Fats That Harm, Fats That Heal - The Food Cure

Fats: The Metabolic Messengers in Your Meals
With the nuts you nosh, the wild salmon you savor and the potato chips you
crunch, you determine your future health.
That‘s because fats are building blocks for cell
membranes, precursors for a variety of hormones
and hormone-like substances, and are required to
absorb vital nutrients.
But arguably most important, fats have the power
to directly affect your genes. Surprised?
The type of fat you eat affects every part of your
body - your mood and level of mental clarity, your
circadian rhythms, the constriction or dilation of
your blood vessels, whether you store calories as
fat or burn them for fuel, the fluidity or stiffness of
your joints, the tone and texture of your skin, and even if your genes are primed
to fight cancer…or promote it.
Sound like too much for a little molecule to do? Think again.
In fact, just one fast food meal containing unhealthy fat can increase free radical
levels and dangerously constrict your blood vessels for more than 2 hours!
That‘s why it‘s important to be mindful of every mouthful. Each bite you take
sends powerful signals to your body to heal…or to harm.
