The old generation ate lard every day, now why few people eat it?
In the past, because of the overall poor living conditions, edible vegetable oil is not like now there are so many varieties of brands to choose from, so most of the families eat oil are eating their own refined lard.
In fact, the benefits of lard is quite a lot, from the Chinese medicine lard taste sweet and cold can be beneficial to the stomach and intestines, through the urine, the blood, scattered blood.
But lard is really high in saturated fatty acid content, eat more plus nowadays people lack of exercise, may cause excess nutrition, the body hoards saturated fatty acid synthesized cholesterol is not good for the body.
Lard is not good to eat more, but does not mean that you can not eat, but should adopt a healthy way to eat:
First of all, we must control the amount of lard consumption, and secondly is to change the kinds of food, you can eat some lard today, tomorrow eat vegetable oil or with the food. This helps to absorb different nutrients. Lastly, pay attention to the cooking method, more use of steaming and stewing, less use of frying and baking and frying. When frying vegetables, pay attention to the hot pan and cool oil, if you wait for the oil to smoke and then put the vegetables will be easy to produce harmful substances.
In fact, I think now fried vegetables rarely use lard there is another reason is that many people now he will not be refining lard, supermarkets have a lot of varieties of vegetable oils to choose from, lard can not be ready to buy.
