Eating meat increases the risk of diabetes

Plant-based diet is healthier than a meat-based diet in reducing the risk of diabetes, higher intake of red meat and poultry is associated with increased risk of developing diabetes because of higher content of heme iron in meats.

Replacing red meat or poultry with fish could reduce the risk of diabetes, reducing meat daily intake and eating more of plants based protein like beans, nuts, peas and lentils can prevent the diseases.
