“Why You Must Eat These Fats”

You’ll never believe it but there are fats that you MUST eat to live well and be healthy.

But you’ve got to eat the right ones – they’re called ‘essential fatty acids’.

Fresh fish, such as salmon and tuna are one of the great sources of essential fatty acids that your body needs. Other sources included pumpkin seeds and walnuts. But often you don’t get enough in your diet to provide as much as you really need. This is why many people take essential fatty acids in supplement form.

Research has shown that people who eat higher levels of Omega 3 fish oils, can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, reduce blood pressure and maybe even help you lose fat and keep weight off. It’s not a magic cure, but it’s something to consider. It helps keep weight off by regulating blood sugar levels, which in turn helps keep hunger at bay.

However, there has been some controversy and conflicting research about the true benefits, see this article for example, but the general consensus is to keep eating them.

Oils To Avoid

A bit off topic, but I’ve realise I haven’t covered it elsewhere.

There are some oils you should try to cut out of your diet. You can do this easily by changing the types of oils you use in your cooking.

Stop using vegetable oil and regular cooking oil, instead use Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Sunflower Oil – they’re better for you. Also on your salads, cut the oily dressings, they add a lot of calories. There are a lot of other foods to avoid, Tom Venuto has a list as long as my arm on which foods you should avoid in his book.

So here’s a few quick tips to follow:

  • Take a Omega-3 supplement each day, speak to your doctor about how much and when to take it.
  • Eat more fish, nuts and other foods which naturally contain fatty acids.
  • Cut down on your use of vegetables oils and cooking oils, instead go for Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
