You know, there are a lot of reports and research that can prove that just about anything in this world is bad for us and/ or will give us cancer. Heck, the air we breathe can make us croak over and I am sure there is some sort of report or research that can prove it. Yes, I consider myself to live a moderate lifestyle and I do enjoy reading some of the reports about new research that affects our health, but I am not the type of person who gets scared about everything they read and eliminates food products that have specific ingredients. There is nothing wrong with being aware of what you bring into your households, but I know that I am not going to read every single ingredient on everything I purchase. I bring this up because I know there are a lot of opinions and information about how pork isn’t good for us. However, I don’t really believe it. Now sure if you eat a pound of bacon a day, you are sure to experience some uncomfortable health issues. However, leans cuts of pork like these Easy Grilled Pork Chops are great for any well balanced healthy diet.
Here are a few facts about pork that you may or may not be aware of:
- Pork has high protein content (around 20%)
- Pork is loaded with Vitamins B1, B2, B6, and B12
- Pork is full of iron and mineral (great for people with anemia like me)
Lean cuts of pork have everything that we need to be healthy and to even burn fat!
Now I appreciate all eating lifestyles from vegan to raw, to Paleo, and vegetarian. However, I mostly believe that us homo-sapiens just need to have a clean and well-balanced diet that is full of lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. To show you all how much I appreciate pork, I am giving away an awesome prize pack. This is probably the best giveaway I ever had on my blog.
