Is Your Chicken Habit Putting Your Health at Risk?
A new study suggests that eating too much chicken, specifically more than 300 grams per week, may increase the risk of death and gastrointestinal cancers. The research, which conflicts with traditional views of poultry as a healthy protein, indicates a 27% higher risk of all-cause mortality and a 2.3% increased risk of gastrointestinal cancers. While poultry is typically considered a healthier alternative to red meat, the study calls for further investigation into how excessive consumption, especially of processed or industrially raised poultry, may contribute to health issues. Experts stress the need for moderation and recommend balanced cooking methods to mitigate risks.
Healthy Fact of the Day: Protecting your skin with sunscreen helps prevent premature aging, sunburn, and reduces the risk of skin cancer. Even on cloudy days or during winter, harmful UV rays can still affect your skin. Applying a broad-spectrum SPF daily is a small habit that makes a big difference in your long-term skin and overall health.
