Chicken is one of the most consumed food worldwide, both by lovers of a healthy diet and those who love junk food. But if overeating is harmful to health. The reason? Proteins.
Yes, we know that chicken is one of the alternatives offered to avoid eating red meat and that excess of protein that always gives us red meat but it is that people go from one extreme to another and now eat so much chicken that remains the same problem with the "overconsumption" of proteins. The idea is not to stop eating red meat to spend days eating chicken but to maintain a balanced diet, that is, varied and with the right proportions. I always say the same thing, excesses, let's talk about what we are talking about, they are never good. But society never gives up and even make what is good happen to be bad because of going over the line. You have to learn to moderate, to rationalize things and do them in their proper measure. You have to do things with a head and not crazy. You should never exceed anything. In addition, not only affects us in terms of health but also our planet. "There is a perception that protein is good for your health, but I'm not sure where that comes from," says Modi Mwatsama, director of global health at the UK Health Forum. "It's definitely a good marketing strategy." The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends a daily consumption of 50 grams of proteins for adults and is consuming much more than recommended. Duncan Williamson, food advisor at WWF, the conservation NGO, says. "Some people do not realize they can get protein from plants and fish," he says. "We have to eat less protein and a greater variety of sources." That's right, a lot of people believe that they can only get protein from the meat and stopband other foods that would also benefit, and not only that, but also change that mentality that proteins are very good and against more best. I do not say that they are not good because they are necessary but in the right amounts, more is harmful. The only thing that could be good (but deceptive) of all this is that you no longer eat so much red meat you actually eat more white than red meat, but because those who change their type of meat eat too much white. Ideally, since more red meat was consumed than white meat and even more if meat was also reduced to increase the consumption of vegetables and fish. Comments are closed.
