA19T9

Health scientists at the University of Washington have analysed decades of research on red meat consumption and the links to various health outcomes.

This has called into question the links made between red meat consumption to cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease & stroke.

The new study says that past research was based on weak evidence and there appears to be no link between eating red meat and health problems like cancer, heart disease, and even stroke.

Here's the summary:

"We found weak evidence of association between unprocessed red meat consumption & colorectal cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes & ischemic heart disease. We found no evidence of association between unprocessed red meat & ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke"

This new research basically dispels any concerns about eating red meat.

According to the researchers at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, hundreds of “lazy” studies have been published with sloppy methods that are full of inconsistencies

5 reasons to eat red meat:

1. Great source of protein.
2. Calorie sparse food that is satiating.
3. Great source of iron.
4. Great source of vitamin B12
5. Contains a wide range of other vitamins and minerals.

1. Great source of protein.

Protein is used for a range of functions in the body, including providing structure to cells, skin and hair growth, in hormones and DNA, and in building new muscle tissue.

Muscle is being lost all the time and protein must be present to replace it.

If there is not enough protein present, sarcopenia will take place over time as you age, meaning you'll lose significant muscle mass leading to poor health outcomes, lower quality of life and reduced life expectancy.

2. Red meat is calorie sparse and satiating.

Leaner cuts of red meat are a very satiating food option that will help you to maintain a feeling of fullness without eating as many calories.

This makes red meat great for supporting a fat loss diet.

3. Great source of iron.

Avoiding meat makes it hard to get enough iron in your diet.

If you have an iron deficiency you may suffer from anaemia, tiredness, shortness of breath, pale skin & heart palpitations.

100g of 95% lean beef contains 27% of your daily iron requirement.

4. Great source of vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is an important nutrient that is needed to form red blood cells and DNA and is also involved in brain and nerve function.

Vegan diets usually miss this key nutrient.

5. Contains a wide range of other vitamins and minerals.

Red meats are highly nutritious foods. Here's an example of the micronutrients that can be found in beef. https://t.co/hhSSz8JbFQ
