Here are 10 reasons to go back to eating butter quietly:
1. Butter is the source of vitamin A best absorbed by our body, vitamin that supports thyroid functions, adrenal glands and therefore cardiovascular system.
2. Butter does not fatty since it contains short-chain and medium chain fatty acids, which are not stored but burnt by our body to get ready-made energy. In addition, butter suffers rapidly, does not depend on it, and does not create hyperphagia, as do carbohydrates and sugary foods in general. It is certain that those who feed mainly on proteins and fat (of course, fruits and vegetables) eat less globally, are not likely to become fatigued or have diabetes.
3. It is rich in antioxidants, including Vitamins A and E, as well as selenium, all of which are key factors in preventing cardiovascular and tumor illnesses.
4. It is a good source of cholesterol that has, incredible but true, antioxidant properties: it repairs the damage from free radicals, also caused by polyunsaturated, hydrogenated vegetable oils and rancid fats.
5. Saturated fats are formed from medium to short chain fatty acids that possess anti-tumor properties and enhance immune defenses.
6. Contains Conjugated Linoleic Acid, which has anti-tumor properties and helps to lose weight.
7. When not pasteurized, it contains the Wulzen Factor (stimasterol) I best called a stiffness factor, whose property is to protect joints and arteries from stiffening. It also has a preventative action of cataracts
8. It is also a good source of iodine, in a highly absorbable form. (However, the content of iodine depends largely on the soil on which the cows graze or if there is an integration with sea salt).
9. Butter is very important for intestinal health and reduces the incidence of gastroenteritis in children. Especially that of goat, it contains butyrate, a short chain saturated fatty acid of which the colon cells are pleasing. Butter is the main source of butyrate, it can contain up to 4%. This fatty acid has the following documented functions: suppressing intestinal inflammatory processes, antistress, reducing intestinal permeability and improving insulin sensitivity. Butric acid is also produced by the intestinal flora by the fermentation of vegetable fibers. However, intestinal flora is not always in balance in modern man, and while restoring with proper diet and care, the consumption of a good butter provides butyrric acid immediately used by colon cells.
10. It is a good source of Vitamin K2, important for the health of teeth and bones.
It is clear that we are not talking about anemic white butter, which is more white than commercial and industrial, derived from animals kept in the warehouses and exploited in a shameful way, but butter, obtained from cream, of biological origin Or coming from animals mostly kept pasture and not treated with drugs.
