The dangers of daily consumption of lard.
Liver health can be worsened not only by alcohol, but also by unhealthy food. Particular attention should be paid to lard, a traditional product of Ukrainian cuisine that contains a complex complex of fats and biologically active substances, informs Ukr.Media.
The nutritionist explained that excessive consumption of lard disrupts the liver's function. The product contains mainly saturated fatty acids (up to 43%) and cholesterol, an excess of which can lead to disruption of lipid metabolism in the body. The liver, which is responsible for fat metabolism, is forced to work with increased load.
Prolonged overload of the organ can lead to the development of non-infectious hepatitis, a disease in which fat accumulates in liver cells (steatohepatitis). This disease is characterized by inflammation of liver tissue and impaired liver function, which can lead to serious complications.
However, it is worth noting that lard also has beneficial properties. It is a source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the body. In addition, lard contains essential fatty acids and selenium, an important trace element for supporting immunity.
The doctor recommends eating lard in small portions and not on a daily basis.
"Lardo is not a product for every day. I would say that lard is a product from the category of delicacies. A person can afford this product as often as, for example, natural red caviar," the nutritionist explained.
Daily consumption of lard can lead to liver damage and hospitalization. Therefore, it is important to consume this traditional product in moderation, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body and the general state of health.
