This exaggerated information is not only because there are many people in our country. You know, in 20 15 years, China's population will only be 18% of the world's population. Finally, I have to say that people in China like pork very much. Almost every family's daily dinner table can't be without pork. But do you know why pork is so popular?
Pork has been very popular with people since ancient times.
China people have a long history of pork consumption. Wang Chudan, a professor at the College of Animal Science and Technology of China Agricultural University, introduced the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization in an interview with Life Times, which can be said to be the history of human domesticating pigs and eating pork. According to records, as early as the pre-Qin period, China had a tradition of raising pigs. This tradition has continued to this day. For example, Dongpo pork made by Su Dongpo, a writer in the Song Dynasty, has now become one of the classic dishes in Zhejiang cuisine. "Suiyuan Food List" built by Qing Dynasty gourmets with vigour is a kind of pork heat insulation, which includes 4 1 degree meal under the name of "special livestock brand", far exceeding the 13 degree of "miscellaneous livestock brand" of cattle and sheep venison.
People in China eat half of the pork in the world. Why do we like pork so much?
Some experts believe that one of the reasons for the highest sales of pork in all kinds of meat is the limited pig feeding and high meat quality conversion rate. In addition, the requirements for the breeding environment are not high, and the overall breeding cost is lower than that of cattle and sheep. In addition, from the point of view of eating, pork is loved for the following reasons. 1. The meat is fragrant. Meat smells like pork. Compared with cattle, sheep and chicken, pork contains more fat, and fat is an important source of meat flavor. 2. A lot of food Weng Qi commented on pork in the number of articles in the Catalogue of Special Animals. It is the most widely used in cooking and can be said to be the best among all kinds of ingredients. This can be seen in all major cuisines.
3. to the taste. Professor Wang Chudan believes that pork is relatively more in line with the taste of the Han nationality, and the Han population accounts for a large proportion, which directly affects the national pork consumption. Well-bred and delicious, these irrefutable advantages push pork to the daily table of Chinese people step by step. Created a "overlord" position in Chinese food. However, from the point of view of modern nutrition, eating too much pork has become a harm to the health of modern people.
A variety of meats are supplemented, but only pigs are supplemented.
So there are actually some "title parties", and pork is still nutritious. For example, the vitamin B 1 content of pork is much higher than that of other meats. People who eat refined rice lack this vitamin, but pork with rice can solve this problem. Besides, if pork is not eaten as much as other meats, it is easy to get angry. Fan Zhihong, an associate professor at the College of Food Science of China Agricultural University, pointed out that the proportion of saturated fat in pork is about one-third, and the most fatty acid is oleic acid, which is the fatty acid in olive oil.
But judging from protein, fat content, iron and other nutrients, pork can be said to be "completely lost". Professor Fan Zhihong said that the content of pork is about a quarter lower than that of protein. The fat content of pork is more than twice as high as that of lean meat. If it is lower than the iron content, it is lower than beef and mutton. Because it lacks bright red. In addition, on 20 15126, the world health organization announced that processed meat products were included in the list of carcinogenic foods, and pork products processed with salt or sodium nitrite (such as sausages, ham, bacon, etc.) were classified with arsenic. Red meat itself, including pork, is also classified as carcinogenic food.
In addition, Yong Yi, chairman of China Nutrition Society, pointed out that although red meat, pork has higher saturated fat content, so it is more harmful to health than beef and mutton. A large intake of pork, a meat with high saturated fat content, will lead to overweight and obesity, which will lead to chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. Therefore, some people collectively refer to red meat with high saturated fat as chronic disease. Even if the nutritional value of normal pork is low, don't say "problem pork" with suspicious safety. So now many restaurants have introduced healthier varieties of pork, among which Montenegro pork is highly respected by many people. So is black pork really more nutritious?
It is better to eat more white meat than to blindly admire black pork. Heishan pigs are mainly goats, with high exercise, various food sources and closer meat quality. Moreover, its own disease resistance is high, and veterinary drugs are used less. This high breeding cost also makes black pork about 2~3 times more expensive than ordinary pork. The ratio of fat meat to lean meat of Heishan pig is better, the cholesterol content is lower than that of ordinary pork, and the unsaturated fatty acid content and protein content are also higher. In addition, the muscle and liver fat of Montenegro pork are more, so the meat is delicate and fragrant when cooking, and the taste is not good when eating.
There are clearly three layers of streaky pork in Heishan pig. However, it is worth noting that pork in Montenegro is ultimately pork, which has more fat than white meat such as fish and chicken breast. Excessive intake of saturated fat is not good for human health. Therefore, Montenegro pork is more nutritious and unhealthy than ordinary pork. The so-called "healthy meat" should not exaggerate any nutritional value, but should be considered comprehensively. Moreover, with the increase of artificial breeding, Montenegro pigs have the advantages of varieties, but if they eat too much, they are in danger of becoming "fat".
Instead of buying black pork at a high price instead of ordinary pork, we should change our eating habits and find ways to eat more white meat and high-protein and low-fat red meat. How to eat pigs healthily? Many people may not be able to change their habit of eating pork at 1 30, but they can choose a more nutritious and healthy way to eat pork from the next step. 1. How thin and fat. Lean meat is rich in protein and low in saturated fat. Chen Qi, deputy secretary general of the Capital Health Care and Nutrition Food Society, suggested buying pork and choosing wick and trailing edge.
2. Low temperature cooking. Cooking pork at low temperature, such as cooking, helps to reduce the oil content. 3. With meat and vegetables, it is best to have one portion of pork and three portions of vegetables. For example, eating pork with fiber foods such as auricularia auricula, beans, green peppers and bitter gourd can help improve body fat metabolism. In addition, according to the latest edition of Dietary Guidelines for China Residents 20 16, the recommended daily intake of livestock and poultry is 40g? 0 ~ 75g, on this basis, we should consciously increase the intake of fish and poultry and reduce the intake of pork.
In fact, the above said so much, the final sentence is to eat pork reasonably. This may be difficult for everyone to do in the short term, but if you have such awareness, I believe you will eat more and more nutritious food in the future. Because after all, health, like obesity, can't be eaten in one bite.
