Pork cuts that are good for health
According to an article on the Hồng Ngọc Hospital website, pork has two types of meat: lean meat and fatty meat. Fatty meat contains a lot of fat while the amount of protein is very little. Eating too much of this type of meat can lead to obesity or high blood fat.
The majority of protein is found in lean meat. In addition, lean meat also contains a lot of hemoglobin, which helps prevent anemia. Therefore, lean pork is highly regarded for health.

Pork, beef, or red meat in general provide a lot of calories and superior nutrients. However, excessive consumption can lead to health risks such as excessive protein, increased cholesterol.
The International Cancer Prevention Fund and the American Cancer Research Institute recommend the following:
Consume red meat no more than 3 times a week, with a total amount of red meat in a week ranging from 350 – 500g after cooking (equivalent to a maximum of about 700g of raw meat and excluding the weight of bones). If calculated per day, the amount of red meat should not exceed 70g/day (cooked meat), equivalent to about 100g/day of raw meat excluding the bone.
The recommendations also recommend using lean meat, increasing the consumption of poultry, fish, eggs, and milk as substitutes for red meat in daily meals to ensure an adequate supply of protein and minerals.
