Red Meat

The Conversation

Red meat refers to muscle meat derived from farm-reared mammals, such as beef, veal, pork, lamb, mutton, and goat. Red meat is a good source of nutrients, especially protein, B vitamins, iron, and zinc, helping your body produce new blood cells and build muscle, bone, other tissues, and enzymes. It’s a popular food choice among individuals following a paleo (paleolithic) diet, which is based on foods believed to be similar to the daily diet of cavepeople.
On the other hand, many studies have linked regular consumption of red meat to a number of health concerns, including digestive problems, heart disease, kidney issues, some cancers, and gout. Red meat is generally higher in purines than white meat and should only be eaten occasionally, especially if you have gout. If you don’t want to experience a severe attack of pain, replace servings of red meat with cooked chicken, cooked fish, eggs, or tofu.
