Some people experience symptoms such as hives, digestive problems and abdominal pain, breathing problems. Such ailments appear up to 8 hours after eating meat. But beware – not everyone is allergic will experience such symptoms, unfortunately.
Za all this embarrassment corresponds to an allergen called alpha-Gal it belongs to complex carbohydrates. Contact with it stimulates certain immunological processes, which consequently lead to the build-up of atherosclerotic plaque in blood vessels. It has also been proven that atherosclerotic plaque in people hypersensitive or allergic to red meat, it is characterized by a smaller amount stability, and this means a greater risk of it causing a muscle infarction heart or stroke.
An (in) beneficial immunoglobulin
Jak to recognize allergic processes associated with red meat consumption?

Grunt, is to base the diet on – as the scientists carrying out above described also say study – large amounts of vegetables, fruits, whole grains. For these, who have no problems with either allergies or atherosclerotic lesions, limited amounts of red meat are allowed. What? Preferably up to two times a week. In addition, implementation should be part of a healthy lifestyle exercise, reduce alcohol and quit smoking cigarettes and then even allergy to red meat does not scare us.
