How To Make HEalthy Food Choices When Eating Out

Many restaurants offer delicious, heart-healthy meals. These tips will help you make eating out healthy and enjoyable.

Before You Order

• If you are familiar with the menu, decide what to order before entering the restaurant. This tactic will help you avoid any tempting foods that may not be as healthy.
• If you are trying a new restaurant, take time to study the menu so you can make the best choices.
• Have the waiter remove temptations (such as the bread basket) from the table.
• Drink two full glasses of water before your food arrives.
• Avoid foods described as buttery, buttered, fried, pan-fried, creamed, escalloped, au gratin (with cheese), or a la mode (with ice cream).
• If you do eat bread before your meal, choose melba toast or whole-grain rolls without butter or margarine.

When You Order

• Order foods that are steamed, broiled, grilled, stir-fried, or roasted.
• Order potatoes baked, boiled, or roasted instead of fried. Ask the server to leave off the butter and sour cream.
• Order first so that you will not be influenced by others’ choices.
• For appetizers, order broth-based soups such as minestrone or gazpacho instead of creamy soups or fried finger foods.
• Choose seafood, chicken, or lean red meat rather than fatty or processed meats. Remove all visible fat from any meat.
• Ask for steamed vegetables instead of fries.
• Ask for the sauces and dressings on the side so you can control how much you eat.
• Ask the server about ingredients or preparation methods for the dishes you’re not familiar with.
• For dessert, order sorbet or fresh, seasonal fruit without whipped cream or a topping.

Salad Tips

• When choosing from a salad bar, avoid items like grated cheese, potato salads, cream dressings, bacon bits, and croutons.
• Use a squeeze of lemon instead of dressing on salads. Or try rice vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
• If you opt for dressing on your salad, order the dressing on the side. Dip your salad fork into the dressing, then into the salad. You will consume less dressing if you just get a taste of it on each mouthful of salad rather than pouring it over the salad.

Nutrition Low Cholesterol – Daily Food Guide: Meats

TLC Daily Food Guide to Lower Your Cholesterol
Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs, and Nuts

To
lower your blood cholesterol level, choose only the leanest meats, poultry, fish
and shellfish.

• Choose chicken and turkey without skin or remove skin before eating.
• Some fish, like cod, have less saturated fat than either chicken or meat.
• Since even the leanest meat, chicken, fish, and shellfish have saturated fat and
  cholesterol, limit the total amount you eat to 5 ounces or less per day.

Poultry

In general, chicken and turkey are low in saturated fat, especially when the skin
is removed. When shopping for poultry remember:

• You can buy chicken and turkey pieces with the skin already removed. Or buy
  pieces with the skin on and remove it yourself before eating . . . it’s
  easy to do. Remember, the white meat itself always contains less saturated
  fat than the dark meat.
• Limit
  goose and duck. They are high in saturated fat, even with the
  skin removed.
• Try fresh ground turkey or chicken that is made from white meat like the breast.
• Remember that some chicken and turkey hot dogs are lower in saturated fat and total
  fat than pork and beef hot dogs. There are also “lean” beef hot
  dogs and vegetarian (made with tofu) franks that are low in fat and
  saturated fat.

Fish and Shellfish

When shopping for fish and shellfish remember that:

• Most fish is lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than meat or poultry.
• Shellfish varies in cholesterol content. Shellfish have little saturated fat and total
  fat. Even shrimp can be enjoyed occasionally on a TLC Diet provided you eat
  less than 200 milligrams of cholesterol a day. For example, 3 ounces of
  steamed shrimp has 167 milligrams of cholesterol.

Meat Substitute

Dry
peas and beans and tofu (bean curd) are great meat substitutes that are low in
saturated fat and cholesterol. Dry peas and beans also have a lot of fiber,
which can help to lower blood cholesterol. Try adding a ½ cup beans to pasta,
soups, casseroles, and vegetable dishes. Tofu takes on the flavor of marinades
well. Try marinating tofu in a nonfat dressing or a tangy sauce and grilling or
baking for a heart healthy dish.

Foods that are high in cholesterol

Some foods contain cholesterol, but surprisingly they don’t make a big difference to the cholesterol in your blood.  

That’s because most of us eat less than 300mg of cholesterol per day – a small amount compared to the amount of saturated fat we eat.

Cholesterol is made mainly in the liver. But it’s also found in animal foods such as eggs, shellfish, meat and dairy products.

Do I need to cut down on dietary cholesterol?

Most people don’t need to cut down on the cholesterol that’s found in foods- so you can still enjoy eggs and shellfish.

It’s much more important to cut down on foods which contain saturated fats. That’s because saturated fats affect how the liver handles cholesterol. So, eating saturated fats can raise your blood cholesterol. Try to replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats which are better for your heart.

For some people – those with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), those who have high cholesterol, and those who are at high risk of or have cardiovascular disease – the recommendation is to limit cholesterol in food to no more than 300mg a day. In the case of FH, ideally less than 200 mg a day.

Even though dietary cholesterol only has a small effect on blood cholesterol, people with high cholesterol and FH already have high levels of blood cholesterol, so it seems sensible not to eat too much cholesterol in food.

Which foods are high in cholesterol?

All animal foods contain some cholesterol. But by cutting down on the animal foods that contain saturated fats you will be keeping the cholesterol in your diet in check too.

There are some foods which are low in saturated fat but high in cholesterol. These include eggs, some shellfish, liver, liver pate and offal. Most people don’t need to cut down on the cholesterol that’s found in these foods.

For people with FH, or who have high cholesterol, or are at high risk of or have cardiovascular disease, you can still eat some of these foods, but you need to be more careful about how often you eat them to ensure you’re keeping within the guidelines. For example, you could eat three or four eggs a week, and shellfish such as prawns up to once or twice a week.

You should avoid liver and offal altogether because they are very rich sources of cholesterol.

The table below shows the amount of cholesterol in these types of foods:-

Some shellfish such as cockles, mussels, oysters, scallops and clams are all low in cholesterol and in saturated fat and you can eat them as often as you like.

A word about eating liver

Liver is a lean meat which is high in cholesterol. It’s low in saturated fat and high in vitamins and minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, and vitamins A, B and D.

It’s generally a very healthy food to eat, but it’s so high in vitamin A that it’s best not to eat too much of it. For some people, eating liver often could mean that vitamin A builds up in the body, causing health problems.

The government recommends eating no more than one portion per week of liver or liver pate. If you do eat liver, avoid any supplements that also contain vitamin A in the form of retinol.

If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, avoid liver, liver pate and supplements which contain retinol completely.

Women who have been through the menopause should limit liver to no more than once a week.

Foods which don’t contain cholesterol

Cholesterol is only found in foods that come from animals, there is no cholesterol in foods that come from plants. So, there is no cholesterol in fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds, nuts, beans, peas and lentils.

Meat, Poultry, and Fish: Picking Healthy Proteins

Why are chicken, fish and beans better for you than red meat?

In general, red meats (beef, pork and lamb) have more saturated (bad) fat than chicken, fish and vegetable proteins such as beans. Saturated and trans fats can raise your blood cholesterol and make heart disease worse.

The unsaturated fats in fish, such as salmon, actually have health benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish and some plant sources, as part of a heart-healthy diet, can help reduce the risk of heart failure, coronary heart disease, cardiac arrest and the most common type of stroke (ischemic).

There are many types of beans – pinto, kidney, garbanzo, soybeans, etc. – and they’re all good for you. Put lentils, split peas and black-eyed peas on the list, too! You can prepare them without saturated and trans fats for a healthy meal.

Tips for People Who Like Meat

• It’s OK to eat meat as long as you limit the amount and choose healthier types.
• One portion of meat is two to three ounces or about the size of a deck of cards.
• Choose lean cuts of meat. Lean cuts usually contain the words “round,” “loin” or “sirloin” on the package.
• Trim off as much fat as you can before cooking and pour off the melted fat after cooking.
• Use healthier cooking methods: bake, broil, stew and roast.
• Minimize processed red meats like bacon, ham, salami, sausages, hot dogs, beef jerky and deli slices.

Note: Eating a lot of meat is not a healthy way to lose weight, especially if you have heart disease.

How to Eat More Poultry, Fish and Beans

• Breakfast
  • Add them to breakfast tacos, scrambled eggs or a vegetable omelet.
  • Replace bacon and sausage with low-sodium, nitrate-free turkey or veggie bacon.
• Lunch
  • Slice up leftover chicken or turkey for sandwiches.
  • Have a bowl of bean or lentil soup with added veggies.
  • Eat a tuna sandwich on whole grain bread (swap out some of the mayo with ripe avocado).
  • Make a chicken salad with leftover baked or roasted chicken.
  • Have a seafood salad.
• Dinner
  • Grill, bake or microwave chicken breasts. Remove skin before cooking.
  • Sprinkle fish fillets with lemon and salt-free seasonings and bake them.
  • Wrap a whole fish in foil with lemon and onion slices; then bake or grill.
  • Top your salad with beans, fish or chicken.
  • Add beans to a soup or casserole.
  • Make black bean burgers or garbanzo bean burgers from scratch.

Many people choose not to eat meat for various reasons, including health. You can get all the nutrients your body needs without eating meat. For people who don’t want to eat meat (or much meat), there are many healthy ways to get enough protein. A one-cup serving of cooked beans, peas, lentils or tofu can replace a 2-ounce serving of meat, poultry or fish.  Two ounces of peanut butter counts as 1 ounce of meat.

AHA Recommendation

• Choose nonfried fish, shellfish, poultry without the skin, and trimmed lean meats, no more than 5.5 ounces, cooked, per day.
• Enjoy up to 8 ounces of nonfried fish (especially oily fish) each week, which may be divided over two 3.5- to 4-ounce servings.
• Choose salt-free seasonings such as spices, herbs and other flavorings in cooking and at the table.
• Select meat substitutes such as beans, peas, lentils or tofu in entrees, salads or soups.

Shopping Tips

• Non-fried fish and shellfish such as shrimp, crab and lobster are lower in saturated fat and a healthy alternative to many cuts of meat.
• Choose fish high in omega-3 fatty acids such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon. Some types of fish contain high levels of mercury, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), dioxins and other environmental contaminants. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or nursing — and young children — should avoid eating potentially contaminated fish.
• Choose cuts of meat that have the least amount of visible fat. Buy “choice” or “select” grades of beef rather than “prime.”
• Choose lean or extra lean ground beef (no more than 15% fat).
• Choose poultry that has not been injected with fats or broths.

Preparation Tips

• A 3-ounce cooked portion is about the size of a deck of cards. To help you judge serving sizes, a 3-ounce portion equals:
• 1/2 of a chicken breast or a chicken leg with thigh (without skin)
• 3/4 cup of flaked fish
• 2 thin slices of lean roast beef (each slice 3″ x 3″ x 1/4″)
• Trim all visible fat off of meats.
• Instead of frying, prepare meats by baking, broiling, roasting, microwaving or stir-frying. Pour off the fat after browning.
• Remove the skin and fat under the skin before cooking poultry pieces. (The exception is when roasting a whole chicken or turkey. Remove the skin before carving and serving the meat.)
• Chill meat juices after cooking, so that you can easily skim off the hardened fat. Then you can add the juices to stews, soups and gravy.

Foods that may improve your cholesterol level

Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance suspended in your blood. It is made by your liver and is also found in some foods you eat. Your total cholesterol blood test value includes three parts:

• LDL, low density lipoprotein, cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol)
• HDL, high density lipoprotein, cholesterol (the “good” cholesterol)
• triglycerides. This is a fat digested from food that is released into your bloodstream. It either gives your body energy or it is stored as fat. Triglycerides come from dietary fat, high-sugar foods, too much alcohol or too many calories.

When too much LDL builds up on your artery walls, plaque forms and blocks blood flow. This can cause heart disease, peripheral vascular disease and stroke.

HDL helps to get rid of extra cholesterol from your blood vessels. This may prevent or reverse problems by taking the cholesterol from the plaque.

You can lower your LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and raise your HDL cholesterol by taking cholesterol-lowering medicine, getting regular exercise, making changes to your eating or doing all three. The following tips can help you get started.

• Read the nutrition facts label.
  • Eat less saturated fat (found in animal products and some vegetable oils). Saturated fat raises your LDL. If you are eating 2,000 calories a day, limit saturated fat to less than 22 grams a day.
  • Look for foods with unsaturated (“good”) fats. Good fats include heart-healthful monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
  • Choose foods with 0 grams of trans fats. Trans fats raise your LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and lower your HDL (“good” cholesterol). Also read the ingredients list to see if the food contains hydrogenated oils.
• Lose weight if you need to. Decrease your daily calories and increase exercise to lose weight, lower your cholesterol and lower your LDL.
• Do 40 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity 3 to 4 times a week. Examples of activities you could do include brisk walking, jogging, biking, aerobics or yard work.

What is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance suspended in your blood. It is made by your liver and is also found in some foods you eat.

Your total cholesterol blood test value includes three parts:

LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol is “bad” cholesterol. When too much LDL builds up on your artery walls, plaque forms and blocks blood flow. This can cause heart disease, peripheral artery disease and stroke.

HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol is the “good” cholesterol. HDL helps to get rid of extra cholesterol from your blood and tissue. This may prevent or reverse blood vessel problems by taking the cholesterol from the plaque.

Triglycerides is a fat digested from food that is released into your bloodstream. It either gives your body energy or it is stored as fat. Triglycerides come from dietary fat, high sugar foods, too much alcohol or too many calories.

Meats

Eat no more than four to seven ounces of fish, poultry or lean meat a day. Try to include some meatless meals in your weekly eating plan.

• Choose tuna, salmon, lake trout, halibut, sardines, chicken or turkey (no skin), shellfish, lamb, lean cuts of beef and pork (labeled “round,” “chuck,” “loin,” “tenderloin,” “sirloin,” “chop,” “choice,” “select”).
• Limit bacon, luncheon or processed meats (hot dogs, sausage), organ meats (liver, kidney), marbled cuts of meat (T-bone steak, roasts).

Dairy products

Eat three servings of fat-free or low-fat dairy products every day.

• Choose fat-free or low-fat dairy products such as milk or yogurt, cheese with less than six grams of fat per ounce.
• Limit 2% or whole milk, cheese with more than six grams of fat per ounce, ice cream, half-and-half, whipped cream.

Fats and oils

Eat no more than three to six teaspoons of fats and oils a day (one serving is equal to five grams of fat or one teaspoon). Saturated fats and trans fats promote plaque formation.

• Choose olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, flaxseed oil, low-fat condiments, soft tub margarines or peanut butter without hydrogenated oils (0 grams trans fat), avocados, nuts, seeds.
• Limit butter, lard, bacon fat, coconut, coconut oil, palm kernel oil.
• Eliminate trans fats or products made with hydrogenated oils.

Eggs

Eat no more than two eggs yolks a day. Use egg substitute or egg whites if you are eating more than eight egg yolks a week.

Fruits and vegetables

Eat four and a half cups of fruit and vegetables every day.

• Choose fresh or frozen vegetables and fruits, no-salt-added canned vegetables, canned fruits in juice (not syrup), dried fruits (in moderation unless your health care provider or dietitian gives you other instructions).
• Limit fried vegetables or vegetables made in butter, cream or other sauces; fruits with sugar, butter, cream or other sauces.

Starches, grains (breads) and legumes

Make half of your grains whole grains. The amount you need each day depends on your age, gender and calorie needs.

• Choose low-fat baked goods (angel food cake), brown rice, whole-grain pasta, corn, baked potatoes, dried peas and beans, whole-grain breads and cereals.
• Limit pies, cakes, pastries, muffins, doughnuts, croissants, quick breads, cookies, crackers, granola, chips, fried foods.

Pork vs Beef – Health impact and Nutrition Comparison

Introduction

Pork vs Beef. Which is healthier to eat and in which condition? These are the sort of questions you may ask yourselves at least once in a while. Then you suddenly remember something your grandma kept saying and go with the answer. We decided to dig deeper and explore the differences from a more scientific perspective.

Considerations

Please consider that we are referring to lean meet here. Sausages, bacon and other processed meat are not considered as a subject of comparison in this article. Comparing beef with pork sausage for instance, might result in conclusions very different from the ones that we’ll have here.

Bans and Religion

Several religions ban the consumption of pig meat altogether. Although there are some mentions about not eating it in Christian Bible, the modern church allows eating it. However, most Jewish communities prohibit it. Jewish dietary law “Kashrut”states that only the animals which chew their own cud and have divided hoofs should be eaten by the followers of the religion. Pigs do not satisfy the second condition which puts them to the blacklist. Islam has its own list of prohibited foods called “Haram” based on a similar approach which puts pork out of the permitted food list.
Beef on the other hand is a respected creature of God in Hinduism. There are laws in India prohibiting the slaughtering of cows which vary by state. You can go to jail from 6 months up to 10 years depending on your state if you slaughtered a cow in India.

Consumption comparison

Not seeing any scientific evidence in the old religious customs we can go on with our analysis and look at the usage statistics. The data of USDA’s Foreign Agricultural service states that pork consumption in the world is twice as big as beef consumption. However, looking at US results separately reveals approximately equal results, with beef being ahead by a small amount.
Pork seems to be popular in countries like China, European Union, Taiwan, South Korea, Montenegro and Vietnam. Beef is extremely popular in Uruguay and Argentina, followed by Paraguay, United States and Brazil. Among the countries with low consumption of pork are India, Nigeria, Philippines Thailand and Iran. (the data we are referring is for year 2015).

Nutrition comparison

It’s time to discuss the most interesting and scientific part of the comparison – nutrition. In order to nutritionally compare two foods we have to fix their states, i.e cooked or raw, salted or not etc. We chose these two similar states of the foods

Beef, ground, 85% lean meat / 15% fat, patty, cooked, broiled

Pork, fresh, loin, whole, separable lean and fat, cooked, broiled

Both are cooked and broiled and both contain some usual share of fat. So with this selection we have pork winning in 3 important categories; namely, Lower in Saturated Fats, Lower in Cholesterol and Lower in Sodium. Though the difference is not so big, the winner takes it all anyway. Besides, it is lower in calories and overall fats. The protein quality of it is also higher, because the quantity of all amino acids is higher.

Vitamins comparison

Let’s move to vitamins now. Pork is drastically richer in B1 , fairly richer in B2 and E. Considered as very important lately, vitamin D is completely absent from Beef while Pork has 13% of daily value in just 100 grams. On the other hand Beef is radically higher in Vitamin B12

Minerals comparison

What about MInerals? Here we have a slightly different picture. Beef is radically higher in Iron and Zinc. Pork is slightly better in Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Choline while Beef beats pork in Copper and Manganese.

Cholesterol

Ground beef with 15% fat has a cholesterol content of 80, while the cholesterol content of fresh pig’s whole loin is 88. The highest level of cholesterol in both beef and pork is found in the liver.

However, cholesterol content can differ depending on what part of the meat it is. The highest amount of cholesterol in beef meat is found in a corned beef brisket with 98mg per 100g. The lowest is found in strip steak (55mg per 100g). 

Ground pork with 28% fat has 100mg of cholesterol per 100g. Pulled pork contains only 35mg of cholesterol in a 100g serving.

Overall, pork tends to have lower cholesterol levels than beef, but it all depends on the type of meat. 

Thus, nutrition comparison summary is in a way on the side of pork. In any case it’s definite that it is not worse by the results of surface nutritional analysis.

Which is safer for babies ?

Actually, many forums still recommend not giving pork to children at the age when they can freely eat beef. Other blogs insist that it is at least as healthy as beef is and recommend it for babies as early as 7 or 8 months old. Looking at the most official source – USDA’s recommendations for babies we can see that both foods are listed together without any reservations and warnings, and both are safe to eat starting from the same age.

What makes some think Pork is bad ?

What makes some people think that pork is evil then ? Why is it prohibited in many religions and why many of us do not give it to our children for a long time ? There are various statements that some resources keep stating. Please find the more common ones below.

1)Some are referring to processed pork , such as sausages, bacon or salami, while talking about it.

Many processed forms may really be dangerous for health but we are not discussing them now and are talking about lean pork such as tenderloin, sirloin chops or top loin chops.

2) Does pork contain more viruses toxins or parasites?

As we all know they all die if you cook them with high enough temperature. For that USDA has defined its recommended temperatures for cooking various types of meat.

More importantly the recommended temperature is the same for both foods. It’s 145 °F for both, and 160°F for ground meat. So whatever viruses these types of red meat have, they all die at the same temperature according to scientists.

3) Pig is a dirty animal and eats whatever it wants.

This partially depends on how the cow, the pig or the chicken are handled on what they are being fed. Grass fed beef really differs from not grass fed one which is a topic for a future article. We should always think of how the animal was fed regardless of the type of meat. And finally, after cooking with USDA recommended temperature we kill all the viruses and parasites as covered in the previous headline.

Environment impact

National Academy of Sciences published a study in February 2014, which revealed that beef is extremely damaging to the environment. The study was comparing the environmental cost spent to feed and raise animals which are used as protein sources for humans. It showed that cows need around 28 times more land than pork or poultry, require 11 times more irrigation, produce much more greenhouse gas and consume lot more nitrogen. To summarize, cowis damaging the environment 10 times more than any other protein source.

Summary

It is very important to choose the right cuts of both foods and not use proceed ones. When comparing good cuts of both, pork appears to be slightly better nutritionally, except for the beef being richer in Iron and Zinc. Beef is consumed two times less in the world overall. Various conversations about pork being more “dirty” and full of viruses seem to have no scientific evidence, assuming it is cooked using USDA’s recommended temperature. It’s safe to give pork to children and eat it as long as your religious views allow it. Beef is drastically more damaging to the environment.

Pork, its useful properties and value

1. Features of pork
2. Pork in medical and preventive nutrition
3. Nutritional value of pork
4. Features of storage of pork
5. Useful links related to pork

Features of pork

Pork is the most easily digestible meat after lamb, and pork fat is much less harmful than beef for the heart and blood vessels.Another distinctive feature of pork is the high content of B vitamins, which neither beef nor lamb can boast of. Young mothers are advised to eat pork legs, as the meat from this part of the pork carcass contributes to the production of breast milk.

Generally speaking, pork is different from other types of meat:

• lighter color of muscle tissue,
• the presence of layers of fat inside the meat – marbling,
• the presence of fat – a thick layer of subcutaneous fat,
• white internal fat.

The meat of adult animals is pale red, dense, with pronounced marbling. It should be clarified that well-fed animals will have a pink-red color with a gray tint, a delicate and elastic consistency, and underfed animals will have a more juicy red color.

Pig meat is pale pink or pale red in color, with layers of fat, tender and dense.

It is generally accepted that the lighter and fatter the pork, the higher it is valued.

Pork meat is rich in zinc and magnesium, so eating it has a positive effect on the potency and work of the cardiovascular system. Pork also contains the amino acid lysine, which is essential for the proper formation of bones.

One serving of pork liver contains as much vitamin B12 as the human body needs for a month. Pork lard is rich in selenium and arachidonic acid, which, when consumed in moderation, makes it a good antidepressant.

Pork in medical and preventive nutritionup

These types of food use edged pork with removed surface fat, which has a useful nutritional value according to the following criteria:

1. High protein content – about 22%
2. High calorie content – about 1700 kcal / kg
3. Low fat content – about 9%

It should be especially noted that pork fat is not inferior to milk fat in its digestibility, surpassing beef and lamb in this.In its composition, it contains up to 23 mg% vitamin E exhibiting antioxidant properties, 50% oleic acid and 6% linoleic acid – the most important unsaturated fatty acids.

If we compare pork and beef in terms of the content of connective tissue, then there is less of it in pork meat, and it is more evenly distributed over the volume of the carcass. Therefore, pork boils better, and the consistency of culinary products from it is more complex.

It is advisable to use pork liver dishes in baby food.This is due to the fact that it has a high content of vitamins:

1. vitamin A – 12mg%
2. holil – 552 mg%

In medical and preventive nutrition, pork is used for gastritis with high acidity. The high content of vitamin B 12 determines the value of low-fat pork meat for anemia, and the presence of a significant amount of vitamin D in baby food. In malignant anemia, the pork stomach is an effective remedy.

Pork kidneys and liver contain an important vitamin biotin, which plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism, interacting with the pancreatic hormone insulin:

1. pork liver – 250 gamma%
2. pork kidneys – 180 gamma%

Biotin is also highly important for kidney function.

Features of pork storageup

To preserve all the nutritional and taste properties of pork meat, it must be stored in the refrigerator.If you plan to use the meat today or tomorrow, then you do not need to put it in the freezer – pork is stored outside the freezer for about two days. Meat purchased for use must be properly prepared and stored in the freezer – the shelf life in this case can be up to 3-4 months.

Be sure to clean the meat from wrapping paper and other elements of trade, transportation and processing: pieces of string, small debris, etc. It is not necessary to wash the meat before storing it, as the water may contain microorganisms that will accelerate its deterioration.

For short-term storage of pork, place the meat in a suitable container, for example a deep plate or saucepan, and cover with a lid so that it does not press on the pulp and there is air access to the meat. The container will help prevent the juice from spreading over the refrigerator, and the lid will prevent it from drying out excessively.

Before freezing for long-term storage in the freezer, pork must be tightly wrapped with cling film or put in a plastic bag that must be tied tightly.

Pork legs and bacon are much less suitable for long-term storage by freezing, this is due to the fact that the salt they contain can give the lard a rancid taste.

Raw smoked ham and bacon can be stored for up to a month, but hot smoked ham and bacon should not be frozen at all.

Harm of pork.Science only and no religion

The value of growth hormone. Pork contains large amounts of growth hormone, which is a causative factor in the development of inflammation, hypertrophy and tissue swelling (acromegaly, obesity, a tendency to pathological growths, including malignant ones).

Hence the answer to the question about the reasons for the growth of cancers in 60-70-year-old patients during the period of food reform in Germany. With the use of pork, not only is there an excess intake of cholesterol in the body, which is a building material of tumor cells, but also growth hormone, which stimulates the development of malignant tumors.At the same time, smokers, against the background of the intake of benzpyrene, the main component of tobacco smoke and a carcinogen, many times increase the risk of developing cancer.

The known itching effect of pork is due to the increased content of histamine in it, which contributes to the occurrence of inflammatory processes, thereby the development of furunculosis, carbuncle, appendicitis, diseases of the gallbladder, thrombophlebitis, leucorrhoea, abscesses and phlegmon, as well as skin diseases (urticaria, eczema, , neurodermatitis, dermatoses).

After the food reform in Germany, there were many cases of urticaria in older women, slightly less in children when eating pork. At the same time, Apis D12, Sulfur D30 improved the condition.

In the course of treatment, it is prohibited to eat pork in any form, including veal liver sausages, liverworms, etc. Almost all sausages contain either pork or lard, with the exception of those that indicate the absence of pork.

In experiments on animals, it was proved that the injection of histamine and imidazole-like compounds (for example, ergothionine) caused the development of stomach ulcers, itching, inflammatory and allergic reactions, bronchial asthma, hay fever, vasomotor rhinitis, cardiac arrhythmias, up to myocardial infarction.Therefore, persons who have had myocardial infarction or are predisposed to it are prohibited from eating pork.

Another group of substances, causing a load on the physiological systems of the body – imprecisely differentiated blood factors, designated as oncogenic agents, endobionts, spore-forming inclusions (Siphonosporo polymorpha), specific inclusions in erythrocytes. According to Speransky, they act as cancer markers. Pork blood is especially rich in them (in particular, in spore-forming inclusions).

Another very important toxic factor of pork is the influenza virus, which, according to the virologist prof. Shore, resides in pig lungs in summer and is almost always found in sausages.

According to Letters, the lung connective tissue is a favorable breeding ground for the virus. In it, he stays in an invisible latent eclears stage until favorable conditions for reproduction arise, for example, in early spring with a lack of vitamin, weak solar insolation, hypothermia.This is another route of transmission and influenza epidemics. In other words, the daily consumption of pork is the daily intake of the influenza virus in the human body. Only, the use of American lard can explain the occurrence of mass epidemics with fatal outcomes during the 1st World War.

A link has also been established between the purchase of Canadian canned pork in November in Germany and the occurrence of an influenza epidemic or the winter consumption of cooked pork at home in January-February and the occurrence of an epidemic.

It is known that in the countries of the Muslim world there are no flu epidemics, since they do not use pork for food. However, it should be noted that influenza epidemics can arise from the consumption of horse meat, also affected by the influenza virus.

Some observations on the role of dietary patterns.

Their results were published in 1955. White rats that ate pork developed a tendency toward cannibalism. In the process of feeding from several months to a year they have.cancerous tumors of various parts of the body and skin diseases developed, which was not the case in the control group of rats with a normal diet. They had practically no cases of cannibalism. The results of a comprehensive analysis testified to the toxic and carcinogenic effects of pork on the body of experimental animals.

Facts from practice are known. So, boxer dogs are not fed pork, because otherwise they develop itchy skin and skin diseases, accompanied by an expression of itching.Some circus animals (lions, tigers) are also not given pork in order to avoid excess weight, high blood pressure, nosebleeds. Trout producers have noticed that if it is fed with chopped pork, the development of fish is sharply inhibited, and subsequently the trout dies.

Homotoxicology of pork.

According to G. Reckeweg, homotoxin is a human poison, which, once it enters the human body, activates the great defense system and causes the development of diseases.The term “homotoxicology”, introduced by G. Reckeweg, means a branch of science that investigates the action of homotoxins and is engaged in the development of biological agents for their elimination from the body. At the same time, from the point of view of homotoxicology, pork is considered as a complex of homotoxins that cause intoxication of the human body and are called pig toxins.

Animal fats that enter the human body with food are deposited and have the specific structure and biochemical composition of the animal to which they belong.The blood washing the fat depots carries their components with the formation of high-molecular compounds that play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis, hypertension, plethora, impaired blood supply to connective tissue, especially endocrine glands, and impaired coronary blood flow. Food rich in fats, especially pork fat, in combination with stressful loads, causes intoxication of the connective tissue.

Pork specific load substances

What are the differences between pork and other meats? The difference is not only in calories.There are a number of other features:

Pork itself is extremely fatty. Even so-called lean pork contains high amounts of fat and is mainly in the form of fat cells, unlike beef and lamb. In general, mutton has significantly less cell fat than pork. With the abundant use of pork, which also contains a lot of carbohydrates and proteins, conditions are created for the deposition of connective tissue fat, for the development of obesity.

Pork toxins and diseases caused by them (according to G.Reckewegu)

Some biological similarities and analogies

It is known that the internal anatomical structure of a pig is very similar to that of a human. Therefore, where there is a ban on sectional studies on humans, they are carried out on pigs. There are also great similarities in the structure of the skin.

The criminals organizers of the massacres Hamann and Kurten processed human meat into sausages and sold it as pork, since it is almost impossible to establish differences in taste.

During World War I, a man was identified who processed the meat of dead women for sausages. One of the residents of New Guinea, who ate his wife and daughter in turn, said: “It was so delicious.” On the islands of Polynesia, where cannibalism exists, it is believed that there is no difference between the meat of a pig and a person to taste.

The similarity between humans and pigs is also manifested in the generality of biochemical processes. According to Lettre, during therapy with freshly prepared cells, high molecular weight compounds exhibit tropism towards the organs and tissues from which they are prepared.

Scrofula and tuberculosis.

Scrofula is a disease of children, in which there is an inflammatory lesion of the glands with decay and the formation of fistulas. The glands are similar to clusters located on the child’s neck, which sometimes gives them an external resemblance to a pig (Scorpha-pig, Scorphula-pig). The main cause of the disease is the consumption of pork.

Eating pork activates the entire cellular defense system of the body.After digestion in the intestine, and resynthesis in the lymphatic vessels, the products of processing and cleavage of pork enter the thoracic lymphatic duct, then the superior vena cava. The inflammatory reaction of the lymph nodes is manifested by their hypertrophy and swelling, pain, fever, suppuration, fistula formation, and the onset of eczema. This is a hydrogenoid constitution with a characteristic sensitivity to moisture and cold, i.e. exudative diathesis.

The main cause of scrofula is monotonous diet (few vegetables, vitamin deficiency).

Today, the most frequently observed initial form of scrofula is umbilical colic, enlargement of mesenteric lymph nodes, lymph nodes of the lung root, transformation into tuberculosis of the lymph nodes of the lung root.

Pork addiction?

When pork is banned, such people usually say, “But doctor, this is so delicious.” They find all possible and impossible reasons to only eat pork, while knowing full well about its toxic effects on the body, about possible diseases and disorders, like alcoholics or smokers.

Sex hormones as carcinogens

There is no doubt that the sex hormones of the pig (especially the wild boar) have a great influence on the quality of the meat. It is no coincidence that wild boars are castrated several weeks or months before slaughter, otherwise the meat will emit a fetid odor and is practically unsuitable for consumption.

There are suggestions about the carcinogenicity of porcine sex hormones. Despite the fact that there are a number (anatomical, biochemical, etc.) similarities between a pig and a person, a pig is a negative image of a person.She has few muscles and bones, a lot of mucous and adipose connective tissue. It is a seriously ill animal: heart lipoidosis, fatty degeneration of the liver, etc. It is a reservoir of a huge amount of toxins for humans: fats, cholesterol, growth hormone, mucous-swelling substance, etc.

Homotoxicology as a solution to the problem.

Pork can be excreted not only by the usual physiological routes: through urine, air, feces, sweat, but also by pathological ones, for example, through inflammation.

Depending on what parts of pork a person eats, then various diseases arise, in particular, the gallbladder with stone formation (cholecystitis), biliary colic and acute inflammation of the cecum (appendicitis), as well as complications such as thrombosis and embolism due to the gradual deposition of pork toxins. Inflammation does not always occur, but more often the deposition (cumulation) of pork components, especially its mucous and lipid components, in the connective tissue, which is manifested by various kinds of deposits and compaction, obesity.Those who most often eat sausages have a deforming cylindrical development of the limbs and shoulder girdle, especially in ham lovers. In such conditions, reserves are reduced, peripheral, cerebral and coronary circulation is impaired.

Typical sufferings of patients with deposition of porcine toxins in the occipital region are occipital carbuncles, boils, hydradenitis. People who often use pork chops have appendicitis, gallstone colic, cholangitis, cholecystitis, empyema of the gallbladder, etc.

Chronic exposure to pork toxins as a result of the systematic consumption of pork is the main cause of cerebral blood flow disorders, strokes, which is associated with deposits of ucopolysaccharides in the basement membrane. does not withstand its own loads. This is how arthritis and arthrosis arise. If there are diseases such as leucorrhoea, erosion of the cervix, then biologically correct treatment is to completely ban the consumption of pork in order to stop the further intake of pork toxins.

G. Reckeweg’s homotoxicology states that all diseases are nothing more than the mobilization of protective measures against toxins or damage as a result of the ingestion of toxins. It is absurd to treat fever, flu, sore throat with chemical drugs (analgesics, antibiotics, etc.), since they do not affect the elimination of toxins (endotoxins), but only destroy microorganisms. In diseases, bacteria do not play the role of initiators of the disease, but indicators. They saprophyte in the inflamed tissues slagged with pork toxins, dissolving the bed of toxins, thereby being an auxiliary factor in their elimination.

Therefore, in case of intoxication, there should be adequate biological treatment – Bryonia, Mercurius solubilis, Hepar sulfuris, Echinacea comp., Traumeel should be borne in mind: the meat of wild pigs is also toxic, as well as domestic ones, with the only difference that the former have less fat. There should be a total ban on pork in hospitals. Do not believe someone who, in his 90s, talks about the constant use of Pork. As well as the so-called. healthy peasants who eat pork. Real evidence of their condition: chronic arthrosis, hepatopathy, rheumatism, etc.Therefore, it is no accident that the prohibition on pork sounds from the lips of the prophet Moses, this is stated in the Koran. The biological age of a person is, on average, 150 years. The inhabitants of the Caucasus, Turkey, Islamic countries, where centenarians do not eat pork, are constantly in good health, are approaching him.

Another modern aspect of pork inferiority.

According to veterinary control data, approximately 20% of pork meat has a light watery appearance, 5% is dark red.Both types of meat have a drastically changed pH, and hence – different content of water, electrolytes, palatability, shelf life. Biochemical processes that unfold in the first 24 hours after slaughter determine the degree of oxidation of muscle mass. Thus, stress before slaughter (transportation, loading, etc.) in sensitive animals causes an increased production of ATP and glycogen in muscles. In addition, during this period lactic acid is released from the muscles into the blood, which sharply changes the pH of the meat towards an increase in the water content of the meat, on the contrary, lactic acid remains in the muscles and therefore they have a low pH.Typically, after slaughter, the pH is 7.2, and after 6-10 hours, 5.4 – 5.8. For comparison: for beef after 12 – 24 hours 5.3 – 5.7. In dark meat, the pH barely reaches 6.2. Its quality is lower. It is dehydrated, dark red. When salted – low resistance, tendency to decay.

General information.

Some people think that a little pork is fine to eat. This is mistake. A scanty amount is also a poison that enters the weak points of the body called Loci minoris resistentiae.Unfortunately, many doctors show complete incompetence in this matter: sometimes, instead of prohibiting a patient from eating pork, they strongly recommend it as a dietary product. According to G. Reckeweg, one must always remember that pork consists of toxic material (fat, mucus, histamines, inflammation initiators, dangerous hormones, etc.), which undergo rotting in the intestines, turning into a typical dung mass. Therefore, if you want to prevent manure diseases, do not eat pork under any circumstances and in any form.It should be emphasized that the quality of beef, lamb, poultry, roe deer, and deer is not in doubt from the point of view of ecological purity. In this case, it is better not to eat hare and rabbit meat.

Doctors named the most useful and most dangerous fish for the heart

As a source of animal protein, marine fish is a better choice than, for example, beef, pork or poultry

The advice of cardiologists to prioritize fish over meat is well known. But fish, it turns out, can be different: one benefits the heart, the other can harm.

When it comes to a heart-healthy diet, fish is one of the essential ingredients. And as a source of animal protein, it is a better choice than, for example, beef, pork or poultry, says nutritionist Lee Ann Weintraub.

Fish is high in heart-healthy unsaturated fats, while animal meat is higher in saturated fat, which can raise blood cholesterol levels. Replacing red meat with fish can lead to healthier and longer lives, a new study published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology has shown. “Of course, lean meats and poultry are lower in saturated fat and fat in general, but fish are much healthier for the heart,” says Weintraub.

Fish is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce blood cholesterol and blood pressure. In addition, as reported by the American Heart Association, eating fish reduces the likelihood of developing heart defects.

The healthiest fish

• Salmon

• Mackerel

• Herring

• Trout

• Sardines

• Tuna

The most dangerous fish

• King mackerel

• Marlin (also known as makaira)

• Icelandic Berix (also known as Atlantic Bighead)

• Shark

• Swordfish

• Kafelnik

• Yellowfin tuna

• Bigeye tuna

These larger fish store more mercury and toxins in their bodies when they eat other fish, and are therefore a riskier choice.

The American Heart Association recommends eating fish dishes at least twice a week. You can also include seafood such as shrimp or crustaceans in your diet.

Doctors named the beneficial and harmful properties of barbecue

This dish is one of the most popular for outdoor recreation.

The benefits of barbecue

First of all, you need to pay attention to the calorie content of the dish.It should be noted that kebab is one of the safest and healthiest methods of cooking meat. The thing is that it is fried without oil, retaining the maximum benefit. But at the same time, meat contains fats, which directly affects the calorie content of the dish.

Of course, the calorie content of a shish kebab depends on the type of meat you choose to cook:

chicken – 148 kcal. There are only 4% unsaturated fat in it (this is the least fatty variety), 48% protein and 30% cholesterol;

pork – 173 kcal.Unsaturated fats – 9%, proteins – 28%, and cholesterol – 24%;

from lamb – 187 kcal Unsaturated fat – 12%, protein – 47%, cholesterol – 30%;

from beef – 193 kcal. Saturated fat 14%, protein 28%, cholesterol 27%.

These indicators are typical for 100 grams of barbecue, without marinade.

The liquid in which the meat is soaked directly affects the increase in calorie content. It should be noted that mayonnaise will, of course, be fatter and more nutritious than vinegar dressing.Do not forget that sauce (ketchup, for example) and other snacks, such as bread, onions, vegetables, will add calorie content to the kebab. After all, rarely does a person eat only meat, preferring various additives.

So, the use of a barbecue is determined by the fact that this meat is an irreplaceable component in the diet of every person. There is a lot of protein in the kebab, but its amount varies depending on the selected variety. In addition, there are amino acids in meat that are beneficial in terms of strengthening muscle tissue, circulatory system and immunity.

Even when fried, kebab meat will retain most of the vitamins and minerals that are in the raw product. The most beneficial are B vitamins, which can improve the functioning of all body systems.

Among the minerals, iron will be beneficial, which is very abundant in the kebab. We need it to improve blood circulation, prevent the development of anemia.

Calcium and phosphorus are also stored in the kebab, which are necessary for strengthening bones, improving the functioning of the nervous system, and producing testosterone.Especially the benefits will affect men.

It should be noted that calorie content can also be a benefit of a barbecue. After all, this makes the product extremely nutritious, quickly saturating the body and giving it energy for the whole day.

Harm of barbecue

However, one should not think that everything is so rosy. Kebab can also be harmful. In particular, this applies to carcinogens that accumulate on the surface of fried meat. And the main harm in this case is an increase in the likelihood of developing cancer, which are caused by a large number of carcinogens.

Also in the kebab there is cholesterol, which in large quantities can lead to the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels and arteries, disturbances in the work of the heart. And accordingly, and premature death.

Ready-made kebabs can be dangerous if stored for a long time. In the open air, bacteria and various microorganisms can enter it, which can be harmful. Therefore, it is recommended to eat barbecue immediately after cooking. If this is not possible, then you need to store it correctly – in an airtight container at a temperature of 2-4 degrees for no more than 36 hours.

Why can’t dogs pork? Find out the answer

Experienced dog breeders know very well that pork takes almost the first place in the list of foods undesirable in the diet of pets. However, not all owners can explain why pig meat fell under this ban and why it is worse than beef or turkey meat.

Reasons for the ban

The very first reason pork is much less preferable than other types of meat is its infestation with parasites.Not all farms comply with the veterinary standards for keeping pigs.

As a result of violation of breeding technology, animals lack immunity to some dangerous pathologies, so they can be carriers of helminthiasis, pork tapeworm, swine herpes virus, trichinosis, Aujeszky’s disease (latent rabies), etc. It should be noted that not only pork is dangerous meat, but also boar.

If a dog accidentally tastes even a small piece of raw pork, parasites will settle in its body.You can reduce the risk of infection by boiling meat for an hour, however, some larvae of pathogens, for example, Trichinella, are unusually tenacious and can persist even after heat treatment.

Second reason: pork is very fatty and causes digestive upset. The dog’s body does not digest this type of meat poorly due to the insufficient amount of enzymes necessary for the breakdown of fats. It has been proven that there is a relationship between the frequent consumption of pork and the occurrence of such dangerous diseases as diabetes, enteritis, cardiovascular, hepatic, and renal pathologies.

The fact is that unbroken fat, penetrating into the dog’s body, goes straight into the circulatory system. This contributes to increased cholesterol, the occurrence of cholesterol plaques and obesity.

Third Reason: Pork can cause volvulus. Fortunately, this trouble does not threaten all dogs, but only young shepherd dogs, so close attention should be paid to their diet.

Recommendations for owners

Despite the fact that pork is dangerous for dogs, it is not worth giving up completely.It contains vitamins, minerals and amino acids necessary for the normal functioning of the body.

Of course, daily use of the product will harm the health of a pet, but sometimes, in rare cases, the dog can be pampered with a piece of pork. For example, in winter as protection from frost, tasty meat is used as a hearty treat.

The main thing is that it is previously subjected to heat treatment due to possible infection with parasites. Preference should be given to fresh young meat with the lowest fat content, which has passed a sanitary examination for the absence of parasites.

In no case should you give fried pork. This method of preparing food for dogs is not acceptable. And it’s not so much about fat as about oil, which is a carcinogen.

Meat and offal (heart, lungs, liver, etc.) should be boiled and given in small pieces. No salt, spices or seasonings are added.

Some owners are sure that frozen meat guarantees the safety of the dog. Far from it, no, so it’s best not to risk it.

If pork is given to a dog for the first time, then it is necessary to carefully monitor the body’s reaction to an unfamiliar product.
