The fats have bad reputation. Nevertheless our body needs certain quantity of them to
redeem important functions. Not all die fats are die same.

For this reason it
is important to pay attention to the type of fat that we consume. The contemporary diet tends to be too raised in certain types of fat and very scarce in other
types. This absence of balance can cause health problems.
Not
saturated and saturated fats
Some fats
come from animal sources and others from vegetable sources. The vegetable fat
sources and those that come from die fish are generally die best for our
health. The fats split into the saturated ones and not saturated ones or the
unsaturated ones. Not saturated fats are liquid to ambience temperature whereas
the saturated fats are solid. Almost all the saturated fats come from animal sources
and our body turns them with facility into cholesterol.
As for not
saturated fats, there exist two types: the monounsaturated and the polyunsaturated.
The monounsaturated fat counts with high quantities of olive oil, canola oil
and peanut oil. The polyunsaturated count with high quantities of corn oil,
sunflower oil, and saffron oil and soybean oil.
Another
example of polyunsaturated fat is die acquaintances as omega 3 presents in die
fish, principally the fish coming from cold waters as die salmon, me sardine
and die mackerel. The Non saturated fats tend to reduce the cholesterol levels
in die blood when they are used instead of the saturated ones although die
effect of the polyunsaturated fats its a little bigger. Now well, the
polyunsaturated fats oxidize with facility to die heat contact for what the
oils as those of corn and others as we already said that contain diem in high
quantities arc not suitable for cooking.
That's why
olive of canola oils is preferable. Animal fats are harmful to our arteries and
they can be Cancer causers. Red meats have been associated with colon cancer.
This type of fat is especially harmful when it's fried. The saturated fats
present in butter, milk, and meat helps to obstruct our arteries.
Between the
poly-saturated fats, die called omega 3 has been getting a lot of attention due
to its apparent benefits to health. Several studies have related the consumption
of omega 3 to a reduction in the risk of cardiac illnesses. It was found in a
study that a daily gram of omega 3 reduced in 25 per cent the risk of dead caused
by cardiac problems in persons who had previously suffered a heart attack. A
daily portion of sardines, mackerel or salmon obtains this quantity of omega 3. A note about eggs and the
fat - many persons are afraid to consume eggs since they contain great amount
of cholesterol.
Nevertheless,
investigators of Harvard university have thought diet in healthy persons to
consume up to one daily egg does not increases the risk of heart illnesses.
Although the
eggs contain a high quantity of cholesterol they also contain nutrients as
folic acid, vitamin B12, riboflavin and vitamin D diet can help to prevent
cardiac illnesses.
