Food Art #3 - "Meat Too Maturity Make a Hypertension ???

While eating befsteak many people choose meat with a level of 'well done' maturity. Though it is pointed that this ripe meat can trigger hypertension.

Many people, especially Asian people who choose the level of perfect maturity or well done when ordering beefsteak. This is because the meat is still issued meat juice is considered immature.

The outgoing red fluid is considered a trace of blood. Though this fluid is present in all types of roasted meat is not blood. But the juice of meat juice, commonly called myoglobin or protein that exist in muscle tissue.



A study conducted by the American Heart Association revealed that people who regularly consume meat with a well done maturity level could be at risk of hypertension.

The study involved as many as 100,000 people. The experts examined their cooking and blood pressure for 12 to 16 years. The result, participants who consume beef, chicken, or fish cooked with high temperatures are potentially exposed to hypertension by 15 to 17 percent.

Other results, participants who eat meat with a perfect maturity level or 'well done' have a risk of hypertension by 15 percent. Compared with participants who eat meat with maturity level 'medium rare'.

The researchers also concluded people who ate grilled meat more than 15 times per month had a risk of hypertension by 17 percent. Compared to people who only consume them four times per month.

This is due to a chemical compound called heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) produced when meat is roasted with high temperatures.



"The chemicals that come from meat cooked at high temperatures can cause oxidative stress, inflammation, and insulin resistance when examined in animals," says Gang Liu Ph.D. head of the study authors who attribute this to hypertension.

But researchers underlined that this study can not be used as a benchmark if cooked meat maturity level 'medium rare' better than 'well done'.



The problem of hypertension is actually not just happening because eating grilled meat. An American dietitian named Katrina A Trisko said, "The National Cancer Institute has warned about the dangers of cancer if eating too often meat either baked or fried."

According to experts, you should not avoid foods that are at risk of adverse health effects. You must maintain a balanced regular diet. Do not just eat one type of food alone. But the consumption of various foods either by baking, boiling, frying or stir-frying.
