Question

Reema includes a lot of meat in her diet. Though the meat does provide some
important nutrients to her diet, what are the disadvantages of including a lot of meat
in her diet? (Give at least 2 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

Processed food and meat contain very little roughage. Carbohydrates present in plant foods that cannot be digested and which move through the digestive system are known as roughage. The disadvantages of including a lot of meat instead of roughage are because of the following reasons:

Including roughage in the diet prevents from constipation and ensures proper bowling movement. Many doctors belive that a high fibre diet reduces heart disease and bowl cancer.

Roughage add bulk to our food. Since it is not digested, it passes down the entire digestive track from the mouth to the anus. The muscles of the digestive track need this bulk to push against.
