Do all fat is bad? Deficiencies in mono and polyunsaturated essential related to heart disease risk
Although we have learned to resist foods containing a trace of fat, a groundbreaking study at New York University suggests that the presence or absence of fat in the diet has virtually no impact on rates of cancer, heart attacks and strokes. This landmark study lasted 8 years, involved 49,000 women, and costs the federal government $ 415 million dollars. The women were divided into two groups, one group of "fat consumers" and "low fat consumers." The first group ate as they pleased, while the latter group followed a diet low in fat. Unfortunately for latter group of women who had not benefited from McDonald's Big Mac over the years they have been diagnosed with the same rates breast cancer, colon cancer and heart disease than women who consume fat.
The McDonald's Diet
So does that mean that we should all go to McDonald's for lunch this week? Not exactly. Critics of the study point to one major flaw - the study only tested for how fat women eating, not what type of fat women consume. Critics say one of the possible reasons women do not see improved health has been reduced because they all kinds of fat and in fact, some types of fats are actually healthy for us. mono-and polyunsaturated fats such as fish oil and flaxseed oil, can help reduce our LDL ("bad") cholesterol, a major culprit in heart disease, and improve our overall health. Foods that contain these fats are packed with antioxidants, and these foods help the joints, nerves and bones, as well as promote healthy brain development and function. In addition, fat-soluble vitamins, vitamins A, K, D and E, can not be absorbed by our body, without the presence of fat, so if a person is to cut all the fat from their diet, that person would miss all the sound effects obtained from these vitamins. Regular consumption fast food and other foods high in saturated fat and / or trans fats were associated with a plethora of issues such as weight gain, increase in the index body mass and insulin resistance. The long-term effects include obesity, diabetes and complications associated with these medical conditions. So it is advisable to reduce consumption of foods rich in animal fat, eliminate all fats can cause any more harm than good. Herbal fat (compared to animal-based saturated fats) are not only recommended, they are vital for optimal organ function.
All fats are not equal
There is a misconception that all fats are bad fats. This is simply not true, and exclude all types of fat may be more damaging than enjoy the burger and fries casual. Unsaturated fats, such as essential omega-3 fatty acids have a positive correlation with cardiovascular health, anti cancer effects, transport of oxygen from hemoglobin, and prevention of diseases. Essential Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency may adversely affect the heart, cause arterial spasms, and increase the risk of coronary heart disease. The fats we want to avoid saturated fats and trans fats. Foods with these fats generally contain large amounts of LDL cholesterol and these foods are presented to lead to obesity and heart disease to cancer. Unfortunately, foods that contain these fats are food we all love to enjoy, such as butter, and as we all know, these foods be difficult to cut our food. Thus, instead of rid of all our food delicious - replace items that foods that are both healthy and delicious food such as lawyers and flaxseed.
Who Says Safe can not be tasty?
Eating healthy does not mean sacrificing taste. Instead of cooking with butter, try these foods containing healthy fats oils. Bake cookies with the coconut oil extra virgin and replace those unhealthy salad dressings on your salad fat linseed oil rich for a healthy alternative without compromising the flavor. When completing omega-3 in your diet, choose fresh produce to make the most of your fish and linseed oil. href = "http://www.barleans.com/"> Barlean has a reputation for quality vertical organic oils and oil mixtures.
