All In All health TIP: How good are the Good fats for our health? - One of the most detrimental things that have come out of the last 20-30 years of dietary marketing has been the low-fat diet. Making the assumption that fat makes us fat is far too simplistic of a view point. More things such as sugar, stress, lack of sleep will cause our bodies to store fat far faster than a high fat diet. Obviously, we must decipher good fat from bad fat and when we do we will see that a diet high in good fats will actually burn away the bad fat that our bodies have stored and reduce harmful inflammation in our system. In addition to helping our bodies lean out, increasing our quality fat intake will boost our immune systems, metabolism, brain function and cardiovascular health. When we talk about quality fat we are really talking about EFA’s, essential fatty acids. They are essential because our bodies can’t produce them. Therefore we need to find these EFA’s in our food. They are critical! The main essential fatty acid that we need is Omega 3 which is made of EPA and DHA. Without these two critical ingredients, our cells simply cannot communicate properly. In fact, 60% of our brain is composed of DHA from Omega 3 fat. If you don’t get the proper amounts, our brain just will not work properly. Lack of these nutrients will lead to brain fog, memory loss, depression, ADD and other mental disorders. If you are interested to find out more on this topic, just watch out for tomorrows Health TIP.
