What we eat plays an important role in keeping us healthy in the summer months. Here are a few reasons why you should avoid red meat in the summer.
1
Consuming red meat might make you feel even hotter and more uncomfortable. It takes longer to digest compared to other protein sources.
2
Red meat is jam-packed with protein and demands additional water for digestion. It can heighten your body's water requirements, potentially leading to dehydration.
3
Red meat is heavy and can make you feel sluggish and low on energy. Opt for lighter food choices such as fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can help you maintain higher energy levels.
4
Red meat can be harder for your system to break down. It can result in constipation, especially if your diet lacks sufficient fibre.
5
Red meat is high in calories which can make you gain weight.
