Eat enough meat twice a week

It is enough to consume meat twice a week, and on the other days there should be as many fruits and vegetables on the plate as possible, which are also a good source of protein, as well as vitamins and minerals, she said in "Colors of the Morning" on the program TV Vijesti doc. Dr. Snežana Barjaktarović Labović from the Institute for Public Health, on the International Day without Meat.

"In every food we have something that is good and something that is less good or bad. What is bad in meat is the high content of so-called saturated fats. These are the fats that are directly correlated with the frequency of atherosclerosis as the basis below problems in the blood vessel itself, which actually leads to those massive heart and brain events, heart attacks, brain attacks," she explained.

Dr. Barjaktarović Labović says that we need to know what is not food for every day, and what is mandatory to be on the menu every day.

"Meat is definitely not food for every day. You need to make an adequate selection of foods that will not lead to nutritional deficits. Children absolutely do not have to eat meat every day, if during the day meals are composed that contain eggs, milk, fish with plenty of vegetables and fruits ", she pointed out.

According to data from the FAO website, the citizens of Montenegro eat an average of 73 kilograms of meat annually.

"You can guess who the leader is, those who constantly give us recommendations as to what should be done, they are the worst. So, over 125 kilograms of meat is eaten annually per capita in America," she said.
