Pig fat is super food?You have to be careful not to eat
May 26, 2025
Pig fat, which had a strong perception of being harmful to health, recently ranked 8th in the 'super food' rankings, drawing attention. This is because it contains many beneficial ingredients in our body, such as vitamin B1 and vitamin D.
Then, is it okay to actively use pig fat when going on a diet.
◇ Vitamin B1 in pig fat, breaking down carbohydrates 'Energy booster'
Pork is rich in vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 plays a key role in converting carbohydrates into energy and helps boost body vitality. The vitamin B1 content of pork is estimated to be about six times that of beef.
"Vitamin B1 is an enzyme that is essential for breaking down carbohydrates and converting them into 'adenosine triphosphate (ATP)' that we use as energy," said Kim Jong-un, head of the 365mc All New Gangnam headquarters. "It does not burn fat directly, but it can help improve exercise persistence by increasing the efficiency of energy production during exercise."
Also, pig fat contains a lot of vitamin D. Vitamin D is an ingredient necessary for bone and tooth formation and strengthening immunity. In particular, studies show that people with a lot of vitamin D in the blood increase 'diet efficiency'.
A research team at the University of Minnesota in the United States encouraged overweight men and women to eat less calories every day for 11 weeks. At this time, the participants' blood vitamin D concentration before and after diet was investigated. As a result, the more vitamin D people had, the greater the weight loss effect and was tapped in abdominal fat reduction.
◇There is no 'multi-line' in diet..."Limited how superfoods score"
Pig fat, is it okay for dieters to eat. CEO Kim emphasizes that no matter how good food is, there is no 'multi-benefit' diet.
"Pig fat consists of 55% unsaturated fatty acids and 40% saturated fatty acids," Kim said. "It is more unsaturated than bovine fat, but there are also a lot of saturated fatty acids, so dieters and obese people should consume the appropriate amount."," he said. According to experts, the appropriate amount of pork consumed per day by adults is within 100-150g.
It is pointed out that there are some limitations to the scoring method when pig fat ranked high as 'super food'.
He added: `The study carried out by BBC Future, which was responsible for the study, gave additional points only to good nutritional content"There is also a contradictory result that pig fat, an animal fat that needs to be restricted in weight management (it does not give a deduction for bad nutrients), ranked higher. "
◇ This function in pig fat?…"Stem cell quality changes"
There is another health effect that can be obtained from pig fat. It is also deeply related to stem cells, which have recently become an issue. This is because 'oleic acid', which is abundant in pig fat, can have a positive effect on stem cells. Unsaturated fatty acids containing oleic acid are reported to create a low-inflammatory environment and enhance cell regeneration ability.
In fact, human fat can extract about 500 times more stem cells than bone marrow and 25,000 times more than peripheral blood. As a result, autologous fat is widely used as a way to extract stem cells. Stem cells extracted from fat extracted through liposuction from thighs, abdomen, and forearms are injected into the skin. It acts on aging skin to improve elasticity and whitening effect.
Eating pig fat before stem cell procedures can help improve the quality of stem cells. Kim Jin-ok, director of the Monitsel Fat Stem Cell Research Institute, explained that "Stem cell quality is known to vary depending on the ratio of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids even in fat stem cell research.".
However, excessive consumption of pig fat should be warned. Director Kim said, "Unsaturated fatty acids in pig oil can help collect healthy fat stem cells during procedures"However, "The saturated fatty acid content is also not small, which can increase cardiovascular risk by increasing LDL cholesterol when consumed excessively.'
