Among meats, poultry such as chicken and duck (domestically raised birds) are considered healthy foods. They are evaluated differently compared to pork and beef. What is the reason for this?

 

Poultry that is essential in the DASH diet... What foods help control blood pressure?

 

The DASH (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) diet is a "blood pressure-lowering dietary therapy" also mentioned in the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency's materials. It emphasizes the intake of fruits, vegetables, low-fat (or fat-free) milk and dairy products, whole grains, fish, nuts, as well as poultry such as chicken and duck. The DASH diet helps control blood pressure and reduces the risk of major vascular diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as pancreatic cancer.

Low in saturated fat and high in unsaturated fatty acids... "Remove the skin before eating"

 

Chicken contains less fat compared to beef and pork. Removing the skin and fat significantly reduces calories, making it helpful for dieting. According to the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, it has more protein than beef, with 20.7g per 100g, and 4.8g of fat. It provides 126 kcal of energy and is rich in vitamin B2. The content of unsaturated fatty acids ranges from 67.1% to 68.4%, higher than pork (57.3%) and beef (59.2%). Conversely, saturated fatty acids account for 31.6% to 32.9%, much lower than beef (40.8%) and pork (42.7%). The content of essential fatty acids ranges from 16.6% to 16.9%, which is 1.6 times that of pork and five times that of beef.

 

Lower LDL cholesterol and eliminate heavy metals... Alkaline medicine suitable for the human body

 

Most meats are acidic foods, but duck meat is a mildly alkaline food that suits the human body. Ducks are animals that can survive despite eating highly toxic sulfur, which indicates their incredible detoxification ability. Regular consumption of duck meat helps effectively break down nitrogen in the body, preventing heavy metals and impurities from accumulating and aiding their immediate excretion.

LDL cholesterol is a risk factor for hypertension and myocardial infarction, but duck meat helps in prevention and alleviation. Unlike other meats, it has a high content of unsaturated fatty acids and contains linoleic acid and arachidonic acid, which help reduce cholesterol. Consistently eating duck meat can aid in preventing vascular diseases.

 

Meat: grill or fry? ... "Boil it for health"

 

Although chicken and duck meat are good for the body, the health effects vary depending on the cooking method. They should be boiled before eating. Grilling or frying can produce harmful substances, which may have adverse effects. In particular, duck meat becomes tender when boiled in boiling water. Adding plenty of vegetables to the boiling water eliminates any unpleasant odors. Also, the dish should be prepared without being too salty. This is beneficial for managing blood pressure and cardiovascular health. Nowadays, it seems that people no longer boil meat as they did in the past. One of the reasons for the significant increase in colon cancer and vascular diseases over the past 30 years is related to this change.
