Limit Saturated Fats
Saturate fats are those found in red meats and dairy products like milk, eggs, cheese, and butter.
A telltale sign of saturated fats is that they remain solid at room temperature.
Most researchers believe you should limit the total amount of saturated fat in your diet, and I certainly agree.
Eating saturated fat boosts the overall level of cholesterol, which-as you're aware by now-is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular.
On the other hand, the effect of the saturated fat on your health may also depend on the foods you generally consume with it.
Researcher at Stanford University showed that eating the typical American diet while merely trying to limit saturated fat is not as adding an abundance of fiber-rich vegetarian foods.
In other words, a high-fiber diets some of the negative effects of saturated fat.
I'm not going to ask you to cut out foods with saturated fat, like red meat and cheese, completely.
You just need to cut back on how much of this fat you eat.
If you want to have your cheddar cheese and a juicy steak, limit your portions according to guidelines given, and make sure you eat plenty of fiber-rich vegetables at the same time or take a fiber supplement along with your meal.
Enjoy Good Fats Unsaturated fats are the good fats-fats that you should make sure to include in your diet every day.
There are two kinds of unsaturated fats: polyunsaturated and monounsaturated.
Polyunsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature, and their use lowers the total amount of cholesterol (both LDL and HDL).
The best sources of polyunsaturated fats are flax oil, pumpkin seeds, oily fish, walnuts, and hemp oil.
These oils also contain omega-3fatty acids.
Other sources of polyunsaturated fats include soy, corn oil, safflower oil, and sunflower seeds.
Consuming foods with polyunsaturated fats, especially oily fish, has been shown to lower inflammation and actually benefit people with disorders related to inflammation.
Remember: although inflammation is a survival mechanism our bodies use to prevent infection from foreign invaders like bad bacteria, viruses, and toxins, it tends to spin out control in the context of our modern lifestyles.
A poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle, for example, can chronic inflammation in the deepest corners of our bodies where we don't detect the inflammation until it's diagnosed later on as heart disease, dementia, diabetes, obesity, or one of any number of degenerative problems that can derive from inflammation.
Chronic inflammation can displace the natural state of our immune system and create and imbalance in our bodies that in turn can lead to a variety of health problems.
Science is just beginning to tell us how dangerous inflammation can be when it goes unchecked.
Anything that can help us lower our levels of inflammation and perhaps prevent further inflammation in the future is a good thing.
Monounsaturated fats, like polyunsaturated fats, are liquid at room temperature.
They are excellent for cooking because they can withstand heat, whereas some polyunsaturated oils (like flaxseed oil) are heat-sensitive.
The best sources of monounsaturated fats are olive oil, canola oil, and peanut oil.
Olive oil is your best choice for all around use.
Monounsaturated fats lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good cholesterol (HDL), reducing the risk of heart disease.
They can also can lower the risk of diabetes and other chronic illness.
Minimizing intake of your saturated fat (from meat) and eating more monounsaturated oil (like fish and flax oils) lower the risk factors of chronic illness, helps you maintain a healthy weight, and provide a more balanced intake of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Fish oil-composed of polyunsaturated fats known as omega-3 -has long been recognized as one of the most important sources of healthy fats.
In fact, a large study found that people with heart disease who took a gram of fish oil in a supplement daily for several years decreased their risk of a fatal heart attack by 25 percent.
