Is ham good for you?

Whether you like ham on sandwiches or eat it with charcuterie boards, there is something for every palate. Growing up eating ham sandwiches means I have a certain affinity towards a good one with English mustard, but are they healthy for us? Let's take a look at some traditional ham. Ham is a versatile meat that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether it's piled high on a sandwich or served alongside other cured meats on a charcuterie board, there is something for everyone to enjoy. While I have fond memories of eating ham sandwiches with English mustard and the crusts cut off the bread. Er Yum. I often wonder about the health implications of consuming this cured meat. Traditional ham is typically high in sodium and saturated fat, which can be harmful to our health if consumed in excess. It's important to enjoy ham in moderation and opt for leaner cuts when possible to ensure we are making healthier choices for our bodies. Take a look at our nutrient content per 100g.
