Eating meat increases your risk for Type 2 diabetes
At this time time, research suggests that regularly consuming red meat is associated with being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and should be avoided. Now research suggests that eating any meat — chicken as well as beef, sausage, pork, lamb, etc. — is associated with developing the condition.
A new study, published in Diabetes, found that eating an additional 100 grams (about 3 ounces) of total meat or red meat daily increases your risk for developing Type 2 diabetes by 33% and 31% respectively. If you’re also eating 1.7 ounces a day of processed meat, your risk of diabetes increases by 46%. Why? It may be that meat is high in saturated fat and cholesterol, which increases your risk for obesity, making you more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes.
Plant-based diets are the healthiest. If you don’t become a vegetarian or vegan, always avoid red and processed meats, and limit your intake of lean, skinless chicken or fish to one 3-6 ounce serving daily. Also, no fried foods. Stick with baked, grilled, steamed or poached. And if you’re worried about getting enough protein, remember there are many plant-based options — including quinoa, chia seeds, beans, legumes, nuts and tofu — that can provide you with all the protein you need.
