Meat is being blamed for causing various health issues, including high cholesterol levels and heart problems. But if you want to incriminate any food type behind these issues, blame sugar and refined grains. Read on to find out why you need more meat in your diet and less sugar and refined grains for peak health.<\/span><\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<style>@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-6a2260b2737325124{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-6a2260b2737325124{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-6a2260b2737325124{position: relative !important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-6a2260b2737325124{position: relative !important;}}<\/style>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 thegem-custom-6a2260b273b474793\" ><div class=\"vc_column-inner thegem-custom-inner-6a2260b273b4a vc_custom_1590571667512\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper thegem-custom-6a2260b273b474793\"><div class=\"gem-image gem-wrapbox gem-wrapbox-style-default gem-wrapbox-position-below  thegem-custom-6a2260b273c354574\"  style=\"\" ><div class=\"gem-wrapbox-inner \" ><img class=\"gem-wrapbox-element img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/aegis.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/aegis.com_.tr-3.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 thegem-custom-6a2260b2744587970\" ><div class=\"vc_column-inner thegem-custom-inner-6a2260b27445b \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper thegem-custom-6a2260b2744587970\">\r\n\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  thegem-vc-text thegem-custom-6a2260b2746fe3868\"  >\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<p><strong>For the longest time, we&#8217;ve been meat eaters.
