Fat facts, for optimum health

HOW YOU CAN USE FATS AND OILS FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH

High-quality fats and oils are one of the most essential foods to consume every day. They are needed for your brain and nervous system, for energy production and for making most of the body�s vital hormones.
Fat for fitness
Fats and oils are composed of chains of molecules called fatty acids that are composed mainly of carbon atoms. They are high energy foods, providing about 9 calories per gram of fat. This is more than twice the energy content of sugars and starches. 

Because of this reason some of the nutritionists and diet planners think that fats will make you fat. However, it is not so when one knows how and when to choose them properly. The idea of avoiding all high-quality fats because they may make you fat, or that quality fats clog your arteries, is nonsense, one of the worst nutritional errors of our time.

In fact, children, in particular, absolutely require plenty of fats and oils, particularly EPA and DHA. These are two omega-3 essential fatty acids needed for development of the nervous system. Quality fats and oils are also essential for transporting all vitamins, minerals and hormones in your the body cells.

Also the right amount and types of high-quality fats and oils will not drive up your insulin level or will not create insulin resistance to make you fat, as do sugar and carbohydrates. 

Fats, also do not rob your body of minerals, as does eating sugars and many starches, Instead, fats and oils make our food taste good.

Some basic recommendations.

1. Fats should be eaten in the raw state whenever possible, or not overcooked. Most are quite damaged when cooked too long, and especially when overcooked, such as with deep frying, hard-boiling eggs, pasteurizing dairy products, cooking cheese and frying foods.

2. The best fats are generally those derived from animal sources. These are the most yang, they contain the most essential omega-3 fatty acids in almost all cases, and include:

� Meats (tallow, chicken fat, goose fat, duck fat, or others).

� Raw dairy products (butter, cream, whole milk or full-fat cheese or yogurts).

� Sardines (some others such as salmon, tuna and others have some quality fats, but are too high in mercury to be healthful foods).

3. The next best, for general use, are olive oil, and perhaps a little raw and only very fresh flax seed and hemp seed oil. The problem with these is they are often not quite as good as the fish oils for omega-3 fatty acids, and they go rancid very quickly. They should be in capsules or pearls, ideally, to maintain freshness.

4. Vegetable oils - those derived from grains, beans and seeds - are not as good today, for many reasons. They are usually quite refined, heated, and extracted with toxic chemicals. Even the cold-pressed oils are not that good. In addition, they rarely contain any omega-3 fatty acids, while containing too many omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids. They include:

� Grain oils: (corn oil)

� Legume oils: (peanut oil, or others). Soy oil is almost always a chemically-extracted product and not very healthful, though it is a good source of vitamin E, along with wheat germ oil and rice bran oil.

� Seed oils: (sesame, sunflower, flax, hemp, chia, borage, black current, primrose, canola, and others). These are also usually refined and chemically extracted, but they are nutritious. Hemp and flax oils are high in omega-3 fatty acids as well.

5. Oils from fruits and nuts like almond, coconut, palm, macadamia, hazelnut and perhaps others are not recommended for regular use, although a little now and then is fine. 

Coconut oil, along with coconut milk and coconut water, is highly praised today due to its high content of lauric acid, a natural infection fighter. It also contains MCT or medium chain triglygcerides. These appear to assist energy production in some diseases such as Alzheimer�s disease, and can help one gain weight easily if one is malnourished.

What are fats?

Fat is a nutrient with important functions. It�s a rich source of energy. In fact, fats produce more than double the energy acquired from carbohydrates or proteins. It�s a carrier for vitamins A, D, E and K. It provides linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid, essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. It contributes flavor and a sense of �fullness� when part of eating healthy diet

However, it�s important to know that there are good fat foods and bad fat food.



What are good fat foods to eat?


As part of eating a healthy diet, you need to consume moderate amounts of good fats. These good fats include:

Monounsaturated fat � This is the primary fat source found in olive oil. Unsaturated fat, can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. In fact, due to its high concentration of monounsaturated fat, olive oil can actually help to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. This is the main reason why olive oil is considered to be healthy for us.

Polyunsaturated fat � Found in nuts, fish, sunflower oil, corn oil, and of course olive oil, polyunsaturated fat helps to maintain heart health and lower blood cholesterol levels.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fat � Found in fatty fishes like salmon or in vegetable oils, omega-3 polyunsaturated fat is truly brain food. It has been proven to promote mental acuity and brain development.


What are bad fat food to eat?
 
If you�re committed to eating a healthy diet, you should try to avoid the following fats:

Saturated fats � Found in lard, butter, hard cheeses, whole milk, animal fats, palm oil, and coconut oils, saturated fats are known to raise blood cholesterol levels, increase the risk of heart disease, and contribute to other health problems. Nutritionists and dietitians strongly recommend that you avoid these fats as much as possible.

Trans fat � Typically found in meat, dairy products, margarine, and nearly any food containing the word �hydrogenated� on its label, trans fats can raise your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels


Fat and Olive Oil
Olive oil is widely known to be high in monounsaturated (good) fat. It contains zero trans (bad) fats and is lower in saturated (bad) fat than other commonly used ingredients such as shortening and butter. Simply put, olive oil is one of the best ways to add good fat to your diet and avoid bad fat.
 
 


Olive Oil Contains More Nutrients Than Canola Oil

All in all, olive oil is considered the healthier oil because of the nutrients it contains. Extra virgin olive oil contains antioxidants, polyphenols and omega-3 fatty acids with can promote cardiovascular health and cognitive function as well as boosting your immune system and protecting you from many types of cancer. Olive oil can even help prevent or reverse type 2 diabetes, since it helps your body produce adiponectin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Olive oil even has anti-inflammatory properties, and can be of immense benefit to those with inflammatory diseases like arthritis and osteoporosis.

Canola Oil is Good for Your Heart

While canola oil doesn't contain the many beneficial nutrients found in olive oil, it is good for your heart. Canola oil is generally low in saturated fats (read the label to make sure), and high in the omega-3 fatty acids and other monounsaturated fats that help to promote healthy cardiovascular function.

When to Choose Canola Oil Over Olive Oil

While olive oil is considered the healthier oil, it's sometimes appropriate to choose canola oil instead. Extra virgin and virgin olive oils retain much of the flavor of the olives from which they're pressed, so while they might make a tasty dip or dressing, they often aren't appropriate for cooking or baking. Since most types of olive oils are more expensive than canola oil, you might want to consider reserving olive oil for toppings and using canola oil for cooking and baking.
