Facts about fat

Since March 1990, health authorities in the United States has suggested that all Americans over the age of two years should
reduce your daily intake of saturated fat below 10% of total calories and total fat intake
below 30% of daily calories. These suggestions have been introduced in the 1960s and were the hours of
fair representation of the evidence that saturated fats and excess of foods high in total fat can be
cause of cardiovascular disease and some cancers.

Nutrition Science made great strides since the recommendations of its way through of laborious
Committees of the U.S. health officials heavy. Advice 1960s is now obsolete.
Now we know that if you follow the advice of the government current consumption of the fats you will most likely
YOUR body damage beyond repair. That's getting heavy, but as you will see the new evidence
not discussed.

Fat is the main fuel for your body and some people still think you have to eat much of it in order to maintain
level high energy. They were wrong. Slim A man of 85 kg to only 10% body fat leads to a 7%
fat reserves of fuel. The weight of 5500 grams of the 49,500 store fat has 9 calories per calorie
grams, which is enough to last a hundred miles.

Contrary to its store fat, the other main source of fuel, 450 grams of glycogen, only has 1800
calories, 4 calories per gram. The limit of energy Glycogen is always because muscle
can not function properly without a minimum level of glycogen.

So even a very thin never cut the fat. You need to eat very little, to maintain a
store enough fat. This represents between 10% and 15% of calories per day should be sufficient.
If your body does not need more, you can easily convert proteins and carbohydrates into fat.

Body fat is much more easy by the consumption of fat by eating other foods. Advice to current government
it's okay to eat 30% of daily calories into fat you eat in large quantities. The result is a duck
before us. Four in ten adult Americans are overweight and it's getting worse every decade.

Overwhelming evidence shows that overweight, even moderate is a direct cause of many diseases
and the risk of disability and death is increasing in almost all disease.
Obviously that our health authorities to date advice on the consumption of fat is making you sick.

All fats consist fat fat, composed of one part fat and one part acid. Its chemical composition
consists of a carbon chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
The length of the carbon chain depends on the type of fat. Short-chain fatty-acid and butyric
in butter with four carbon atoms. Fish oils and long chain fats that comprise most of our brain
has 20 A 24 carbon atoms.

Besides using body fat for fuel, it takes many special fats that operate under the
cell membranes around each cell and which parts of your brain, inner ears, eyes, glands adrenal
and sexual organs.

Our body can not make these special fats only if you get the best ingredients in our food, which are
two essential fatty acids that our body can not manufacture: the linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid. Both of which are
of Long-chain (18 carbons). For optimal health, these fats must be supplied by our diet.
The organism can be transformed into another type of fat you need.

Unfortunately, the essential fatty acids are rare in the average diet. The best source and inoleic
alpha-linolenic acid, flax or linseed oil. Other sources are pumpkin seeds, nuts, soy
and canola oil. Leaves of green leafy vegetables also contain small amounts.
Good, but expensive sources of oil used in oil supplements are black currant seed, borage oil,
Evening primrose oil and fish oil.

The fat content common seed oils is shown in the table. This table applies cold
crude oils that have not been hydrogenated. As you can see, even the best oils are
converted into margarine and cooking oils, lose their healthy attributes.

Saturated and unsaturated.

Saturated fats have all their atoms carbon "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. Not blank
hydrogen sites to link to other molucules hydrogen in your body.
As a result, can be used by the body for energy. Unsaturated fats have holes
where the hydrogen atoms are missing. These spaces are special keys that can hold locks on
other molecules in your body.

Health authorities would have you believe that fats saturated mainly from meat and increase the
cholesterol and unsaturated vegetable oils are cholesterol and maintain down.They are wrong!

It is true that meat, cheese, eggs and milk are rich in saturated fats, but are palm oil, palm kernel oil
and particularly coconut oil. Many foods are loaded with saturated fat. They raise cholesterol and
low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and damage your health as much as greasiest Fatback bacon.

Furthermore, contrary to public health recommendations, recent data show that not all saturated
fats are bad. The carefully controlled studies far indicate that medium chain triglycerides (MCT)
saturated fats are coconut oil extract, do not raise cholesterol.
No more than stearic acid from saturated fat.

Compounding the things we now know that a lot of polyunsaturated fats called Approved
by our health authorities, raising the cholesterol on the moon, because of what the food processing
done for them. Remember the good oils in the table above are healthy if they are
unprocessed. Check out what happens on the field trip at your table.

Cis, trans fat compared.
Almost all natural fats in the configuration called excists cis. This means that the hydrogen atoms
coals are all on the same side of the molecule. Due to its electric charge, light,
hydrogen atoms repel each other and elbows in the carbon chain, as a series of
overlapping horseshoes. These curves are the essential form of the molecule, the key
that conforms to specific blocks in your body allowing the special features of their biological
the body must take place.

This configuration is essential cis destroyed by modern treatment methods, such as heating,
hydrogenation, bleaching and deodorizing. These procedures apply to nearly all
mass-produced oils and fats. Geometry is changed in a healthy healthy
trans configuration. Chemically, hydrogen atoms are oriented so that they are in
opposite sides of the fat molecule. The molecule straightens and then loses its way key
that links with the cells to carry out biological functions of fat.

Your body is very adaptable. Although trans fats no longer fit the locks, which is trying to
and is used for basic functions of fat. In cell membranes, for example, trans fats cause
filtration membranes, which alters the metabolism of cells and toxic substances that can
to enter the cell. We now know that trans fats incorporated in the membranes of cells involved
cell functions abnormal are two cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

Recent studies published in The New England Journal of Medicine Show also direct health
effects. Young, healthy men show high levels of cholesterol and low high-density
lipoprotein (LDL), if placed on a diet high in trans fat-only three weeks.
These elevations in cholesterol and LDL are also higher than those achieved by feeding the subject
a diet high in saturated fat and oil palm kernel.

The identification of trans fats
All oils contain trans fats processes. The stronger oil, the greater the level of trans fat.
Liquid vegetable oils containing up to 6% of trans fat margarines and butter up 58%.
You can identify trans fat in foods others when searching the words "hydrogenated" or
partially hydrogenated in the ingredient list. You will find these words in many Lebel
breads, cakes, bakery products, chocolate, frozen dinners and processed meat products.
To the best of health, not eating.

All Europe had orders arrest of trans fats in recent years.
Many foods now been specifically European labels that are free cis fat
Healthy gender, including margarine. Buy and use only the best oils. In particular, buying and using
organic flax oil, will go a long way to protect your health.

Smart Fats.
There are other important health reasons for using organic flax oil, as part of its
nutrition. To understand, one must know a bit about what your body does with
two essential fatty acids: linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid. On the way I I will show why
of the two fish oils, eicosapentanic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are so powerful
protection against disease. It is essential to know these essential fats if you want to protect
their health.

The figure below shows the sequence of special fats that the body essential dietary
fat. As you can see lnoleic acid foods is the beginning of the sequence of omega-6.
Like all fats in biochemistry, which has some descriptive cis 18:2 omega-6.
It sounds complicated but is actually very simple. The number is to describe a series of
bumps and hollows, such as the car key.

First note that fat is the cis form. Biochemists know that only the works of cis form in humans
body. The first digit in this case 18 years represent the number of carbon atoms that form the length
chain. The second figure, in this case 2 represent the number of gaps in the chain,
ie, spaces for hydrogen atoms. These spaces, creating some of the key that corresponds to the
locks for specialized functions body fat. The third figure in this case 6 refers to the
the number of the carbon chain, where empty space occurs first. This posture creates
the other key.

The following diagram shows how the body uses and transforms the two essential fatty acids.

OMEGA-3 ————–> conversion ——————-> ———————->
Delta-5-Dietary eicosapentaenoic docosahexaenoic

Omega-6 conversion ————–> ————-> —————-> ————-.>.
The diet-Gamma Delta-6 arachidonic Dihomogamma

Alpha-linolenic acid in the diet is 18:3 omega-3, the beginning of the sequence of omega-3 fatty acids
fat. Look to the right of this sequence and see that it becomes alpha-linolenic acid
the first body to EPA and DHA. DHA is essential health care because most of your brain
done. The lack of DHA, inevitably, brain degeneration and is now estimated
by investigators as a factor in the U.S. current outbreak.

EPA and DHA are the two acids omega-3 fatty fish, fatty fish like salmon especally,
mackerel and sardine. If you eat these fish, you will receive your preformed DHA, with due respect
a body of work hard to do. Now you know there's some truth to the idea that fish is
brain food.

OMEGA-3 against cancer.
Omega-3 fatty acids produce essential chemical messengers in the body called prostaglandins.
Studies have shown that some of these prostaglandins can kill breast, lung and prostate
Dead cancer cells. From this evidence, the Assembly Journal National Cancer Institute
stated that omega-3 have a "potential clinical utility in cancer treatment.

This testimony is essential to your health, as studies show that omega-6, although
are essential for certain functions, they also produce inflammatory prostaglandins that promote
cancer growth. Omega-3 to maintain this effect cancer of omega-6 under control.
Optimum resistance to cancer, you should keep your intake of omega-3, ruling
more omega-6.

Unfortunately, the American diet is very low alpha linolenic acid (omega-3), but high
Linoleic acid (omega-6). Most vegetable oils have little or no omega-3 and many
Omega-6. The only common oil that contains a healthy balance of organic flax seeds.
It is therefore important for good health.

The benefits of omega-3 does not end with cancer. The evidence is impressive that a high
intake of omega-3 fatty acids (one tablespoon organic flaxseed oil per day) goes a long way
inhibit cardiovascular disease, diabetes theumatoid Adults and arthritis.
They include fatty acids omega-3s in your diet every day!
