Doctors do not recommend giving up meat completely.

In an interview with Izvestia, hepatologist Sergei Vyalov explained why one should not completely exclude animal products from one’s diet.

Meat contains important amino acids and microelements that are simply impossible to obtain from plant foods.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account that for good health a person needs one gram of protein per kilogram of weight.

The doctor also noted that it sometimes happens that a person simply does not want to eat meat.

This may be a signal that there are problems with the gastrointestinal tract, which means that it would not be a bad idea to seek advice and get tested.

When a person gives up meat because of beliefs, he or she must first consult a doctor and undergo an examination to understand that such a diet will not cause harm.

The lack of vitamins and amino acids will have to be compensated for with the help of special preparations.
