Pork has a bad reputation because of its high fat content. Indeed, pork ribs and bacon, for example, are high in fat, but others, such as loin and ribs in the middle, are low in fat. By the way, pig farms nowadays tend to raise lean pigs. In fact, in 2006, the US Department of Agriculture re-evaluated the macro nutrients in pork, and found that the protein content remained unchanged, but the fat was obviously reduced. In addition, the International Pork Diet Association reported that the total fat of pork decreased by 16%, and the saturated fat decreased by 27%, especially the fat of lean meat was only half that of beef loin (the thinnest beef).

However, equally important is the fat in pork. We all know that beef contains high saturated fat-cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are related to its precipitation; The fat in pork is mainly monounsaturated fat, which is very beneficial to human body. It also contains monounsaturated fats-olive oil, nuts and avocados, which have been proved to reduce the level of low-density lipoprotein (bad) cholesterol, and they are also used more as fuel by the body, which means that they are less likely to be stored in the form of fat.

Cholesterol First of all, a person who exercises regularly does not have to worry about the potential side effects of cholesterol on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. More importantly, proper cholesterol can promote testosterone, which we hope to get from food.

Potassium The human body needs this mineral to work better. Muscle needs it to contract, and it can also accelerate the recovery of the body and help push nutrients into muscle cells.
