Popular Australian nutritionist Louise Cavanaugh talked about foods that many people try to avoid, being completely sure of their harm, but they, on the contrary, are good for health.

There are foods that are considered fat and high in calories, which is why they are successfully ignored by many people. However, not everything is so bad.

Duck fat

Contrary to popular belief, duck fat is actually high in monounsaturated fatty acids, making it a very healthy product. Duck fat also does not require long heat treatment, which makes it an ideal addition to fried potatoes.

Pork lard

 

Lard is a product with a high content of vitamin D, as well as a source of useful cholesterol. Use it instead of olive oil for roasting vegetables.

Jelly

 

Gelatin contains useful amino acids glycine and proline, which are indispensable for the health of the skin, hair and nails.

It is made from collagen obtained from the connective tissue and bones of cows. That is why gelatin keeps the skin elastic and has an anti-aging effect. In addition, gelatin improves digestion, accelerates wound healing and eliminates food intolerance.

Potato

 

Potatoes contain more potassium than bananas and help you lose weight because they keep you feeling full for much longer.

Chocolate

 

Raw cocoa beans are rich in antioxidants and help lower blood pressure. In addition, chocolate contains a large amount of magnesium, proteins and fiber. Chocolate also improves blood circulation, contributes to the good functioning of the cardiovascular system, improves digestion and lifts the mood.
