Choose The Right Fat for a Healthy Body

In the 1980s experts recommend that people who suffer from weight problems to incorporate fat-free diet.

Fat was most often dikambinghitamkan as a cause of obesity. Recently discovered later that the opinion actually confused.

The recommendation was criticized as a "non-controlled experiment on the entire population" is evaluated exactly a lot of people make the body more fertile.

Fat is actually needed for health. Fat is important for optimal brain function, for the heart, skin, and other vital body organs, in addition to the absorption of many vitamins.

In people who go on a diet, fats can not be abandoned. Body digest fats will help suppress ghrelin, the hormone that makes us feel hungry, and simultaneously trigger the release of peptides that make us feel satisfied and full.

Fat in adequate amounts is also required to press glycemic index foods until we feel full longer.

Without fat, the skin becomes dry, hair becomes dull, and increased cholesterol levels if you consume more carbohydrates instead of fat.

However, preferably selected fat is unsaturated fat found in cooking oil made ​​from grains such as corn, peanut, soybean, olive, and sunflower seeds. More good fats among others omege-3, found in fish and avocado fruit.

The cooking oil is widely used in Indonesia for palm oil and coconut oil. Both are sources of saturated fat. Other sources of saturated fat should be reduced among others fat lard, organ meats, butter, milk, and all kinds of cakes and tarts made ​​from lots of eggs and butter.

Nevertheless the recommended amount of fat consumed per day should still be limited. In a balanced diet recommendations, the fat is in the peak of the pyramid, which means very little amount of use.
