Right now I eat everything. Im 32 yrs old and I jog regularly. I’ve been thinking about eliminating red meat from my diet, but then I know I will eat a lot of fish and foul. Is there a big benefit to my health by eliminating veal, beef, and pork from my diet and substituting that for fish and fowl?

Hey
Eating large amounts of red or processed meat over a long period of time can actually raise colorectal cancer risk. But the risks from such a diet are smaller than those from obesity and lack of exercise, both for colon cancer and for overall health. So if you keep jogging and just have a varied diet i believe this would be fine.
Although i no a guy who doesn’t eat any meats at all and his doctor told him he has never seen such a low colosteral count before. He was pleased to bits.
