Let's make a reservation right away: the answer will be ambiguous. Here is the latest, month-old verdict on this problem: daily replacement of one serving of any meat (pork, beef, veal, lamb and products made from them) with chicken or turkey reduces the risk of developing coronary heart disease by 19% (CHD is the main disease of our time, manifested heart pain, arrhythmia, heart failure, heart attacks and sudden death). Scientists from Harvard came to this conclusion after assessing the results of the Nurses' Health Study, which followed more than 84 thousand female doctors aged 30 to 55 for 26 years.

At first, they were all healthy, but with age, the burden of diseases accumulated, and experts assessed how they were related to diet, lifestyle and other factors. These nurses have already given humanity a lot of advice on what is worth doing in life and what it is better to refrain from. In this latest work, the protection against CHD is not just due to chicken. Scientists have generally assessed how healthier it is to replace meat proteins. After all, one serving a day increases the risk of CHD by 16%, and two – by 29%. It turned out that the best substitute for protein foods is nuts: their daily serving instead of meat reduced the risk of CHD by 30%. Replacing one meat dish with fish reduced the risk by 24%, and low-fat dairy products by 13. As you can see, in this ranking of meat substitutes, poultry ranks second to last, ahead only of cottage cheese, cheeses and fermented milk products.

Breast and legs apart

Of course, in real life it is difficult to replace one meat dish with chicken every day - it quickly becomes boring. And in relation to us, Russians, we need to talk about giving up not only cutlets, steaks and all kinds of entrecotes, but also sausages and sausages - after all, they are also subject to the department meat dishes. There is another Russian aspect that may weaken the usefulness of American advice: chicken here and in the USA are two different products. Remember: why is the chief sanitary doctor Onishchenko fighting only with Bush's legs, and not with breasts or chicken in general? This is exactly what is left for us from the American table. The Yankees prefer the healthiest part of the chicken - the breast (it contains less harmful fats and cholesterol), the legs are sent to us, and the rest is sent to fast food and processing. Please note (see table): skinless breasts contain 11 times less fat than Bush legs and 14 times less fat than wings!

Be like the Yankees

Applied to white meat chicken, so popular in the USA, these numbers can be multiplied by 2 - it is the leanest. Even if you remove the skin from the thighs (it contains the most fat and cholesterol), they will contain 4.5 times more fat than breast meat and 9 times more fat than white meat. In terms of the content of harmful cholesterol, Bush legs are in the lead, and in the breast and fillet from it there is little of it, but healthy proteins a lot of.

In a word, we need to learn to love American-style chicken - not juicy, but dry and without crispy crust. In terms of harmful substances formed during cooking, chicken is not much inferior to meat: when high temperature it also produces carcinogenic heterocyclic amines and harmful end products of glycolysis. There are especially many of them in a deliciously crispy crust. However, chicken has one advantage that is not related to fats: it contains less so-called hemes than meat. These substances give the red color to blood and meat and the pinkish color to chicken. They produce toxins that contribute to the development of colon cancer. And studies have shown that poultry, unlike meat, does not increase the risk of such tumors.

EXPERT OPINION

Viktor Konyshev, Doctor of Medical Sciences, nutrition specialist:

- The undoubted advantage of chicken over cattle meat is its easier digestibility. This property is used in dietary nutrition for a number of diseases.

In addition, the ratio of calcium and phosphorus in chicken meat is slightly more favorable for the absorption of calcium than, for example, in beef. However, the latter contains more iron. Waterfowl meat (goose, duck) is somewhat richer in essential linolenic acid than chicken and cattle meat. When comparing poultry and mammalian meat, it is important to consider the age of the animal, the category of the product, and what parts of the body we are talking about. Chicken breasts contain less animal fat (and this is healthy) than legs, but the legs contain more iron that is beneficial to us than the breasts.

Meat is a participant in hematopoiesis and supports immunity.

Therefore, meat lovers and people watching their figure should adhere to the following tips:

  • nutrition should be balanced, do not overload the body with protein;
  • remove as much fat from meat as possible before cooking;
  • do fasting days, breaks from eating meat;
  • It is advisable to eat meat with vegetables, and not with cereals or pasta.

And if you are prone to diseases caused by meat, you need to think about an alternative source of protein - fish.

Fish value

Fish contains proteins, minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids that are beneficial for the body. Fish - low calorie product. The fats found in fish are healthy. They are perfectly absorbed by the body and improve the functioning of the heart and brain. They won't be the reason excess weight. The protein contained in fish is an excellent building material for tissues. Also, some varieties of fish contain large amounts of phosphorus, fluorine, iodine, zinc and calcium.

For proper functioning of the body and maintaining a figure, use the rule of the golden mean. Alternate fish with meat. If you prefer meat, make one day a week a fasting day. Include more vegetables in your diet. They promote the digestion of protein foods. It is advisable to eat meat or fish boiled, steamed or baked. Diet menu you can diversify.

The answer to the question “Which is healthier, fish or meat” is decided individually and independently, according to the characteristics and needs of the body.

Each of us independently chooses what to eat and what foods to eat. Some people like it plant food, to someone meat products, some people love exclusively fish and seafood, and, of course, how can we not remember poultry meat. Don't forget about varied menus in the numerous existing cuisines of the world, because almost each of them has its own, special way of preparing one or another type of meat. That’s for sure, as many people as there are, so many preferences.

Everyone, without exception, knows that the human body requires protein. And meat is one of the main suppliers of protein. Also, we should not forget that meat is not only protein; meat contains iron, vitamins A and B, phosphorus and amino acids, which are not found in other foods. By eating meat, we thereby help prevent diseases such as anemia, nervous disorders, and brittle bones. But at the same time, the meat is rich saturated fat, which increase cholesterol levels - the source of many diseases. There is evidence that meat can trigger the development of asthma, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, as well as work disorders of cardio-vascular system. Therefore, to obtain benefits, you should adhere to following rules: eat healthy, balanced, do not overload the body big amount squirrel; choose low-fat varieties meats such as chicken breast, turkey, rabbit, lean beef; before heat treatment remove as much fat as possible from raw product; and it is also necessary to arrange systematic “days off from eating meat”, i.e. fasting days.

Another source of protein is poultry. White meat is low in fat and high content squirrel. This dietary product, great source amino acids and vitamins B2, B6, B9 and B12. The most dietary part is considered to be the breast, and the most harmful is chicken leg. It is not even recommended to cook broth from it, since it settles greatest number harmful substances. And of course, nutritionists recommend stopping eating chicken skin, which contains the maximum amount of fat. Chicken is characterized by a low content of collagen (connective tissue), so it is easily digestible. That is why such nutrition is most optimal for diseases. gastrointestinal tract, diabetes mellitus and obesity.

Beef, chicken, and fish are all excellent sources of protein and carbohydrates. But the question “What is healthier, fish or meat?” Ultimately, everyone decides for themselves.

So, a little about fish
Fish helps the heart: cholesterol in fish is one third less than in lean meat. It is extremely beneficial for the heart. At the same time, it is easy and pleasant to eat fish without bread and potatoes with seasonings such as horseradish, lemon juice or soy sauce. The connection between fish and the heart was revealed in a study of the health and lifestyle of the Eskimos. They eat fish and almost no vegetables or fruits. At the same time, the hearts and blood vessels of the Eskimos are in excellent condition. Since this study, fish and fish oil have been vigorously promoted as a means of preventing heart attacks.
Now a little more detail:

1. Fish protein is much healthier. Despite the fact that both fish and meat contain protein - essential amino acids that are necessary for the human body, fish has much less connective tissue, due to which it is better absorbed. On average, a person absorbs fish protein by 98%, and meat protein by 89%. Therefore, one might wonder why overload your body with hard-to-digest food? Fish and seafood have a high nutritional value not only due to protein, but also due to the increased content of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in fatty fish (such as salmon, salmon, rainbow trout, mackerel, herring, tuna, sardines).

2. Meat puts you to sleep, and fish awakens desire. Agree - after a rich hearty borscht, homemade or store-bought dumplings and sandwiches with smoked sausage the only thing I want is to take an afternoon nap and doze peacefully. In this case, any accomplishments, including love ones, remain for lovers of fish and seafood. Have you ever wondered why almost every erotic dinner recipe includes seafood? They also say that Casanova himself used to eat several dozen oysters at a time, which is why he became famous in boudoirs.

3. Fish gives more benefit for the figure. A serving of fish is digested one and a half to two times faster than a serving of meat. And fatty acids contained in fish and seafood speed up metabolic processes. Moreover, if dietary meat is, as a rule, only chicken breast, then the variety dietary fish much more, and richer and healthier in taste. For example, classic recipe- seafood soup will not leave even the most notorious gourmets indifferent.

4. Fish is faster and easier to cook. If you need to come up with a nutritious breakfast in ten minutes, you can make a salad from canned tuna. And when you are expecting guests, place the fillet sea ​​fish grill, or drizzle lemon juice and bake in foil. And you can calmly show off in front of the mirror, trying on outfits - the dishes will be beyond praise.

5. Fish is good for diabetics. Because they have a high chance of heart disease and heart attacks, and fish helps prevent this. A diet that includes low-fat foods (such as fish) helps control diabetes. Three “fish” lunches a week or 30 grams of fish a day reduce the risk of a heart attack by 50%. Japanese and Eskimos who regularly eat fish are much less likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases. Fish is good for both the brain and nerve cells, promoting their regeneration. Fish, like apples, reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease. There are not many foods in the world rich in omega-3 fatty acids and all of them, which are beneficial for the heart and blood vessels. essential amino acids. Fish contains them in abundance, as well as vitamins A, D, E, iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and selenium.

6. Fish is good for bones. A large number of Calcium in the diet helps keep bones healthy and strong. This is especially important for women: after menopause, women have an increased risk of osteoporosis, a bone-thinning disease. In some canned fish(such as sardines and salmon) and small fresh fish (such as fingerlings) contain easily chewable soft bones. Along with dairy products, these bones - good way increasing the amount of calcium in the diet.

7. Fish aficionados claim that fish simply tastes better. And if this fact can still be argued, then the previous facts will make you think about its undoubted benefits.

Finally, beneficial features fish have been exploited by nutritionists for a long time. Experts believe that this low-fat product(the fattest varieties contain only 25–30% fat) and are also easily digestible: fish protein human body digests in 1.5–2 hours. In 100 gr. beef contains 19% protein, 9.5% fat, 0.4% carbohydrates, calorie content is 166. And in 100 g. river fish on average it contains 15.9% protein, 2.5% fat, 0.1% carbohydrates, calorie content is 91. Doctors also recommend fish for people with a sore stomach and a “problematic” thyroid gland.
