Don't see Red with Red Meat

Have you stopped eating red meat as you have been advised by most experts due to its associated risks of heart attacks, cancers and so on & so forth? A recent study indicates eating red meat in moderation combats depression and anxiety among women. Dr.Felice Jacka, Associate Professor, Psychiatric Research Unit, Deakin’s University investigated link between red meat eating & presence of depressive & anxiety disorders in more than 1000 women from Geelong region, Australia.

It was originally thought that red meat might not be good for mental health, as most studies found it to be associated with health risks. The study found that women not eating red meat or less than recommended amount were two times more likely to have been diagnosed with depressive & anxiety disorders, compared with those consuming red meat in recommended amount regularly. She has a specific suggestion, asking people to stick with grass-fed meats as far as possible. The good effect is due to the proteins in the red meat.
 

Next time you see red meat, don’t see red, sit back & enjoy.
