Nutritionist Yegorova called the refusal of fat in case of problems with the heart and blood vessels optional According to her, Russians with problems with the cardiovascular system should not completely abandon the use of this product, RIA Novosti reports.
“Lard is useful, like any other animal fat. Lard is close to vegetable oils in terms of the content of essential fatty acids: oleic, linolenic, linoleic, palmitic – these acids are called vitamin F. Lard is high in vitamins A, D, E and carotene, ”Egorova explained.
The specialist recalled that everything is fine in moderation, so she advised to eat a small piece of bacon no more than twice a week. In such an amount, the product will have a beneficial effect on the body. In addition, Egorova called the complete rejection of fat in case of problems with the heart and blood vessels optional, the specialist denied the myth.
“Lard should be used with caution by those people who are overweight, because fat itself is high in calories and easy to overeat. And those who have problems with the heart and blood vessels. But even in this case, we are not talking about a total ban, but about a significant reduction in the amount, ”concluded the nutritionist.
Previously, nutritionist Olga Chuntonova named an unexpected product for reducing blood pressure. According to her, chia seeds have this property. The product contains fatty acids that lower blood cholesterol levels.
