Fat: calorie, benefits and contraindications
Just a decade ago, experts did notallowed to eat fat, whose calories are very high, especially for children, the elderly and those who have serious illnesses. It was also believed that lard is almost the most difficult food to digest. For ten years, a look at this question has changed a lot. In the specialized medical literature began to publish articles about the benefits of fat, proper cooking and use. Also now, experts say that the body digests fat much faster than meat. Let's talk about the properties of fat.
Of course, fat, which calorieis not more than 800 kcal (mature pig), very useful. True, for young children and the elderly, such calories will be quite high. For them, fat is more suitable, whose caloric content does not exceed 600 kcal. It must be borne in mind that the smaller the age of the animal, the lower the caloric content of fat.

It will almost always be helpful for them to eat bacon (for example, in combination with bread and greens). Pork lard, whose caloric content is quite acceptable for people leading a lively and tense lifestyle, will in no way affect the mass of a person.
It is worth noting that we are accustomed only to pork fat. However, various peoples eat the fat of sheep, bears, cows and badgers.

It is impossible not to say that fat, caloriewhich is quite high, makes it possible to use it in the preparation of delicacies. Thus, the caloric content of fat becomes its advantage. From bacon it is possible to cook such tasty dishes as boiled bacon, smoked bacon, salted bacon, baked and fried bacon.
As for the presence of cholesterol in fat, then in moderation it will not be superfluous. It is an integral part of all the membranes and muscles in the human body.
