INTERPORC: Pork products provide the nutrients that the human body needs

In this event, several chefs have prepared healthy recipes, some with pork as the main ingredient, which were not only delicious, but products that respond to the advice of nutritionists and food experts, who recommend the consumption of lean meats in a proportion of between 3 and 4 servings per week, of 100 to 125 grams each serving.

Pork includes proteins, all essential amino acids, minerals such as iron and zinc and group B vitamins, which allow the proper functioning of the nervous and immune systems.

Specifically, vitamin B12, which is essential for the development of red blood cells and the brain, is very present in meat products and, although it is attempted to be supplied chemically, scientific reality shows that these supplements only partially cover its deficiency resulting from not eating meat.

Furthermore, the nutritional properties of pork meat and processed products make them especially suitable foods for certain population groups, such as children, women, athletes or the elderly.

Pork is part of the Mediterranean diet, considered by experts to be one of the most balanced in the world and the diet that has kept humans healthy for millennia.
