Although the global rise in meat prices will limit the ability to purchase it during the expected Eid al-Adha, this religious occasion witnesses an increase in its consumption compared to normal days, which may cause health problems.
Many people are under the illusion that increasing the amounts of meat that humans eat means quality in food and an improvement in health, but Dr. Bahaa Naji, a clinical nutrition consultant, corrects this idea during his interview with Sky News Arabia, by specifying the amount that the human body actually needs.
Once a week is enough
Naji says that it is enough for the body to eat meat (beef, lamb, camel) once a week or even once a month.
This nutrition consultant explains:
These types of meat contain the highest percentage of calories and fats of all types of proteins. It contains the highest percentage of amino acids that are converted into “uric acid”; Therefore, excessive consumption leads to arthritis, pain in the body, bloating in the large intestine and colon pain, and the kidneys may be affected, leading to kidney failure.
How do we avoid damages in the feast?
Holidays and events are associated with breaking food rules and restrictions, even for many who are committed to reducing its quantities. Therefore, most people increase the amount of meat they eat, especially on Eid al-Adha, for at least 3 and 4 consecutive days.
Here, Dr. Naji advises these matters:
Eating meat on Eid is once a day, and in a small quantity. Drink mint, anise, talio and sage herbal drinks throughout the day to reduce the damage. It is also recommended to drink hibiscus without sugar or with a healthy sweetener to counter the possibility of high blood pressure. Eat fruits because they contain a high percentage of potassium, which is equivalent to sodium. As too much meat may increase the proportion of sodium to a degree that causes water retention inside the body. Drink plenty of water, between 2-3 liters per day, provided that the water is cold; Because warm water contributes to the emergence of diseases in conjunction with excessive meat intake. For people with heart and arterial diseases, it is recommended that a piece of meat per day on Eid not exceed 150 grams, and those who are overweight and diabetics should avoid eating fatteh and tortillas because they contain a high percentage of carbohydrates and calories.
