While meat may taste really good, the downside of it is that it increases your blood cholesterol level by leaps and bounds and thereby increases your blood pressure too. Consume it too much and you will have a hard time breathing and moving around. So it is better to lay off the meat for a period to stabilize your blood pressure. In fact, going for a plant-based diet can decrease your blood cholesterol levels by 35%!
