Healing Fats
When you cut out fat, what is left is protein and carbohydrate, both of which can produce a blood-sugar response. Fat is the only substance that won’t have an impact on your blood sugar. It also provides essential fatty acids you can’t get from protein or carbohydrates. Contrary to what you may have heard, fat can be good for you.
Essential fatty acids (EFA) deficiency may be the most prevalent dietary shortage in our culture, thanks to the misguided obsession with avoiding dietary fat and the over consumption of trans fats instead of healthy natural fats.
Eating the right kind of fat is good for you!
Understand this basic concept: Some fats kill and other fats heal.
If you want to be healthy, know the difference, and choose dietary fats accordingly.
- Some fats promote cancer while other fats inhibit cancer.
- Some fats inhibit immune function while other fats are required for and enhance our immune system
- Some fats make us more susceptible to a stroke or a heart attack. Other fats protect us from heart attacks and strokes.
- Some fats lead to, and others reverse atherosclerosis.
- Some fats increase triglycerides (blood fats). Other fats lower blood fats. That’s right! Fats can lower blood fats.
- Some fats interfere with, while others are required for insulin function.
- Some fats interfere with, while other fats are absolutely vital for brain development and brain function. And these fats are extremely important for the health of women, especially during pregnancies.
- Some fats slow you down, but other fats increase your energy levels,
Also – fats don’t make you fat. The essential fats used in the right ratio to another, can be used very effectively for fat reduction and weight management.
Western and affluent high fat diets contain the wrong fats for health. They lack some of the good fats, contain too much of the unnecessary fats, and are destructively processed, changing some of their molecules into toxic ones. Such fats increase cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, premenstrual syndrome, and other degenerative diseases.
The low fat (no fat) diet that is the rage today, leads to stunted growth in children; dry skin; low energy levels; high cholesterol; high triglycerides; compromised immune function; leaky gut and allergies; lower testosterone production etc.
Low fat foods can taste boring since fats enhance taste, and they deprive many people of great tasting foods. Manufacturers deal with this problem in a rather interesting way. They load low fat foods with sugar, which your body turns into the hard (saturated) fats they claim to be avoiding by making these low fat foods in the first place. What a ridiculous idea! What a bad joke for health!
What we need is not a high fat, low fat, no fat or fake fat diet.
What we need is the RIGHT FAT Diet.
