The dreaded and awful fat (formally
called lipids) ...
Unfortunately we have been misinformed about the power of
this nutrient in our lives. It is a fact
that we suffer more illnesses because of sugar than fat.
Did you know that they are essential
for the proper functioning of the brain, hormone production and energy
reserves? Many vitamins are dissolved in fat, thus by eliminating them
completely you will also miss antioxidants and immune protection.
Be careful of foods that say
"fat free" because in most cases the fat is replaced with corn
starch, fructose or sugar cane, making the food even more damaging.
Nutritional fact labels describe
several types of fat: total, saturated, trans and cholesterol.
In order to find
the healthiest option, choose food with less than 20g of fat and less than 20mg
cholesterol per serving.
See you next week!
