Should We Not Eat Red Meat?

Considering the impact of red meat on health requires caution and balance. While some studies caution against its consumption due to its association with elevated LDL cholesterol levels, others suggest lean red meat in a fiber-rich diet may actually lower LDL and ApoB levels. Recent research spanning nearly two decades found that replacing processed meats with whole grains, nuts, or legumes could significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 36 percent. This underscores the importance of moderating red and processed meat intake while prioritizing fiber-rich foods to manage overall heart health. For those uncertain about their dietary choices, undergoing a blood test to assess LDL particles and ApoB levels is recommended for accurate risk evaluation. We use InsideTracker to test our levels regularly.
