About Red meat

Red meat refers to mammalian muscle meat, commonly sourced from beef, lamb, pork, and venison. It is rich in high-quality protein, essential for building and repairing tissues, and is a valuable source of iron, particularly heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the body. Additionally, red meat provides key nutrients like zinc, vitamin B12, and creatine, important for immune function, energy metabolism, and muscle health. Found across various cuisines worldwide, red meat serves as a central ingredient in dishes like stews, roasts, and barbecues. While moderate consumption offers nutritional benefits, excessive intake of red meat—particularly processed varieties—has been linked to increased risks of heart disease, certain cancers, and other chronic conditions. Lean cuts and mindful portion sizes can help balance its health advantages with potential risks, making it a versatile but cautious addition to a well-rounded diet.
