Eat Healthy Fats

Fat causes obesity. It raises your cholesterol. It causes heart disease. It may even contribute to development of cancer or so the media would have you believe.

But if it is all that bad, why is it part of our natural diet chain? The reason is fat can actually be good for you.

It provides the body with essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) needed for normal reproduction and growth, as well as for production of prostoglandin, a hormone like compound that regulates blood pressure, blood clotting, and inflammation.

On a more practical level, fat cushions bones and vital organs, protects the body from extreme temperatures, carries fat-soluble nutrients, and serves as an important energy reserve.

When eating fats eat more healthy fat. Eating more "healthy" fats includes the following cold-water fish (mackerel, salmon), nuts, and olive oil.
