JAKARTA – For someone with hypertension or high blood pressure, eating goat meat is taboo. But is it true that consumption of goat meat can increase blood pressure?
When compared to beef and chicken, mutton is actually more 'healthy'. Because of the content of cholesterol, iron, protein, and calories in 85 grams of mutton, beef, and chicken, here's the comparison:
Calories = mutton (122 calories) : beef (179 calories) : chicken (162 calories)
Cholesterol = mutton (63.8 mg) : beef (73.1 mg) : chicken (76 mg)
Fat = mutton (2.6 grams) : beef (7.9 grams) : chicken meat (6.3 grams)
Saturated fat = mutton (0.79 grams): beef (3 grams): chicken (1.7 grams)
Iron content = mutton (3.2 mg): beef (2.9 mg): chicken (1.5 mg)
Protein = mutton (23 grams): beef (+-25 grams): chicken (+-25 grams)
From the comparison above, one assumption about goat meat can overcome anemia can be justified. Because the iron content is quite high, it can help the production of hemoglobin which is needed by red blood cells.
However, the assumption about consuming goat meat that makes blood pressure rise is not entirely wrong. Because what makes high blood pressure is the cooking process and the portion consumed.
