    the aging process will slow down;

Who shouldn’t eat butter?

Nutritionist Olena Stepanova said that eating butter in the presence of inflammatory processes can negatively affect the general condition of the body. According to her, the product is also recommended to be avoided in case of allergies, lactose intolerance, and autoimmune diseases.

Due to its high cholesterol content, butter should be excluded for people suffering from cardiovascular disease. People without these diseases will only benefit from butter in moderation.

The permissible portion of butter for an adult is 20-30 grams per day, and for a child – up to ten grams. “It is important to buy high-quality butter with a fat content of 82.5% without flavorings. It should have a uniform color,” Stepanova advised.
