It's proven that ham is a low-calorie, nutritious food, ideal for weight-loss diets. And it's not just us saying this; after all, we're big fans of this product. According to studies conducted by Professor José E. Campillo of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Extremadura, eating 120 grams of ham daily "significantly reduces cholesterol and triglycerides" thanks to its low saturated fat content, high monounsaturated fatty acid content, and lower cholesterol levels than lean meats like chicken or turkey, or some fish like hake or cod.
Furthermore, we remind you that not long ago, a few months ago, the diet developed by specialist Rubén Bravo , a naturopath specializing in Nutrition at the European Medical Institute of Obesity , based on Iberian ham and red wine, was made public.
Each 100 grams of Iberian ham provides about 375 calories, which is approximately 4 slices, although if you prefer, you can remove some of the visible fat from the edges.
Don't doubt it, Iberian ham is a completely healthy food, it protects the heart and circulatory system, helps to reduce cholesterol and provides abundant vitamins, especially vitamins E, B1, B6, B12 and folic acid.
It is also a good antioxidant, rich in protein, and contains monounsaturated fatty acids and oleic acid. Iberian ham is a source of minerals that are extremely important for healthy bones and cartilage.
