Saturated fat is another
component of big importance in every day eating. The downside is that
saturated fat clogs your arteries by increasing your cholesterol levels
even more than cholesterol does itself. Keeping saturated fat to less
than 10 percent of your daily total calories is a good way to stay in
shape.
Keep it on 20
A proportion of 20/20 is the
best combination for your health. 20% of your calories should be coming
from good fats, any less than 20% and your hormonal production will go
down. Consuming any more than 20% is a sure way to start accumulating
plenty of fat.
Fuel for your body
Fats not only store the fat
soluble vitamins; Fat is also vital to the formation of structural
materials of cells and tissues. That is why it is impossible to discard
fats from your diet. It should be consumed carefully, since the same
amount of fat may give about double the amount of energy that a carbs
give. Still fats are the richest source of energy.
