Chicken is a dietary meat that can be eaten every day.

However, a lecturer at the Department of Fundamental Medical Disciplines at the State University's Faculty of Medicine warned that this statement does not apply to all parts of the chicken.

Doctor Umnov shared his advice with the publication “ Doctor Peter ”.

He recalled that chicken meat is deservedly popular all over the world. Unlike the fattier pork, beef and lamb, it is low in calories and easily digestible.

Chicken meat contains many microelements and vitamins, so it can be eaten daily. However, this is true only for the meat parts of the bird.

As for chicken by-products, they should be eaten with caution. If we talk about chicken lungs and tail, they contain harmful bacteria and parasites that are not destroyed even by heat treatment.

An exception is chicken liver, but the doctor does not recommend getting carried away with it either. Despite the high content of copper, vitamin B12 and iron, it is also rich in cholesterol.

Therefore, this by-product is contraindicated for children under 3 years of age and people with kidney disease or gastritis.
