Like protein and carbs, fat is a type of food that your body requires for energy, to absorb vitamins, and to safeguard the health of your heart and brain. We have been told for years that eating fat can increase your waistline by inches, elevate your cholesterol, and result in a variety of health issues. But today we understand that not all fat is created equal.
Although dietary fat was traditionally shunned and thought to be a significant cause of heart disease, researchers have discovered that it can really have certain advantages.
Still, compared to their low-fat or fat-free equivalents, full-fat meals may have advantages. They often include fewer sugar and carbohydrates and are less processed. The negative effects of all fats have been attributed to "bad" fats, including weight gain, blocked arteries, an increased risk of certain illnesses, and so on.Artificial trans fats and saturated fats are examples of "bad" fats. The converse is true for "healthy" lipids, such as omega-3 fatty acids and unsaturated fats. In reality, eating healthy fats can help you regulate your moods, stay sharp mentally, battle tiredness, and even keep your weight under control. Since fat is a crucial component of a balanced diet, focusing on increasing consumption of healthy "good" fats while reducing consumption of detrimental "bad" fats is more crucial than adopting a low-fat diet.
