It is often said that you are what you eat, so a healthy person should expect to eat healthy food. Our nutrition should be based on our health needs or even health challenges. For example, diabetic patients are advised to consume foods with low glycemic index. You should not just eat whatever you feel like, whenever you feel like. This goes especially for one of the most consumed food, meat. I love meat, and am very sure you do too. It is delicious and we always look forward to eating it except you are a vegetarian or vegan. But as tantalizing as meat can be, there are some types of it that are unhealthy for us. In this article, we'll look at 5 unhealthy meats that you should avoid eating. Most of these meats are processed meats and they contain harmful substances.

Hot dogs

Hot dogs are highly processed meat, and are very unhealthy. Hot dogs are made with chicken, pork and steak trimmings that are added with additives like salt and corn syrup, which make them bad.

A single hot dog contains 410mg of sodium, because it contains high amount of salt used for preservation. Consuming such meat can increase the risk if getting hypertension and heart diseases.


Organ meat: Liver

Liver, in this context is an organ meat, found in animals. There are many other organ meats, we consume, but the liver is widely consumed and very unhealthy.

Remember that the liver is an excretory organ that rids the body of toxins. So, when you consume liver meat, you are ingesting the toxins as well. This can be harmful the body, and people with cholesterol problems should avoid liver or other organ meat.

Bacon

Bacon contains a lot of calories, 60 percent of which are unhealthy fat. This explains why 30g of bacon contains 30 milligrams of cholesterol. Bacon is bad for people with heart diseases and stroke. It also contains a very high amount of sodium

Corned beef

Corned beef is a widely consumed processed meat and is often used as an ingredient in salad. However, corned beef is unhealthy, not just because of the way it is processed but the way it was made.

Corned beef contains a lot of calories, saturated fat and sodium. When bacon is fried, it forms a substance called nitrosamine. Studies show that nitrosamines may increase the risk of stomach and bowel cancer.

Fried catfish

Fried catfish is often processed by deep frying under high temperatures. Most foods that are preserved or prepared under high temperatures are said to produce carcinogens that lead to cancer.

Catfish also contain harmful toxins like mercury and lead, because live near the bottom of the water.

Conclusion

A healthy person will eat healthy food and avoid or reduce the intake of unhealthy ones. They're a lot very healthy meats you can eat. So don't feel like you are limited, learn to make healthy choices, so you can be healthy.

kuku say make we no eat meat again

I Can't laugh alone jare, oya join me.
My neighbor was sick and invited a native doctor.
I warned and pleaded with him, begged him to
wait for God's time but he refused, So I left him.
He went inside his house with the native doctor,
so after the native doctor finished doing his
enchantment, he told my neighbor that the
sickness is incurable but can be transferred to
another person and my neighbour greedily agreed.
The native doctor then told my neighbour that the
1st person that will enter his house, he should
shout "taarh" and the sickness will transfer to the
person and the person will die, except d person
reply with retaarh to backfire. my neighbour
agreed and the native doctor left in a hurry,
forgetting to collect his money for the service he
had offered. My neighbour sat down in his parlour
and kept his door open waiting for the first victim
that will pass through that door. The native
doctor then remembered that he forgot to collect
his money and decided to go back and collect it.
Immediately the native doctor entered, my
neighbour shouted "taarh" and the native doctor
shouted "retaarh" and my neighbour shouted
again “reretaaarh" the native doctor replied
“retartartarh".
This noise started since yesterday morning and
up till now they are both shouting “rerererererere
rererererererererereretaaaaaaaaarrrhhhh"...
Who will stop and die for who?
