Who should not eat horse meat
And yet there are situations where you can talk about contraindications for horse meat. This is not only about individual intolerance, but also about certain limitations that apply to heavy protein foods in general. You can not abuse meat, even dietary, in the presence of the following diagnoses:
• stroke, heart attack;
• hypertension;
• osteoporosis;
• diabetes;
• bleeding of the stomach;
• intestinal cancer;
• acute renal failure.
Patients with such a diagnosis should not include meat in their diet at all. They need a completely different diet. In addition, if a person has excessive production of bile, then horse meat is harmful to him because of its choleretic effect.
This undoubtedly healthy meat has certain characteristics that must be taken into account so as not to harm your body. First of all, it is best to eat young horsemeat. The age of the animal should range from a few months to three years maximum.
Horse meat is very poorly stored, so it either needs to be eaten quickly, or immediately canned or wilted. However, there are nuances here. The fact is that this meat very often contains such dangerous bacteria as salmonella and trichiosis. The chemical composition, in which carbohydrates are practically absent, is an excellent medium for the propagation of pathogenic microflora.
It is not by chance that the products of horsemeat suppliers of veterinary stations are checked especially strictly. If a pathogenic bacterium enters the human body, the consequences will be severe, up to bleeding and death (with improper treatment and late diagnosis of the disease). In any case, eating raw or undercooked meat is in principle very dangerous, and horse meat is doubly dangerous.
The meat of a healthy animal is not dangerous. It should be eaten as quickly as possible so that the product does not have time to deteriorate.
