Processed Meats Harmful to Your Heart
March 16th, 2010 by admin
Harvard researches have found that eating processed meats can increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes. “Processed” means any meat that has been preserved by curing, salting, smoking or by the addition of chemical preservatives. Specifically meats like hamburger, beef, pork and lamb. Examples of meats to avoid would be bacon, hot dogs, sausage, and processed deli meats. It makes sense when you really think about what’s in processed meats, salt, preservatives, and fat which all contribute to an unhealthy heart. Other health issues that can occur are lung cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, bone cancer and bladder cancer. Do your best to find meats that are free-range organic and processed as little as possible.
