…Eating too many foods rich in saturated fats for a medium/long period increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. WHY? Saturated fats, if present in large quantities in our body, can be deposited on the internal walls of the arteries, which are the “vessels” in which blood flows. If these vessels become clogged, the blood flows more slowly and may stop flowing altogether because the deposit on the walls obstructs the passage. This can cause heart attacks or strokes. This condition occurs over time and needs to be monitored before it brings serious health consequences. DID YOU KNOW THAT… White meat must be stored, both at the point of sale and at home, in a fridge at a temperature between 0 and 4°C. Keeping the “cold chain” constant is essential in guaranteeing a safe product! White meat must be cooked before eating. Cooking eliminates all the microorganisms (bacteria and viruses) and makes the product safe. Combining white meats with complex carbohydrate-rich foods such as bread, pasta, rice or my friend, Patatax, and vegetables or mushrooms, like my team mates Green Tuga and General Champ, is an excellent way of creating a complete and balanced dish!
