Good Fats vs Bad Fats
When you hear the word ‘fat’, you probably would think ‘bad’. That's because for
years we've heard that fat causes heart attacks, high cholesterol, weight gain,
and even afternoon slumps. Now we know better. Science has shown that not
all fats are created equal. We are starting to realise that not all ‘fat’ is necessarily
bad, and that certain fats can actually be beneficial to our health. For example,
polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids from foods like salmon, olive
oil and peanut butter are attributed to prevention of heart disease, Alzheimer's,
depression, and various forms of cancer.
We must be careful not to associate the ‘good’ fat with the ‘bad’. While
polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are beneficial to a healthy balance,
other fats are making the headlines because of their role in causing disease.
The saturated fats we find in meats and dairy foods can raise blood cholesterol
levels, increasing the risk for heart disease. Beware of the worst fat of all – trans
fats – to be avoided entirely if possible.
If all this seems complicated, you're not alone. Many are still finding it a bit
difficult to differentiate the ‘fatty details’. You’ll find inside some simple terms to
keep your food tasty and heart healthy under the World Heart Day section.
To your great health.
