Meat And Poultry
Chicken:
Chicken is high in protein, low in fat and low in cholesterol, making it a good selection for a healthy diet. A three-ounce portion of chicken provides our daily requirement for protein.
Chicken is lower in fat than most other meats and over half of the fat is unsaturated fat, the type that helps lower cholesterol.
The white meat is lower in fat than the dark meat of the chicken but the dark meat is higher in iron, an important nutrient for a healthy body.
Parma Ham:
From a nutritional point of view Parma Ham is an easily digestible food and better for our digestive process than other meats.
Parma Ham is rich in free amino acids, more than 12% of the total protein content; in particular, 100 gr. of lean Parma Ham (without external visible fat) contains valine (198,5 mg), leucine (268,7 mg) and isoleucine (175,0 mg).
That's why Parma Ham is ideal for athletes and anyone who uses up a lot of energy.
