Long life
... The healthy lifestyle which an exceptional ún1co ham offers us
Iberico ham is one of the greatest treasures of Spanish gastronomy, a delicacy that nourishes the body and soul. In addition, its high levels of oleic acid make it one of the healthiest foods in the Mediterranean diet.
The consumption of Iberico ham has an antioxidant effect due to the high percentage of monounsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid, and other components of ham such as vitamin E and carnitine, rich in bellota.
The high content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids reduces the levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) -known as bad cholesterol- and increases the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, popularly known as good cholesterol.
They reduce triglyceride levels. High triglycerides can contribute to hardening of the arteries or thickening of the artery walls (atherosclerosis), which increases the risk of stroke, heart attack and heart disease.
Oleic acid accounts for more than 50% of total fatty acids.
It is a monounsaturated fatty acid of the omega 9 family with multiple healthy properties.
Low caloric intake.
High protein content. Contains all the essential amino acids that we cannot synthesize and that our organism needs.
High contribution of monounsaturated fatty acids.
It is necessary to take into account the mineral content, highlighting the iron, which is characterized by its easy absorption compared to vegetable iron, which is more difficult to assimilate. Zinc, potassium, calcium and phosphorus are other minerals found in ham.
We must not forget the contribution of vitamins, especially of the B group, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6) and niacin (B3).
