JAKARTA - The goat meat menu is often a mandatory dish during Eid al-Adha. For those of you who want to eat various processed goat meat menus, it is important to measure their intake.

Doctor Nutrition Dr. dr. Luciana Sutanto, MS, SpGK. Subsp.PK recommends the right food dose to eat goat meat when Eid al-Adha is 50 to 150 grams per cut per meal so it doesn't get cholesterol.

"Consumption of goat meat one time without other side dishes is only recommended 50 to 150 grams, depending on height and weight," Luciana said as quoted by ANTARA.

The doctor who practices at Mitra Keluarga Hospital Kemayoran confirmed that the goat meat consumed in large quantities can make it easier for a person to catch cholesterol and increase blood pressure.

He also confirmed that foods that contain a lot of coconut milk can trigger cholesterol, even if the materials used do not contain the compound.

"Emaging coconuts mostly triggers cholesterol, although it does not contain cholesterol. Fat can be converted into cholesterol by the body," he said.

Furthermore, according to him, goat meat can be processed in various menus. With a note that the amount consumed must be limited so as not to trigger cholesterol.

Luciana said to keep the body healthy after eating the Hari Raya dish, the community is advised to continue to eat side dishes equipped with carbohydrate sources such as rice or potatoes.

He reminded the public to continue to consume vegetables and fruits that contain many minerals, such as spinach, watermelons and oranges.

"The negative impact (such as cholesterol) is also determined from which part of the selection that is consumed, for example, rupiah and fat parts will certainly increase cholesterol intake so that it is recommended to consume the clean part of the meat," he said.

"In satay, about three stabs, this is because clean goat meat is included in a group of meat with moderate fat," he said.

Furthermore, Fitri agrees that goat meat is consumed together with food ingredients that contain other substances.
