One of the main reasons is the impact of red meat, including beef, on cardiovascular health. According to the World Health Organization, consuming too much red meat is a risk factor for cancer, especially colorectal cancer. Beef is rich in saturated fat, which can increase blood cholesterol levels, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Although chicken is less fat than beef, consuming too much can also bring certain harmful effects. Consuming processed chicken such as fried chicken or chicken sausage can increase the risk of digestive-related cancers. This is because the processing of chicken can create carcinogens.
In addition, April is the time when the body needs to strengthen the immune and detoxification system, especially after winter when the body can accumulate toxins. Limiting the consumption of red meat and poultry during this period will help reduce the burden on the liver and digestive system.
A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, fiber-rich foods and low in meat will help the body easily detoxify and improve health in the changing seasons.
