“Lard Donburi” I believe that we, the post-90s generation, have rarely eaten it. Hot rice is poured with a spoonful of lard. The aroma of rice and lard coming from the nostrils is unforgettable for a long time. This is the delicacy of the post-70s and post-80s.
Although we won’t eat lard rice bowls now, I believe everyone should be able to make lard at home. My family makes some pigs from time to time every year. Oil, because my mom said that lard is good for your health if you eat it occasionally. But she never eats lard herself, because she suffers from high blood pressure and her heart is not very good, so she takes medicine all the year round. If you eat lard, it is not good for cardiovascular health. So why did people eat lard every day before, but not so many people suffered from heart disease and cardiovascular disease?
So, does lard protect the cardiovascular system, or does it damage the cardiovascular system?

For the older generation, lard is a good thing with high nutritional value. Lard may be one of the main channels for them to supplement nutrition at ordinary times, but for our young people, what we see in the face of lard is no longer nutritional value, but high oil and high fat. Lard mainly contains a large amount of saturated fatty acids. Excessive intake of saturated fatty acids for a long time will cause a series of diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and also Increases the risk of cancer, thus confirming that lard is vascular.
But the Lancet study confirmed that saturated fat is not only not associated with heart disease, cardiovascular disease, It also reduces the risk of stroke to some extent. At this time, everyone may see that it is indicated by The Lancet, and completely believe that lard has nothing to do with cardiovascular disease. In fact, this is not the case, because the local research object is a inadequate fat intake country, but our China is not a country with insufficient fat intake at all. Therefore, this conclusion does not apply to the Chinese population. For our country, excessive intake of lard will bring certain risks to our cardiovascular health.
Through the above conclusions, I believe everyone already knows clearly that excessive intake of lard is harmful to cardiovascular health. However, for some impoverished areas, the only way to obtain fatty acids is lard. So in the face of lard with such a high fatty acid content, what problems should we pay attention to when eating so as to minimize the harm?
Pay attention to the amount of consumption: According to the recommendation of the “Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents”, the daily oil intake of adults is best controlled within About 25~30g, not too much or too little.
An average man needs 2,000 calories per day, and women need 1,800 calories per day. Converted to lard, it is divided into 56g and 50g. However, in our daily life, many foods contain saturated fatty acids, and not only lard can meet the fatty acids required by the human body every day, so it is suggested here that lard should not be used when conditions permit.
People who like meat: With the continuous improvement of living standards, people’s diet has also been greatly improved. Meat is inseparable from every meal, so it is recommended that people who like to eat meat at ordinary times can directly replace the cooking lard with vegetable oil. Because our daily intake of meat can meet the saturated fatty acids that our body needs every day to a certain extent.
Vegetarians: The continuous improvement of quality of life has led to more and more people suffering from obesity due to obesity. High blood pressure, heart disease. After suffering from these chronic diseases, you will not care about your health in your daily life, so you will choose to be vegetarian all year round. Because for them, a proper vegetarian diet is good for their health. However, if you are a vegetarian for a long time, you should replace vegetable oil with lard when cooking, so that you can supplement the fatty acids needed by the human body after a certain period of time.
Don’t eat oil for a long time: Although eating oil for a long time is harmful to our health, I would like to remind everyone here, don’t be extreme, choose Do not eat oil, if a person chooses to not eat oil for a long time, the body will easily malfunction, especially friends who usually like to eat fat-reducing meals.
Through this article, you should be able to find that lard is not as scary as we think, although lard is not as bad for our health There are certain hazards, but as long as we can effectively control the oil intake, these hazards can be effectively prevented. In daily life, whether it is vegetable oil or animal oil, as long as it can be eaten correctly and reasonably, it will not cause much harm.
