Keep away from beef, pork and lamb as they are enriched with saturated fats, something which is not-so-good for your heart. If the taste buds crave for some non-vegetarian food, go for the humble birds and mighty sea food which are the “white meat” per se and definitely a much healthier option to satiate the craving.
