Nutritionist explains why it is important to eat meat
If a person refuses meat and other animal products, he deprives his body of protein, calcium, zinc and various vitamins. At the same time, immunity decreases.
Animal proteins contain important amino acids. Therefore, you should add meat, fish, eggs, seafood and dairy products to your diet.
If there is a deficit of red meat in the menu, hemoglobin may be lowered. Iron from plant products is absorbed worse.
This statement was made by specialist Oksana Kovylkina, RIA Novosti reports.
She also told how to get useful elements without meat.
The nutritionist recommended including legumes in the diet, which are rich in amino acids. Many useful elements can be found in peas, chickpeas, soy, quinoa, nuts.
Excellent sources of protein include buckwheat, tofu, beans, and so on.
As Kovylkina noted, it is advisable to eat at least one serving of plant protein per day.
