Rawalpindi: Doctors have said the meat lovers can fall prey to several diseases during Eidul Azha, if they eat excessive amount of meat as doing so can cause diarrhoea, vomiting, high blood pressure and excess uric acid in the body.
They have recommended that people should be wary of eating large quantity of meat. They suggested that people should attempt to maintain a balanced diet which consists of both meat and fruits and vegetables, among other things, to prevent any ailments associated with eating too much meat.
