Generally, people have a thought that the fat is not good for health but that is not true. Not all fats are bad. The enemies are the saturated fats found in red meat and whole milk dairy products like ghee, butter, cream, cheese, oils, like coconut and palm oil etc. saturated fats increase the levels of harmful low density lipoprotein cholesterol known as LDL in the blood, even more than what the cholesterol rich foods do. It’s the LDL cholesterol in the blood, even more than what the cholesterol rich foods do. It’s the LDL cholesterol that is linked to increased risk of developing problems in the arteries that nourish the heart. To put it succinctly, cholesterol circulation through the blood stream is possible due to a combination of cholesterol and protein called lipoproteins that comes in two types that are high density and low density. The high density lipoprotein HDL dislodges excess cholesterol out of the cells and the lining of the arteries and delivers it on the liver for removal. The low density lipoproteins LDL, however, deposit cholesterol on the walls of the arteries’ undoing what HDL’s do.People should not register in their mind that fats are the enemies. There are also heroes in fats, which are very essential. Polyunsaturated fats are the real saviors. Unlike saturated fats, which almost always come from land animals, unsaturated fats come from plants and fish. Corn oil, cottonseed, safflower, soybeans, sunflower oil fetched is examples. The polyunsaturated fats help lower the levels of LDL cholesterol while maintaining high levels of beneficial high density lipoprotein HDL cholesterol. However, it happens only if the amount of polyunsaturated fat is equal to the amount of polyunsaturated fat is equal to the amount of saturated fats. For a generation thriving on French fries, burgers, pizzas, pastas, and the aerated drinks, this is just a pipe dream!So what’s the trick? Keep the intake of both kinds of fats roughly equal. However, that doesn’t men you gorge on burgers and make up for it by downing a bottle of sunflower oil! Consumption of both kinds of fat should be less than 30% of the total calorie.
