The researchers argue that women over 50 years of age, who have a high proportion of protein in their diet, are at risk of heart failure, especially if the source of protein is meat.

In the study, a diet of about 100,000 women was studied, with an average age of 65 years. In general, about 1,700 women experienced heart failure during the experiments. The incidence of heart failure was higher in women consuming protein in the form of meat than in women who drew this nutrient from vegetables.

Scientists believe that subsequent studies have helped to find a link between the protein that is consumed in the form of meat and the risk of developing diseases and unstable cardiac work in women.

Researchers recommend that patients in their daily diet use more vegetables and fruits, as well as low-fat dairy products, to replace fatty meat with poultry, fish and nuts, in every possible way limiting their body from the consumption of red meat and sweets in the form of beverages and all sorts of foods.
