Fats are also necessary for our body, like other substances. They ensure its normal functioning and protect organs and tissues. Moreover, animal fats should also be consumed in small quantities, which contain slightly different, no less important, components than vegetable fats. And the most useful of them a person can get from ordinary lard.

That is why this product helps to reduce the synthesis of cholesterol in the blood, has a beneficial effect on the condition of the heart and blood vessels. Naturally, you need to eat it in moderation, not exceeding 50 g per day. Eating bits of lard on a daily basis can be counterproductive.
A couple of pieces of salted lard will absolutely not affect your figure, because this product is well absorbed by the body, without being deposited in subcutaneous fat. In addition, it contains no preservatives that interfere with normal metabolism. But if you follow the figure, it is better to eat lard without bread.
Also, fat contains such an essential element for the body as selenium. Its deficiency, according to research by the Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, is experienced by about 80% of the population of our country. Moreover, the selenium in this product is absorbed by the body most easily. And if you eat a couple of pieces of lard with garlic, you will enrich your body with the daily requirement of this substance.

It is also useful to snack on alcoholic beverages with lard, as it interferes with the rapid absorption of alcohol into the walls of the stomach, which slightly reduces the degree of intoxication. True, both alcohol and lard should be a little, otherwise you can plant the liver.
