Many people love lard. This product is not only attractive in taste, but also beneficial for the body.
However, it also has certain negative health factors. It is better not to neglect them.
As for the benefits, lard has a good effect on digestion and hormonal balance, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta, citing toxicologist, Professor Mikhail Kutyshov.
The second point is that lard contains vitamins such as A, D, E and K, which play an important role in the body’s immunity and are also important for the skin, bones and vision.
The situation with the influence of lard on the heart, blood vessels, and blood is ambiguous.
On the one hand, potassium, magnesium, and iron present in the product help maintain normal functioning of the cardiovascular system, as well as normal metabolism.
On the other hand, lard can increase blood cholesterol levels, which is very bad for people with cardiovascular problems.
Lard is also harmful for those suffering from pancreatic diseases, since the product is difficult to digest.
Among other things, lard can provoke the formation of stones in the gallbladder.
Therefore, the doctor recommends that even healthy people eat this product no more than 2 times a week, 15-20 grams.
