Why eat lard in the morning? Telling you.

Natural lard is good for health, but in moderate amounts (for people with obesity and atherosclerosis the recommended daily norm is 10-30 g) and in the absence of contraindications:

period of exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis and cholecystitis;
liver diseases;
diseases of bile ducts and gallbladder;
violation of cholesterol metabolism.

Consumption of lard at breakfast triggers bile flow, which has a positive effect on the gallbladder, normalizes and improves digestion. But lard is a saturated animal fat, so it should be combined with other plant foods: greens, non-starchy vegetables, green salad, vegetable protein.

For breakfast you can eat some lard with a piece of homemade bread made of green buckwheat on sourdough. Before breakfast, I recommend drinking two glasses of warm water.

Lard is allowed even when following the ketoprotocol and LCHF diets, but only because these therapeutic diets are low in carbohydrates, which protects against high levels of oxidative stress.

Lard not only improves bile flow, but also contains the rare coenzyme Q10. A number of studies prove that natural lard (without smoking) preserves the youth and beauty of the skin, as well as maintains the integrity of myelin sheaths, which provide the tone of nerve endings and improve brain function, protecting against the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

Choose a trusted manufacturer and favor salted lard – it’s what’s good for your health. With or without meat veins – it’s a matter of taste.

Pork lard contains many fat-soluble vitamins – A, D, E, minerals, as well as unsaturated fatty acids.

Lecithin, which is part of this product, is useful for cerebral vessels, improves concentration. In the period of colds and colds, salted lard with garlic will have a double effect against infection and strengthen immunity.

Lard contains “useful” cholesterol and fats that take an active part in the development of cell membranes necessary for building immunity. Eating just a piece of lard in the morning, you will be less sick. By the way, in lard when pickling add garlic, which is indispensable in the cold season and can be an excellent preventive measure against flu.

I note that a piece of lard instead of cookies is a good snack option. Lard is well digested by the body, does not overload the liver and gives a lot of energy, as a gram of the product contains almost nine kilocalories.

Daily norm of quality lard can be introduced into a full diet, but do not forget about the norm and do not abuse it. Take care of yourself and be healthy!
