Oils

Slip, Sliding, Away…

Away, to improved digestion and ease of elimination. Not only are fats essential for heart, blood, immune system and brain, they make it easy to eliminate, given the correct type of fats. Let’s break it down in to two polyunsaturated sources of fat and three types of food source fat.

Two polyunsaturated sources of fat are:

  1. Omega 3 – marine flora & fauna as well as some plant sources
  2. Omega 6 – primarily seeds, nuts, soy, corn & sunflower

Foods contain at least one of these three sources of fats:

  1. Monounsaturated – avocado, nuts, canola, peanut, & olive oil
  2. Saturated – milk & meat products, commercial baked goods, deep-fried food, coconut & palm oil
  3. Polyunsaturated – fish & seafood, safflower, sunflower, corn, & soy oils as well as seeds and brazil nuts.

So, what does this all mean?

Simply put… include more good (polyunsaturated & monosaturated oils) in your diet and fewer bad (saturated) oils to provide essential nutrients and improve digestion. Look at the benefits:

  • Heart health, including:
    • Regulating heart beat
    • Lowers Bad cholesterol (triglycerides)
    • Lowers blood pressure
    • Lowers risk of cardiovascular disease
