When it comes to lard, I believe that many older generations are most nostalgic, in that era of poor grain and materials, the family refined a bowl of lard, multiplied by a bowl full of lard bibimbap, full of fragrant incense... But now, the diet is gradually getting better, everyone is more inclined to eat healthy, rather than eat delicious, lard, a controversial food, has been hovering between healthy and unhealthy.
In addition, now that the economy is developing rapidly, the people's living standards are improving, and the number of people who eat lard is getting less and less, and the number of people who suffer from diseases, especially major diseases, has risen sharply every year, many people have begun to wonder whether it is because of the lack of lard that people's health has declined.
After all, in the past, when materials were scarce and the level of medical care was worse, there were far fewer people who fell ill and died of illness, and the difference was not that people in the past preferred to cook with lard stir-fry vegetables?
Nutritional value of lard:
For the nutritional value of lard, the ancients have a one-sided view, as the saying goes, "a spoonful of lard is equal to five pairs of medicines", "Materia Medica" also said that lard is sweet, slightly cold, moisturizing the lungs and reducing dryness, in short, most of the ancient people thought that lard was healthy health.
"Dictionary of Chinese Medicine": Lard is sweet and cool, with the functions of replenishing weakness, moisturizing and detoxifying. It can be used to treat organs such as dry organs, unfavorable stools, dry cough, cracked skin and so on.
"Compendium of Materia Medica": lard dissolves ground gallbladder, pavilion length, wild kudzu, sulfur poison, and liver poison, gastrointestinal, urinary, except for five scabies edema.
Therefore, from the above records, we can know that lard can not only make up for the deficiency, such as postpartum body weakness, long-term illness deficiency, etc., proper consumption of lard can play a role in supplementing the deficiency, can make people recover their strength well, just like farmers go to the field to plant land, etc., eat more lard to have more physical strength, which also benefits from the high calorie effect of lard, but also can make up for the deficiency.
One spoonful of lard equals five pairs of medicines?
Even so, the edible value of lard is still worth affirming, especially in the past poor years, it is extremely happy to see a little oil and water in the meal, which can also help provide calories, increase satiety and increase physical strength for people who often do not have enough to eat.
Of course, the advantages of lard are not only that they eat fragrant and smell fragrant, but also the fatty acids, triglycerides and various trace elements contained in it are also necessary nutrients for the human body, so in the past, lard is indeed a treasure.
In fact, the role of lard is not so magical, the composition of lard is more complex, including triglycerides, cholesterol, and zinc, selenium and other minerals, there is no scientific evidence that it has a detoxification effect.
In addition, the claim that lard is more outrageous about anti-cancer, the content of saturated fatty acids in lard is more, and studies have confirmed that saturated fatty acids are closely related to obesity, hypertension, heart disease and other diseases.
In general, the flavoring effect of lard is greater than its nutritional effect.
Is it good or bad that diabetics often eat lard? Tell you the answer
Diabetics try to eat less lard or no lard, which contains high calories.
Secondly, lard contains too much lipid substances, diabetic patients are a group of metabolic diseases with blood glucose metabolism as the main reason, in the case of abnormal glucose metabolism, can make lipid metabolism, protein metabolism are abnormal, so most of the patients with diabetes must be combined with hyperlipidemia.
If you eat lard again, one is that the calories generated exceed the standard, and it is not easy to control your diet, which is not conducive to treatment. Secondly, the content of pig oil and fat is too high, which can easily lead to disorders in fat metabolism in the body.
So under general circumstances, it is not recommended that diabetics eat more lard, if you want to eat lard, you should try to eat less, of course, what you just said, is nothing more than to tell patients, diabetics basically all things can eat, but must control a quantity.
Keeping these 3 points in mind with healthy oils may help maintain health
1. Use oil in an appropriate amount
The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents point out that the recommended daily intake of edible oil is 25 to 30 grams, but the survey found that 80% of Chinese households exceed this amount of edible oil per day.
But as everyone knows, eating too much oil will make the fat and cholesterol content in the blood soar, once beyond the body's metabolic range, it will lead to these excess fat and cholesterol will accumulate in the body, deposited on the blood vessels, resulting in a series of cardiovascular diseases, so the appropriate amount of oil is more beneficial to health.
2. Change the brand of edible oil frequently
Some people have a more specific taste, choose an oil to often eat this oil, do not know that different edible oils in the health of the beneficial ingredients are different, often change the brand can provide the body with more comprehensive nutrients.
3. Different dishes have different oils
General cooking is divided into several ways such as stir-frying, boiling and cold mixing, and the amount of oil in different methods is different, such as cold mixing vegetables can be added less oil.
In summary, lard is generally a very nutritious food, but the nutritional structure of modern people, not suitable for daily consumption of lard, according to their own physical conditions, choose the right type of diet, is the healthiest choice.
