According to medical experts, if you want to be healthier, you should reduce your red meat intake. As we said before, red meat can cause a lot of diseases that can be fatal to you. That being said, the explanation is that “red meat can contain high amounts of saturated fat, which is linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes,” says, Warren.

However, the main idea is to avoid eating large amounts of red meat! So, you can try to consume it as rarely as possible and you can also opt for small amounts (namely, between 100g and 200g). 

If you eat red meat, your body will produce Trimethylamine-N-oxid (TMAO), which is a compound that can increase the risk of heart disease. “Researchers believe that it affects the body’s metabolism of cholesterol, which leads to enhanced development of plaque on blood vessel walls, and can increase risk of heart disease,” Warren says.
