Red and processed meat contains pro-inflammatory compounds. Excessive consumption can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. The WHO has even classified red meat as a risk factor for colon cancer. To limit the harmful effects:
Eat red meat in small amounts (once a week)
Vary your protein sources (fish, white meat, eggs, vegetable proteins)

Eat occasionally. Choose

Prefer dairy products from small animals (goat, sheep).
