1. Saturated Fats: Not All Fats are Identical
Meats at the breakfast, lunch and dinner table have long been considered a sign of success. It was once commonly accepted that the more animal protein one ate, the stronger and braver one became.
Before you take pleasure in that next unctuous rib sandwich, know that research shows that when saturated fat from a variety of meats is consumed and digested, it causes immediate arterial damage. All foods containing sat-fats render us vulnerable to atherosclerosis, or the hardening of the arteries. As well as being part of the human diet, most of us produce enough cholesterol and saturated fats. Many Americans' biochemistry produces more cholesterol than necessary and we should shun the source or take Statins.
2. Grocery Products Loaded With Saturated Fats
Saturated fats are found in commercial baked goods such as cookies, pies, cakes, eclairs, cupcakes, brownies and alluring pastries. Sat-fats come from red meat marbling and the hard fat surrounding the organs of lamb, chicken and pork. You might consider cooking without lard, shortening, poultry fat, butter, cream, milk, cheese and other dairy products. Deep-frying oil contains saturated fat, too. Read the labels.
3. Saturated Fat: Well Established Health Danger
There is a possibility that high cholesterol levels may harm immune function and increase the risk of cancer. Cancer researchers have found a link between diet and cancer and discovered that people who avoided meat were less likely to develop the disease.
Meats are devoid of fiber, antioxidants, phytochemicals and other productive nutrients. The World Cancer Research fund agrees that meat high in saturated fat and potentially carcinogenic compounds from over-grilling may increase your risk of developing breast, colon, kidney and prostate cancer.
4. Reverse and Prevent Disease: Good News
The body can manufacture its own saturated fat, so you don't actually need to include any in your diet. The American Heart Association suggests you seriously limit the saturated fat in your diet. For cooking, choose fats that heal, such as extra virgin olive, flax oil, avocado oil, organic coconut oil, grape seed oil, soy oil, wheat germ oil, walnut oil or hemp seed oil. Our body metabolizes coconut oil completely differently.
If your arteries are clogged, exercise routinely with resolve, include more fiber and eat a whole foods diet brimming with fresh, sun-drenched, fibrous produce--the language our cells comprehend. For example, cranberries, the non-stick artery spray, can be used as nourishing, proactive prevention for arterial cholesterol build-up of sat-fats. Humans were designed to be physically active. Schedule a regular aerobic routine you can work into your daily life.
5. Fat Limits
Experts urge no more than 30 percent of daily calories of fat with no more than 7 percent in saturated fat. To prevent heart disease and cancer, the total should be 10 to 20 percent of healing fats. Damaging fat build-up didn't accrue overnight. Be patient as you introduce new foods to your system. The delicate human body needs time to adjust to each change. Make one change, get use to it, accept and then embrace it. Before you know it you'll be feeling radiantly healthy.
