Lard advertising slogan

Lard is also called meat oil or big oil in China. Animal fat played a very important role in people's lives before people mastered the technology of vegetable oil extraction. When primitive ancients roasted fat meat, they found liquid dripping on the hot fat meat, which tasted very good. People call this kind of thing "paste"

When people began to eat pork, lard gradually entered people's daily life. "Zhou Li Tianguan Ren Ying" has a record: "Where animals are used, lambs and dolphins go for a spring outing and eat incense; In summer, you will be embarrassed; Calving in autumn, eating paste fishy; Winter feathers are fragrant. " Therefore, as early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, lard had already entered the families (kitchens) of China people. It is edible oil extracted from pork, which is yellowish translucent liquid in its initial state and white or yellowish solid at room temperature.

With the improvement of people's quality of life, and after Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions to bring sesame back to the Central Plains, a wide variety of vegetable oils gradually entered people's field of vision: sesame oil, soybean oil, vegetable oil, tea oil and subdivided olive oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, coconut oil, seabuckthorn seed oil, linseed oil, perilla oil, sesame oil and rapeseed oil.

Compared with vegetable oil, lard is indeed a higher proportion of saturated acids such as stearic acid and palmitic acid. Therefore, under the one-sided rhetoric of some experts and the propaganda of some false advertisements, people have a concept that lard is unhealthy and should not be eaten. So today we will look at the advantages or disadvantages of lard to human body.

First, the value of lard

Many people think that the high content of saturated fat in lard is the chief culprit of many chronic diseases. Don't eat until you can eat it. However, there is a folk saying that "a spoonful of lard equals ten kinds of medicines".

In fact, from the perspective of nutrition, there is no difference between good and bad food. Used correctly, it is good food; If you use it wrong, it's just bad food.

Lard is mainly composed of saturated higher fatty acid glycerides and unsaturated higher fatty acid glycerides, among which saturated higher fatty acid glycerides are high in content, have certain nutrition and can provide extremely high heat, which is not found in vegetable oil.

The vegetables fried with lard are delicious, especially the fried vegetables, which will produce a special flavor and increase people's appetite. Lard contains carotene, which can protect people's eyesight; Lard is rich in oleic acid, which helps to reduce the risk of depression; Lard can improve skin dryness, moisturize and moisten skin, make skin smooth and elastic, effectively prevent hair loss and alopecia, and is suitable for beauty lovers; Lard also contains a lot of vitamin A and vitamin D, which can help the human body absorb calcium and is beneficial to human bone health. Eating lard in patients with bronchitis and asthma also has a certain effect.

In addition to food, lard has certain medicinal value.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the main function of lard is to replenish deficiency, moisten dryness and detoxify. In addition, it can also induce diuresis, promote blood circulation to remove blood stasis, stimulate appetite and enhance resistance. Therefore, eating lard has certain effects of nourishing the middle energizer, moistening dryness, relieving itching and detoxifying, and can treat symptoms such as dry viscera, unfavorable stool, dry cough and chapped skin. Its nourishing effect can nourish the five internal organs, especially moisten the lung and strengthen the spleen, and can be used to treat lung dryness, cough, spleen and stomach weakness, anorexia and emaciation. Its functions of moistening dryness and detoxicating are moistening lung and nourishing yin, and the lung governs fur; Its function of moistening lung and relaxing bowels can treat constipation caused by lung dryness and secret intestine. However, some people say that lard is sweet and slightly cold, which can cure five kinds of jaundice (jaundice, cereal jaundice, alcoholic jaundice, black jaundice and female jaundice), including modern cancer.

It is said that cancer edema can be solved with lard, because lard can "benefit the stomach, diuresis, blood vessels and promote blood circulation". Dramatically, a few years ago, some people said that lard was a carcinogen, which was a bit nonsense. Don't believe it.

Two. Side effects of lard

Everything has two sides. Although lard is good for your health, eating too much can also be harmful. Everything is the same, and delicious lard is no exception. Lard contains a lot of saturated fat. If it is not digested by the human body in time, it will accumulate in various parts of the body in the form of fat, which is not easy to lose, and will cause obesity or hyperlipidemia. Lard also contains a lot of cholesterol (about 100mg/ 100g), which is difficult to digest and easy to block the whole body blood vessels. Eating lard for a long time may indeed lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis.

Of course, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases is related to many factors, not just lard. However, the elderly, obese patients, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, patients with exogenous fever and loose stool should still use it with caution. At the same time, many lard products usually contain a lot of sugar, and diabetics should also pay attention. In addition, if people who eat meat, eggs and milk eat animal oil again, the intake of saturated fatty acids will exceed the recommended ratio of 10%, and excessive saturated fatty acids in the diet have been proved to be related to hypertension, diabetes, breast cancer, rectal cancer and prostate cancer.

3. Lard gradually brings harm.

Some people will have such doubts. They used to eat lard. Why do few people suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases? Eating now, the prevalence rate is so high? In fact, this is caused by the lifestyle of modern people, not the problem of fragrant lard itself.

Taking China's data as an example, domestic surveys show that the vast majority of China people, such as office workers, drivers, students and so on. , belonging to the light physical activity crowd. However, according to the standards of authoritative organizations such as the Nutrition Society of China, the daily fat intake of adults should account for about 25% of the total energy in the whole day. With the gradual improvement of living conditions, the per capita oil intake of China people has obviously exceeded the standard.

This situation is not only reflected in China, but has become a global problem.

So the food is good, but you need to be careful.

Summary: There is no absolute food, and there is no absolute poison. The key is the dose. Lard has many benefits to our human body, and excessive use will definitely have adverse effects on our human body. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are a comprehensive disease, which is related to diet, living habits and exercise. It is unlikely to be caused by eating lard alone. Therefore, to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, we need to start with diet conditioning, regular work and rest, proper exercise and so on.
