Gastroenterologist, hepatologist Sergey Vyalov told which meat kebab is the least harmful to the liver and why.

We all love kebab, but here our liver doesn't like it very much. This dish is not the most useful in terms of maintaining health.

“When we talk about the usefulness or harmfulness of a product, we first of all consider its fat content. More often, such thoughts arise during cooking, especially frying. The more fats you fry, the more oxidized fats you get from them. And they are harmful to the liver and pancreas,” the doctor explains.
When choosing meat for barbecue, you must first of all focus on its fat content. The leader in fat content is pork – from 30 to 50%! Poultry meat (chicken, turkey), which many consider dietary, contains approximately 20% fat.

The lowest percentage of fat in lamb and beef is only 16%. Consider this when choosing meat for frying.

In addition to fats, we also look at the protein content in meat. Protein is an important resource for our body. The favorites are still the same – lamb and beef, you can still add rabbit meat to them (they contain about 25-30% protein). almost half as much – about 17%.
