Which barbecue is the least harmful to the liver

A gastroenterologist, a hepatologist told which meat kebab is the least harmful to the liver and why.

We all love barbecue, but our liver does not like it very much. This dish is not the most useful in terms of maintaining health.

"When we talk about the usefulness or harm of any product, we first of all consider its fat content. Most often, such thoughts arise during cooking, especially frying. The more fats are fried, the more oxidized fats are produced. And they are harmful to the liver and pancreas," the doctor explains.

When choosing meat for barbecue, you must first 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%. Keep this in mind when choosing meat for roasting.

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 also add rabbit meat to them (they contain approximately 25-30% protein).

Poultry and pork have almost half as much protein - about 17%.
