RAWALPINDI: Health experts have advised the citizens not to overeat red meat of sacrificial animals on Eid ul Azha, as excessive consumption of meat could cause indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, BP, vomiting and increase of uric acid in the body.

Holy Family Hospital Medical Specialist Dr Fazlur Rehman said that the citizens should use plenty of water during Eid holidays, as drinking excessive water helps in better functioning of the digestive system.

“Various public and private health centres receive cases of different stomach-related illnesses during Eid days; hence the lovers of red meat are advised to desist from using too much meat to remain healthy,” Dr Fazl said.

District Health Officer Dr Waqar Ahmed also advised the citizens to eat a balanced diet containing meat and vegetables to reduce the risk of contracting illness. He urged the residents to clean meat with water before use.
