WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MEAT AND FISH

# FamilyLifestyleModification

Good morning y'all!  Another sexy day!

Today, we will be discussing all you need to know about meat and fish. It's an important topic because it affects the family as a whole. The irony of this meat issue, is that the wives overfeed their husbands with meat and leave the little ones who need it the most, out of it! #BlameitonCulture

Well, I am writing to let you know that if you are not careful, that meat can lead to your death! So to ensure that we all partake in a long and healthy life, I will help differentiate healthy meat from unhealthy ones.

There are basically 2 categories of meat:

1. Red Meat
2. White Meat

Red Meat includes everything beef. It is dark coloured meat. It ranges from adult mammal to its products such as cow, sheep, ram, beef sausage, ham, intestines, skin, etc. This kind of meat shouldn't be eaten alot. Red meat is sweet, yummy, delicious but sorry to disappoint you, it has been linked to development of cancers, heart diseases, Diabetes, obesity.

Red Meat has a lot of Disadvantages:
1. Increased saturated fat content( this type of fat damages the blood vessels causing atherosclerosis).
2. Decreased natural Trans fat ( this good fat helps reduce bad cholesterol)
3. Increased cholesterol.

White Meat includes chicken, Turkey,  rabbit (people eat this), lamb, veal. This type of meat is usually white when cooked or 'pale and pink' in its uncooked state. This is really healthy. Much healthier than red meat.

Fish is in a class of its own and is the best. It contains almost everything your heart needs to stay healthy (but I am not a great fan of fish). There are different types of fish but the best is or are the 'scaly' ones. There is so much noise about Catfish, whether it is healthy or not. Honestly I don't know but all I can say is that even though it does contain a bit of fat, it is still healthier than red meat.

Methods of Cooking these meat include:
1. Boiling
2. Grilling
3. Steaming
4. Roasting
5. Remember to skin the chicken before cooking it. Helps remove most of the fat content that is stored in and underneath the skin.

Did you notice that I didn't include frying? ...so don't even think it!

N.B I forgot to mention in the last post on 'Salt Intake'...No Added Salt! Meaning that after cooking, don't add salt to your food if you think "the salt didn't come out "! *hehehe*

So there, my luvlies!
