An expert in Indian folk medicine, Arun Khatri, wrote on social media that Georgian shashlik is harmful because of its high cholesterol content.
“Georgian shashlik is harmful and really does increase cholesterol. That is the truth.
Meat alone is not the cause of high cholesterol. The real causes are insulin resistance, chronic stress, a prediabetic condition, and an unhealthy liver.
When insulin levels are high, the liver begins to produce more cholesterol. Stress hormones push the liver into survival mode, and that is exactly where the problem begins.
How to eat shashlik safely
Eat vegetables or a salad before the meat.
This reduces sharp spikes in insulin and helps protect digestion.
Go to bed on time. Nighttime sleep is when the liver recovers. Going to bed late disrupts fat metabolism.
After eating, walk for 10–15 minutes. This activates the muscles and burns excess glucose, preventing an increase in bad cholesterol.
Calm down and enjoy your food.
Stress during meals is more dangerous than the food itself.
So, eat shashlik—but do so wisely. Live calmly and stay active every day,” writes Arun Khatri.
