Having high cholesterol makes you have to be more selective in choosing the food to be consumed. Foods such as offal and mutton contain cholesterol whose intake must be limited in order to maintain health. Photo/Illustration/Ist
If you continue to consume foods that are high in cholesterol, of course, it will increase a person’s risk of serious illness. Reported from the book “Practical Guide to Choosing Meat Products (2003)” by Ir Burhan Bahar, among beef, chicken and fish, fish is an animal food product that contains the lowest cholesterol.
Quoted from Alodokter, goat meat contains a variety of nutrients needed by the body, such as protein, fat, potassium, iron, zinc, calcium, selenium, phosphorus, folate, vitamin B, vitamin K, and vitamin E.
Although it contains a lot of nutrients, goat meat also contains saturated fat, which if consumed too much can increase bad cholesterol levels in the body.

In 100 grams of fish, only contains 50-60 mg of cholesterol. Beef and chicken contain relatively the same amount of cholesterol, which is 60-120 mg per gram. But the cholesterol content in eggs is no less high, where the cholesterol content in eggs is recorded to reach 450 mg per 100 grams.
Cholesterol content in cow’s brain can reach 2,000-3,000 mg per 100 grams. The cholesterol content of shellfish and crabs is also quite high, where there are 100-200 mg per 100 grams. That’s what makes it not good to consume beef with fish or shellfish at the same time.
To be healthier, it is recommended that you process goat meat into roasted, grilled or soup goats. Do not fry goat meat, because it can increase the levels of saturated fat and cholesterol in the meat.
In addition, first cut the fat contained in goat meat before processing it, and you can also add vegetables to help maintain cholesterol levels that are absorbed by the body.
The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) once recommended that people limit their consumption of fats and oils to a quarter of sufficient. This means that people are allowed to consume fatty foods such as meat, but not excessively. Because it will result in disease disorders such as narrowing of arteries and coronary heart disease.
