Now, it can be very easy to overindulge in some of our favourite<br />foods, but maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle when it comes<br />to food plays a huge part in our overall health. And according to the<br />latest research from Harvard University, it could be time to reassess<br />our red meat intake.<br /><br />The research from Harvard University has found strong links between<br />eating a lot of red meat, and developing type 2 diabetes. The data,<br />which was pulled from over two hundred thousand participants,<br />discovered that those eating the most red meat had a 62% higher risk<br />of developing<br />the condition, with processed red meat posing a greater risk.<br /><br />It is suggested that those looking to optimise their health and<br />well-being should limit themselves to one serving of red meat per<br />week, and instead opt for healthier sources of protein the rest of the<br />time, like nuts and legumes, such as beans and lentils.<br /><br />Even dairy is seen to be a healthier option compared to red meat. Type<br />2 diabetes can have serious consequences and some people don't even<br />know they have it. The advice to lower the risk is to maintain a<br />healthy weight and eat a healthy diet.<br />
