Red meat refers to meat that comes from mammalian muscle, such as beef, pork, lamb, and veal. While red meat can be a good source of protein and important nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, it has also been linked to an increased risk of health problems like heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer. To promote optimal health and wellbeing, it is recommended that individuals consume red meat in moderation and choose lean cuts whenever possible. Plant-based protein sources like beans, lentils, and nuts can also be a healthy and sustainable alternative to red meat.
