One of them is the question of lard: is lard healthy or harmful?In order to unravel this mystery, we will explain the truth from the perspective of Chinese medicine, combining Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions.
First of all, lard is regarded as one of the most nutritious ingredients in Chinese medicine theory. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, lard has the effect of nourishing the lungs and spleen, moisturizing the skin, etc., and is widely used in the process of traditional Chinese medicine preparations and herbal medicine. In addition, lard is also rich in fatty acids, such as unsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, etc., which are of great significance to the physiological functions of the human body. Therefore, when consumed in moderation, lard is beneficial for human health.
Secondly, based on the experience of TCM, we can better understand the role of lard in health care through some traditional prescriptions. For example, there is a recipe called "Pig Brain Tonic Soup", which consists of fresh pork brain and a moderate amount of lard. This recipe is widely used in TCM internal medicine, with the main effects of regulating kidney qi, nourishing blood and moisturizing the skin. This illustrates the value and role of lard in traditional Chinese medicine.
At the same time, we should make it clear that we should also control the portion size of lard when we eat it. Any kind of food, when consumed in excess, may cause certain negative effects on physical health. Although lard has a certain health effect, the characteristics of high fat and high cholesterol also make excessive consumption increase the accumulation of body fat and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, when consuming lard, we should adhere to the principle of moderation, not only to maintain health, but also to avoid adverse consequences.
In addition, for those who suffer from some specific diseases, dietary modification should be made according to the doctor's guidance to avoid worsening of the disease. For example, people with diseases such as high blood lipids, high cholesterol, and obesity should reduce the amount of lard when ingesting lard, and choose low-fat foods such as lean meat and clear soup to achieve a balanced diet.
In summary, lard is different from other types of fats and oils, it has certain health benefits, but it also has certain potential risks. When consuming lard, we should adhere to the principle of moderation so as not to adversely affect our health.
