Dietitian Mariyat Mukhina: fatty beef can be called the most harmful type of meat for the elderly.
Doctor Mukhina said in an interview about the dangers of fatty beef for the elderly. According to the physician, particles of animal fats are converted in the human body into the so-called “bad” cholesterol, carried by low-density lipoproteins and deposited on the vascular walls. It is in this way that cholesterol plaques are formed in the vessels, which are closely related to the development of atherosclerosis. For older people, whose blood vessels are already not strong, all this can significantly worsen their condition.
“Fatty beef has a high calorie content and can aggravate some diseases,” Mukhina emphasized, talking with Moscow 24.
She noted that the use of such a product contributes to a more intensive development of atherosclerosis, ischemia and vascular accidents. Also, doctor Mukhina warned, fatty beef causes an exacerbation of cholelithiasis in older people
“Because of fatty beef, cholelithiasis and pancreatitis can worsen in the elderly,” the specialist said.
