For years, people have been living by the notion that by eating
a low fat diet, he or she will lose weight.
Many of these people
don`t realize what fat really is and why it is essential for the
human body. There are also fats you should avoid eating because
they can be dangerous to your body and can make you gain fat if you
eat to many of them. You are also going to learn about the benefits
of a diet that consists of an adequate supply of healthy fats.
First of all, you need to become educated on the bad fats that
are in the foods you eat.
These bad fats come in a variety of foods
under the names "saturated fat" and "trans fat". Saturated fats are
solid at room temperature and they increase the amount of bad
cholesterol in your blood. Hydrogenated fats, also known as trans
fats, also elevate cholesterol, increasing the risk of a heart
attack.
Omega 6 and Omega 3`s are the main sources of the good fats you
should consume.
If you prefer getting your proper nutrients through
your diet, then these EFA`s can be naturally found in salmon, tuna,
walnuts, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and most cooking oils. On the
other hand, if you prefer getting your healthy fats through use of
supplentation, then you should invest in a cheap fish or flax seed
oil supplement.
Many EFA`s have been scientifically proven to treat and prevent
many health problems such as cardiovascular disease, psoriasis,
eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetic neuropathy. Good fats
also have a positive effect on your body.
You will benefit from and
increased metabolism, improved insulin action, improved
testosterone production, improved energy production of cells, and
protective liver functions.
The average adult allows around 98,000 calories from fat to be
stored in the body. These calories allow for cushioning,
insulation, and organ protection. So don`t be afraid when it comes
to adding fat to your diet.
Your body simply cannot function
without it and should always be taken into consideration when
you`re shopping at the local supplement store. Until next time,
later.
