About eating meat, there is a saying: four legs are better than two legs, and two legs are better than no legs. Among them, pork, beef and lamb are the representatives of four legs, while fish is the representative of no legs. This is mainly from the fatty acid content and fatty acid composition considerations.
Eat meat order priority fish and shrimp
Fish and shrimp are low in fat and contain more unsaturated fatty acids; poultry is also low in fat and its fatty acid composition is better than that of livestock. Therefore, the general population can give priority to fish and shrimp in the order of eating meat.
Eating meat preferably fish and shrimp does not mean that only fish and shrimp are eaten. The correct order of meat intake is no-legged > two-legged > four-legged.
Not eating red meat at all can lead to iron deficiency
Not eating red meat at all, only fish, shrimp or chicken and duck, can easily lead to iron deficiency in the body, because red meat such as pork, beef and lamb are precisely good sources of iron.
Iron is involved in the transport of oxygen in the body, and plays an important role in maintaining normal hematopoietic and immune functions, lack of which can lead to pallor, fatigue, dizziness, palpitations and iron deficiency anemia.
Therefore, it is not appropriate to eat too much of any meat, and it is not appropriate to not eat any meat. What we need to do is to master the amount, a variety of meat alternately, so as to balance nutrition.
What is the right amount of meat to eat?
One of the simplest way to judge: the length of the two joints of the finger, almost two finger thickness, the size of a piece of meat, about one or two raw weight (50 grams). When cooked, the weight will be reduced, one or two raw meat into cooked meat is about 35 grams.
The average adult, in terms of animal food intake, can eat an average of 40-75 grams of raw weight livestock meat, plus 40-75 grams of aquatic products, and one egg per day.
