Over time, the Nutrient fat, has developed a bad reputation and we always hear that we should lower our fat intake. Although this is true, we should not eliminate it from our diet altogether because our bodies can’t live with out it.
Fats are essential for good health, they aid in energy production, cell building, oxygen transport, blood clotting and brain development. Fat serves as the storage for the body’s extra calories, insulation for the body, good energy source, maintains healthy hair and skin and it helps the body absorb and move certain vitamins through the blood stream.
Fats can be saturated, unsaturated (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated), trans fatty acids, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats. Saturated fats are the biggest cause of high LDL levels or bad cholesterol. They are found in animal products such as butter, cheese, whole milk and fatty meats. They are also found in vegetable oils, coconut and palm oils.
Unsaturated fats help to lower blood cholesterol if used in place of saturated fats. They do have a lot of calories so you still need to limit them. Most liquid vegetable oils are unsaturated. Monounsaturated fats are found in olive and canola oils and polyunsaturated fats are found in fish, sunflower, corn and soybean oils.
I will outline the other types of fats and where they come from in another article. Although fat is important to our daily diet, the levels of fat intake should be monitored. As always, consult your Doctor or a Nutritionist for exact measurements and figures on what your specific intake should be.
Until next week, I wish you good Spirtitual and Physical health
