How does the Carnivore Diet help with heart disease?

The Carnivore Diet is high in saturated fat, which is linked to a decrease in heart disease. Saturated fat can help lower bad LDL and triglyceride levels, both of which have been associated with an increased risk of heart disease. In addition to its benefits for the heart, saturated fat has also been found to have positive effects on brain function and memory.

Animal-based diet lowers inflammation

Saturated fat is a type of fat that occurs naturally in meat and animal products. It's often vilified for being unhealthy, but research shows that people who eat more saturated fat can lower their risk of heart disease by up to 30 per cent. It turns out that saturated fats don't just help your heart; they also reduce inflammation in your body on multiple levels.

In fact, one study showed that eating red meat led to a 20 per cent reduction in C-reactive protein (CRP), which is an indicator of inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation is a major risk factor for many diseases including cancer, depression, asthma and obesity—so by lowering CRP levels through diet alone (without added medication or supplements), you'll be helping yourself stay healthy!
