As the saying goes, "A spoonful of lard is worth ten medicines," why is it no longer suitable for modern people?

I remember when I was a child, every household raised pigs, usually two or three, but at least one. These pigs were generally called "New Year Pigs", which are used to celebrate the New Year. It’s time to kill the pigs that eat meat. But we all know that the main purpose of pigs raised in rural areas is to eat meat. The most important thing is to ensure the oil used for cooking for a year. Because there was little clear oil in rural areas in the past, every household used lard for cooking. Lard not only makes the rice fragrant, but more importantly, it also has health care effects. As the saying goes, "A spoonful of lard is a good thing." This is what it means to "take ten medicines", so what does this sentence mean and does it make sense?

1. A spoonful of lard

When I was a child, many families in the countryside would kill pigs every year. After killing the pigs, they would use the fat pork to make lard. They all said that pork has special The meaty flavor is unmatched by rapeseed oil, but there are many people who are not used to lard. However, if you add some sugar and some sugar to the leftover lard residue after tempering, it will taste crunchy and porky, not to mention how fragrant it is. So in the past, rural people would put a spoonful of pork in every household when cooking, so that the food would taste delicious.

2. Better than ten medicines

This sentence means that lard has very good medicinal value, and regular consumption will have certain benefits for human health. It can replenish deficiency and detoxify, nourish the five internal organs, relieve cough and phlegm, clear away heat and nourish the spleen, beautify skin and skin care, stimulate appetite and digestion, etc. However, we all know that no matter how good the food is, even ginseng and Ganoderma can be harmful to people in excess, so eating it Lard must be used in moderation and not in excess.

To sum up, the rural saying "a spoonful of lard is worth ten medicines" does not mean that lard has important medicinal value, but that in times of economic difficulties, people use lard as a food. As a substitute for meat and fish, if you consume lard in an appropriate amount, the body will have enough oil and water, and your body will naturally feel better. But if you are really sick, you still have to believe in science and go to the doctor to take medicine, and don't just gorge yourself on lard.
