How many times have you heard the theory that people gain weight by eating fatty foods? Most of us thought this made sense and readily accepted it as truth. According to an increasing number of nutritional experts, however, fat causing fat is antiquated and wrong. Current research proves that some fats actually help you lose weight and keep it off! Eating foods with “good” fats, while staying away from “bad” fats, are the right way to go.
Now you might be asking, “What does good and bad mean?” “Bad” fats are saturated fats and trans fats (i.e. processed). Some of these fats to avoid are: canola oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated oils, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, and margarine. Trans fats contribute to arterial wall inflammation, which increases risk of both heart disease and cancer.
The most expensive medical therapies and medication costs are cancer related. Many Americans have lost everything they owned to survive in a world of bankruptcy. Cancer treatments in the United States are expected to total over $207 billion dollars by 2020. So claim your life now before cancer does and invest in a healthy future. A good place to start is looking at what you eat.
Adding more “good,” unsaturated fatty acids to your diet increases good cholesterol levels, helps coat nerves and brain tissue, builds cell walls, absorbs vitamins, and aids in hormone development. These fats include the following: coconut oil and coconuts, avocados, nuts, seeds, wild fish, and grass fed beef. Omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids are the main component of “good” fats. The ideal consumption ratio is 4:1 (omega 6 : omega 3).
However, reaching the 4:1 ratio is getting increasingly difficult with all of the processed foods on our markets’ shelves. That’s why Maximized Living created an easy solution to the lack of “good” fats in our diets.
